Summer Egg Care Boosts Grade A Yields for Poultry
Michigan State College expert Larry Dawson notes higher Grade A egg percentages come from frequent gathering, rapid cooling, multiple weekly sales, and low holding temperatures. A farmer raised Grade A share from 50 to 86 percent by collecting eggs thrice daily and storing in a cave rather than a porch. Eggs cool twice as fast in a wire basket as in a pail. Farmers can gather into a pail then move to cooling trays, but avoid leaving eggs in the pail all day.
