Excerpt from Economic Characteristics of and Changes in the Market Egg IndustryAlthough numerous State and regional studies have dealt with one phase of the egg industry at a particular point in time, none of these have been broad enough to furnish a comprehensive picture of the industry during one time period. Moreover, these individual studies have often been oriented toward one segment of the industry, such as producers or egg packers, and usually toward only a few phases of that segment such as sources, outlets, egg quality, or some particular practice. Hence, it was decided to carry out a sample survey on a national basis, during a reasonably homogeneous time period, and with extensive coverage of the industry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
