The cost of eggs for consumers is 34% lower than last year, according to January’s consumer price index. But for farmers, they have too many eggs selling at rock bottom prices.

Diesel fuel is still higher priced than gasoline in most areas...blame your Gov for that-due to the pollution requirements.
They now know people will pay 5$+ for a dozen plain white eggs.
Prices will rise to capture that easy delta.
That’s how prices work in a market.
We have 17 chickens in our flock right now. Over the last 7 years that number fluctuates here and there. Some die, get replaced, we’ll lose a few to coyotes sometimes. It’s a hazard if you let them free range. The free ranging is better for them. My property abuts a 600 acres nature preserve. Lots of creatures want to kill your chickens - coyotes, fisher cats, hawks, black bears, etc. You have to be vigilant. In any event, my engineer wife tracks and weighs every egg we collect. We’ve collected over 12,000. The eggs are delicious and when you have 3 large sons the extra food helps. My oldest, a big football and rugby player (he’s captain of the University of Michigan rugby team) ate 4 or 5 eggs every day for the 4 years he was in high school. We never have to buy eggs. All those years they were expensive didn’t affect us. We used to sell a dozen for $6 when we had extra. We would sell out immediately.
Didn’t President Trump say he’s going to import more south American beef to lower prices?
Liberals just like to bitch, bitch, bitch. Never happy.
The very first thing they starting complaining about the day after Trump took office was egg prices.
2% annual inflation is normal according to Federal Reserve.
$2.99 at Safeway-with coupon. You get 18 of them.
My parents in India always had water buffalo and chicken on the property. Water buffalo milk is richer & creamier than cow milk. The chicken foraged on the property and I still remember the delicious tasting eggs.
I’m enjoying my CHEAP daily breakfast of 2 XL poached eggs on a generously butter-slathered slice of sourdough toast, garnished with salt, pepper (fresh-ground, of course) and grated parmesan cheese. Ta die for, I tell yah! Bon appetit!
But we don’t have 2 percent, its higher. That’s the hamster wheel mentality of merely chasing the the status quo while we inflate away.
First, Trump over-corrected Global Warming.
Now, he over-corrected Inflation. Can’t he stop fixing things! /s
I live in a suburb of Boston, we have 2.5 acres and abut a huge wilderness area. Chickens are allowed, goats would be too I think, but I’m pretty sure we can’t have larger farm animals. So no water buffalo for us! But the eggs are awesome
Great Jumping Jehoshaphat!
At the highest you could buy free range eggs around here for four dollars a dozen. Most of us never sold for above three. Three-fifty if we had to provide the carton.
We mostly still sell for the same price.
2.2 to 2.4%
It’s CNN ... everything is a crisis and only More Big Government can help.
Egg prices too high- bad for consumers. Egg prices too low - bad for farmers. IS. there no happy medium lol?!
One of the egg farms near where I live claims 14 million hens and 11 million eggs produced every day. That’s three locations, I think. Imagine the logistics...
IOW, egg prices too high? We blame Trump. Egg prices back in line? We Blame Trump.
