March Declared Egg Month by Illinois Governor
Illinois Governor Otto Kerner proclaimed March Egg Month at a Springfield breakfast. Poultry specialist Scott Hinners says the designation aims to boost egg consumption amid a national effort led by the Illinois Egg Council to improve quality and usage. U.S. Agriculture data show per capita egg consumption declined from 393 in 1951 to 87 in 1965, with prices for Grade A large eggs down about 27 percent from the early 1950s, while egg quality rose.
