- The food-dollar teardown says 11.8 cents reaches farms, down from 16.3 cents a decade earlier.
Field notes
The gasoline teardown gives both dollar amounts and percentage shares: crude oil is listed at $2.04, while refining costs and profits account for $0.99. Food examples add a contrast between eggs, at 69 cents to the farm per dollar, and soda, at 1.3 cents. The homepage names a glossary and sources section, and says the newsletter arrives weekly.
