Marketing pullet eggs by grade to maximize prices
When pullets start laying, eggs are graded by size and weight, with No 2 eggs around 36 cents a dozen and No 1s about 70 cents. Grading begins as eggs reach 18 ounces, and top quality No 1s after 23 ounces. If sold via a receipts buyer, higher No 2 prices may be missed and pullet eggs are treated as pullets until over 23 ounces.

Experimental soil stabilizers urge careful testing warned USDA
