Transporting the grain from the field to the mill.
Milling
Transporting flour (and at least 3 other ingredients) from the mill to the bakery
Baking, packaging
Transporting the bread from the bakery to the supermarket
Running the supermarket.

Turns out there is a difference between raw wheat and bread. More news at 8.

When farmers get paid too little for their effort, making these wild comparisons isn’t helping. It seems we’re about a year away from the conclusion “I stubbed my toe. This must be capitalism’s fault.”

Don’t understand how he can be part of this industry and not understand it at all.

Or he does understand and is playing a victim. Second is more likely.

Yeah, this is the guy who successfully played victim when he got fired for punching someone in the face. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Yup. I remember it well.

Did you see the interview during the farmers protest where he got upset that the interviewer pointed out he’d only bought the farm to dodge IHT?

According to his own column, no less.
