This book presents an economic and operational blueprint for an on-the-farm egg grading and packing plant that moves the processing, packaging, and marketing functions to the production areas. The author provides a detailed layout of a plant designed to efficiently handle a large volume of eggs while minimizing production and transportation costs. Economic analysis is included for construction, operation, and potential revenue based on historical market data. This book is positioned within a historical context of the economics of the egg industry. It describes how technological changes, increased demand, and improved methods have shaped the industry in recent decades, making on-the-farm egg processing and packaging feasible. The author also explores the feasibility of direct retailing of eggs, providing an analysis of potential income and costs. The book concludes that building and operating an egg grading and packing plant can be a sound economic investment for producers with a reliable market and that this practice will save energy, reduce transportation costs, and provide an opportunity for increased income for small farmers.
