THE KANSAS CITY STAR: The 2012 drought is taking its toll on beef prices.
The average price of a sirloin steak is up almost 20 percent from a year ago. An 8-ounce filet mignon costs $15 or more at some Kansas City area stores, for example, or you can get six shipped online to your door for $180.
Two pounds of extra-lean ground beef can set you back $12, a couple of dollars more than last spring.
