War Food Administration sets egg price needs for 1945
Washington reports war requirements for top quality shell eggs in 1945 exceed 1944. Civilian needs should match last year, with distribution plans intact to prevent price support purchases. WFA outlines an egg price support program including dried and shell eggs for export and direct price support, based on cost plus conversion charges. Total 1945 farm production seen at 4.35 billion dozen, about 10 percent below 1944, yet civilians receive similar quantities. Military and export needs for dried eggs covered by 1945 production and 1944 carryover totaling about 100 million pounds.
