ICYMI: Secretary Brooke Rollins Outlines Plan to Lower Egg Prices
In today’s Wall Street Journal, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins lays out the Trump Administration’s comprehensive plan to bring down the price of eggs.
“The Biden administration did little to address the repeated outbreaks and high egg prices that followed. By contrast, the Trump administration is taking the issue seriously. To that end, today I am announcing a comprehensive strategy to combat avian influenza. The Agriculture Department will invest up to $1 billion to curb this crisis and make eggs affordable again. We are working with the Department of Government Efficiency to cut hundreds of millions of dollars of wasteful spending. We will repurpose some of those dollars by investing in long-term solutions to avian flu, which has resulted in about 166 million laying hens being culled since 2022.”
