Egg Producers Losing Money in Carolina Market
Dozens of Carolina egg producers have gone out of business due to a surplus of laying hens and depressed prices. Allen Ashcraft of FCX in Charlotte notes small farmers lose three to five cents per dozen at current prices. Some poultrymen survive only because banks won’t foreclose. Grade A large eggs sell 42 to 45 cents a dozen locally, while farmers receive about 25 cents.
