Blizzard Disrupts Distribution of Eggs and Replenishing Supermarket Stocks

Initial contact with producers operating in-line complexes in Texas, Mississippi and Missouri did not indicate damage to facilities as a result of the severe and prolonged cold weather prevailing in the region.  Many operations are running on emergency generators where power outages have occurred. Disruption in distribution is  the main problem due to heavy snowfall in areas inadequately equipped for removal. The impact on sales, stock and prices will depend on the duration of the emergency.
