experienced wide price swings in 2012, from a low of 43c a dozen in May, to a high of 96c in September (up 123%) back down to 56c in December (down 42%), due largely to the drought and strong export demand.
Supplies were ample and prices were below cost of production as 2012 ended, leading some in the industry to anticipate sharp cutbacks in laying flocks after the first of the year. Egg product prices, though, were mixed at years end with whites flat to down more than 10%, yolks up about 30%
