Direct Marketing of Graded Eggs Hatched in Benton County
Thirteen Benton county farm women qualified for a dairy egg marketing project with seventeen more to join. The Iowa Poultry Producers Marketing Association and Iowa Farm Bureau organize twenty one county groups to sell premium quality eggs in identified cartons at four to eight cents above regular prices. Cartons bear the producer’s name and eggs must weigh at least 24 ounces a dozen. Trials will route eggs via Ottumwa to New York to verify grading accuracy before shipping direct to consumers.
