As we transition from a turbulent 2023 we wish our Subscribers and sponsors a productive and more peaceful coming year

Our hopes for 2024 are:

• An end to the current wave of HPAI and a more rational approach to protection of flocks in high-risk areas by adoption of vaccination to supplement biosecurity.
• A reversal of USDA and EPA policies to place intensive livestock production at a disadvantage. Proposed new rules under the Packers and Stockyards act and limiting pollution from waste discharges should be reconsidered with respect to objectives, economic impact and implementation
• Continued improvement in the economy with an anticipated ‘soft landing”
• Resolution of Congressional deadlock through bipartisanship, allowing passage of appropriations bills, evolution of a practical immigration and border entry policy and reducing unnecessary and wasteful spending.
• Restoration of peace in conflict areas to alleviate suffering

The EGG-NEWS Team wishes you a successful and profitable 2024.

Barbara and I look forward to renewing our friendship at the IPPE
