Farm Bureau members are invited to participate in American Farm Bureau’s Summer Cookout Survey of retail food prices commonly used to prepare a cookout meal for 10 people. The survey tracks prices on commonly found foods including ground beef, American cheese, hamburger buns, chicken breasts, pork chops, potatoes, onions, celery, eggs, canned pork & beans, strawberries, lemons, sugar, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.

Survey results will be used for a July Fourth national publicity campaign on the retail cost of food that emphasizes its relatively small increase in price over time compared to other consumer goods, as well as the contribution of U.S. food, fiber and fuel production to national security.

Between June 1-7, complete a mobile-friendly web survey. You may visit a grocery store in person, if you wish, or check prices using a grocery store app or website. 

Members who complete the survey can send MFBF Leadership and Education Manager Pam Debele a screenshot of their submitted survey (confirmation screen) to be entered into a drawing for a grocery gift card!
