Valley Food Prices Up 18 Percent Since Last Year

Many local farms won't see a profit this year, according to the Arizona Farm Bureau.

Food prices around the Valley have jumped 18 percent in the past year, largely due to rising energy costs.

Julie Murphree of the Arizona Farm Bureau said the biggest concern is the possibility of food producers moving overseas to save money.

Murphree said many local livestock farms won't see a profit this year.
