> The American Farm Bureau Federation reports that US egg production reached about 9.1 billion dozen in 2018, with 7.9 billion dozen for table use. It says supply is ample and retail prices are lower, with a seasonal bump expected ahead of Passover and Easter, and it recounts the recovery from the 2015 HPAI outbreak.
