War demands push egg production higher in 1943
Commercial egg breaking plants produced 42 643 000 pounds of liquid egg in January for immediate use, drying and freezing. Dried egg output reached 12 018 000 pounds, up from 10 774 000 a year earlier. 1943 requires about 70 percent more dried egg for war needs, with military and lend lease consuming 25 to 30 percent of output. Clare County farmers raised laying hens from 45 165 in 1942 to 72 051 in 1948 as they aid production efforts.
