Show HN: A website that tracks US food prices every day

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes daily food price data for about 290 commodities on:

- what growers were paid at shipping point

- what buyers paid at the big city wholesale markets

- what prices supermarkets advertised in their weekly ads

This data comes out as dozens of separate text reports and PDFs, one per market, with no history and no way to see how prices change over time.

I think this should be public data that is easy to access and understand, so I built an open-source tracker for it.
