A new survey of Kentucky food prices says the rising cost of beef and pork products led to an overall 3.9 percent jump in retail food
prices during the third quarter of the year.
 
The Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation's survey was conducted last month. It listed the total cost of 40 basic grocery items at $127, compared with $122.23 in the previous quarter.
 
The Farm Bureau says it's the fifth consecutive quarter with an increasing price total.
 
The latest results show Kentucky's grocery prices rising by 5.8 percent overall in 2014.
 
Of the six food groups recorded in the most recent survey, the beef category showed the largest total gain. Pork was not far behind.
