Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the problems plaguing the egg industry in the early 20th century. In particular, it focuses on the crucial role that farmers and merchants play in the quality of eggs sold to consumers. The author, writing in the midst of growing national concern over food safety and quality, argues that the common practice of buying eggs on a 'case-count' system, paying only for quantity regardless of quality, leads to widespread deterioration in the egg supply. Through detailed observations and case studies conducted in Kansas, the author reveals a shocking level of neglect in the handling of eggs, from poorly constructed poultry houses to the lack of proper storage facilities. This book illuminates the complex web of factors contributing to the poor quality of farm eggs, including inadequate nesting practices, improper gathering methods, and the delay in transporting eggs to market. The author offers a compelling critique of the prevalent system and a roadmap for improvement, highlighting the potential for greater profit for farmers, and healthier choices for consumers. Ultimately, this book provides a valuable insight into the evolution of food production and the economic and social challenges facing the agricultural industry.
