Lowering Egg Prices Act could allow broiler eggs to be sold for consumption

Congress has introduced a bipartisan bill to boost the nation’s egg supply.

The Lowering Egg Prices Act urges the FDA to modify a policy that forces farmers to discard some 400 million eggs every year.

Congressman Dusty Johnson is co-leading the legislation and he spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender on the impact to the broiler industry, how the industry is coping with prices, and USDA’s HPAI strategy.
