Nick Owen can relate to the sticker shock Oklahomans are experiencing when going to the grocery store to buy products made from wheat that he and other county and state farmers have grown.
“Our hands are tied. We have no bearing on what food prices are. It’s just like any other commodity, be it a slaughter steer or wheat, you take it to market and this is what they are giving you.
“We have no say in what grocery stores or restaurants are charging. We are paying the same thing as everyone else,” said Owen.
