We Need to Talk About the High Price of Eggs (Says Produce Farmer)
The list of reasons for why egg prices are high is lengthy, but there are two big ones that don't get talked about. Both of these boil down to simple 'supply and demand.' In this video, the owner of Dynamite Harvest (central WI) will zero in on one of them.
In sum: the consumer's desire for the cheapest possible cost literally put all our eggs in one basket, incentivizing factory-style egg laying operations. Which is all well and good, provided the chickens in those factories aren't culled in mass, or truckers have to pay a lot more for the same fuel to deliver it to parts hundreds if not thousands of miles away, etc. As with eggs, so with 'widgets.'
It is not just a matter of eating healthier food that is grown locally. It is about adding hundreds of thousands of 'redundancies' to the supply chain by sourcing essentials as close to the consumer as possible, so that if cargo ships from China stop sailing, we don't go hungry. To wit: this is also a matter of national security.
But for this to happen, the consumers themselves will need to alter their purchasing behaviors. The sooner the better.
