The equipment to plant, harvest, and transport grain used by the farmers in KS is powered by diesel fuel. Therefore, an increase in the price of the fuel will also increase the price of the bread. The main ingredients of the bread are coming from the farmers' harvest of grain. When the price of the fuel would increase, the farmers would be selling their grains at a higher price which would yield to a higher price of the bread.
