President Trump’s swift action to combat soaring egg prices, caused by the Biden-Harris regime’s mass culling of egg-laying hens just before he took office, has been nothing short of spectacular.
Egg prices have since collapsed, forcing Democratic strategists to abandon their propaganda warfare efforts with corrupt leftist corporate media to blame “egg-flation” on Trump when, in reality, it was a crisis of Biden’s making through improper culling practices and no countermeasures to offset loss production. It’s almost as if the prior administration wanted consumers to feel pocketbook pain.
Earlier this year egg prices spiked to record highs during the tail end of the Northern Hemisphere’s winter season.
Months later, with the latest USDA retail egg prices down 62% from record highs of more than $8 per dozen, Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton confirmed to investors on an earnings call this week that the nationwide egg shortage sparked an unbelievable surge in chick demand at stores nationwide.
Here’s more from Bloomberg:
Tractor Supply Co., a rural retailer best known for its animal feed and ranching equipment offerings, expects to sell a record amount of chicks this year as customers expand their broods and first-timers seek to avoid record-setting egg prices.
