Mild Winter Brings Drop In Egg Prices
Alfred Van Wagenen of Ohio State University cites mild winter weather and expiring government egg buying contracts as key factors in the recent drop in egg prices. He notes seasonal demand slump, increased winter production on the coast, and hatchery market shifts, while optimism grows for renewed government support and army purchases to lift prices. Ohio poultrymen aim to exceed 1943 production by 2 percent in 1944, with prices expected to hold similar to 1943 through the year.
