DECATUR, Ga. - Many
egg producers have
received notification of
carton price increases. This
comes on top of increased
costs for labor, tran
sportation, energy, capital,
and all other areas involved
in operating egg production,
reports United Voices,
newsletter of the United Egg
Producers, headquartered
here.
'According to U.E.P. an
egg price increase of one
cent per dozen means 1.1
million dollars per week to
the egg industry. In-plant
processing costs alone have
gone from 11.56 in 1974 to 13.7
in 1977 and are expected to
rise to 14.5-15 cents by July
1978. These costs are
determined by Dr. George
Rogers, USDA Poultry
Group, Economic Research
Service, Washington, D.C.,
and substantiated by many
in-plant records.

Bergland to seek restoration
of funds in the Department
budget which would allow
the National Poultry Im
provement Plan to continue.
An appropriation for NPIP
was not included when the
proposed buijget was an
nounced by President
Carter. Last year’s NPIP
budget was $174,000.
In a letter to the Secretary,
James Fleming, U.E.P. vice
president for governmental
relations, suggested that the
small request may have
caused it to be lost in the
preparation of the $17.7
billion budget. The plan has
been successful in its
cooperation with industry to
control pullorum and
typhoid in chickens.
In letters to the chairmen
of the House and Senate
Agriculture Committees,
U.E.P. this week asked that
the 1977 Farm Bill be
amended to include poultry

Emergency Feed Program.

The amendment may be
pushed through this session
of Congress and provide
retroactive provisions to
affected egg and poultry
producers.
According to Fleming,
poultry has been excluded
from similar programs since
first approved by Congress
back in 1959. However, since
that time, changes in the egg
industry have seen more and
more producers of poultry
also producing sizable
quantities of feed for their
chickens. The House passed
version of the Farm Bill
included poultry last year,
but the senate version did
not. Conferees accepted the
Senate Bill which was
eventually approved and
signed by the President.
Fleming said it may be
difficult getting a special
amendment but he believes
the case for poultrymen is
better today then ever in the
past. He encouraged af
fected producers to contact
their representatives on the
matter.
