Just last month my grocer had a $3 off on Land of lakes any size dozen, this month it's 50 cents and no Land of Lakes on the shelves, suddenly it's all Egglands Best free-range organic. It sure seems suspicious....

Mostly it seems the small family producer that's getting whacked, by the avian flu restrictions. Free-range outdoor places have longer quarantine time than the big indoor factory farms. They have 120 day hold.

Outdoor spread of the virus is greater, since unpredictable visits from interested other birds can bring it in to the flock.
