Dave’s Weekly Market Update – October 24, 2021

Farmers are reluctant to shrink their flocks since demand should pick up shortly. For further processed eggs, the market is up. Commercial baking is in full […]

Dave’s Weekly Market Update – September 30, 2021

Good afternoon to all! Eggs: The egg market has remained stable, but inventories are building, and the next move will probably be downward. The opposite applies to processed egg products. Due to seasonal demand, breaking stock (which are used by the processors) are up and prices are rising on liquid and frozen egg items. Butter: This week, […]

Dave’s Weekly Market Update – September 16,2021

Good afternoon to all Product availability. What can I say? In my 40+ years of doing this, I’ve never seen anything like this in the supply chain.  Multiple problems are at play. To start, manufacturers cannot get enough help to run their operations, whether they are processing raw materials or producing finished products. We are also experiencing […]

Dave’s Weekly Market Update – August 19, 2021

Good afternoon, Eggs: The egg market is on fire with no sign of relief. We will see more of the same next week. This increase is being driven by strong exports and back-to-school advertising.

Dave’s Weekly Market Update – July 29, 2021

Happy Thursday! Eggs: This week, eggs drifted slightly lower as retail demand is sluggish and food service is not absorbing the excess. I do not think there will be a big decrease as soon the schools will start gearing back up throughout the country. Butter:  The price of butter dropped this week as supplies are […]

Good afternoon to all, Eggs: The egg market remained stable this week. At this point, there are no factors pushing the market. Possibly the next upward pressure on markets will be the reopening of schools. Butter: While the market bounced around a bit this week, it dropped a bit today. The close was still higher […]

Dave’s Weekly Market Update – June 28, 2021

  Good afternoon, Eggs: The egg market is very low due to lackluster demand. Agricultural producers are losing money as grain costs soar. Butter: In this week’s market, there was downward pressure, and there was little movement at the CME. We may see more declines next week. Inventories are strong and demand is not high […]
