“The culling of flocks — and which birds are selected — could potentially be the most controversial element of the story. Donald Trump, on the campaign trail last year, complained about the cull orders and promised to bring down egg prices fast. But his administration’s new five point plan is no quick fix: *subsidize on-farm biosecurity upgrades * compensation to farmers forced to cull their flocks * investing in bird-flu vaccines and therapeutics * nixing some regulations * increasing foreign imports. That comes to $1.5 billion spending increases to lower egg prices!” (03/07/25)
