The bird flu epidemic has proved tremendously profitable for Cal-Maine, the largest egg producer in the U.S. Its profits for the first three months of 2025 skyrocketed to $508 million, more than three times the level from a year before—even as it killed off flocks infected with avian flu and collected tens of millions in USDA payments for the culled birds. Democrats I am sure would love to blame Trump, but this problem began during Biden. America’s largest egg producer saw profits triple last quarter after raking in millions in government assistance
Supply and demand... They must have kept their chickens healthy. But I do wonder how much they gave to political entities.
The egg price rants started under the Biden administration by right wingers and were continued by normal people under Trump as satire. We know what is driving egg prices. In addition to the epidemic profiteering of egg companies is definitely one of them.
