Subject: RE: The cost of cage free eggs


 "Cage-free hens require 15 percent to 25 percent more feed than hens in modern cage systems to produce the same number of eggs. This means an additional 7 billion pounds of corn and soybean meal would be needed to feed cage-free hens".....

  Oh???..........................hmmm, maybe I'll have to look a little harder for that corn dryer.Smile

 Supply and demand. A great concept all too many people have lost understanding of. Forcing supply does not lead to demand.
