GREEN FOREST, Ark. (RFD News) — After months of elevated egg prices, the market has shifted dramatically, leaving some egg producers with financial losses and an uncertain future.
Arkansas Farm Bureau says growers have been hit by lower wholesale egg prices as production recovered following avian influenza outbreaks. Some producers have also faced financial hardship after egg integrators went out of business.
The organization says it is working with producers as the industry continues to adjust and is looking at ways to improve financial protections for egg growers.
