With Thanksgiving approaching quickly and numerous reports on the price of turkeys coming out, USDA has weighed in on the issue.

Spending time with family and friends at Thanksgiving remains important for many Americans and this year the cost of the meal is also top of mind. Farm Bureau’s 37th annual survey provides a snapshot of the average cost of this year’s classic Thanksgiving feast for 10, which is $64.05 or less than $6.50 per person. This is a $10.74 or 20 percent increase from last year’s average of $53.31.

Farmers and ranchers have been facing high prices at the pump alongside the rest of America, but U.S. food supply and security are quite literally driven by diesel. According to a new Market Intel Report by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the average U.S. on-highway price of diesel is $5.32 per gallon. While still 49 cents per gallon below June’s peak price, the average price of diesel is up $1.59 since last year.
