nice quotation. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. Here's an attempt to update that comparison: The lowest estimate I could find for one F35 is about $110 million. One bushel of wheat has ranged from $5 to $6 recently. I'll use $6 here. At these prices an F35 would buy more than 18 million bushels of wheat, or 36 times as much as Eisenhower's 500,000 estimate. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a21776/f-35-cheaper/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a21776/f-3... https://www.nasdaq.com/markets/wheat.aspx https://www.nasdaq.com/markets/wheat.aspx
