Egg Support Price Set at 35 to 36 Cents
The Agriculture Department announced a national egg support price of 35 to 36 cents a dozen for February through April. It plans to expand dried egg exports to Great Britain and buy surplus eggs at the stated price under the commodity support program. The bureau predicts production will exceed consumer demand at support levels, with declines in chicken slaughter but growth in broiler output and a larger turkey crop in 1946 due to feed limits.
