fluence retail egg price to a far greater degree than
retail egg price influences farm egg price. Despite
the declining egg volumes traded at the farm pricing
point, evidence suggests that farm egg price is still
an important egg price indicator. Finally, evidence
suggests that egg prices respond by roughly one-
third of the percentage change in com price.
