Trump’s got a bird flu plan. So when will eggs stop costing so much?

The Trump administration has introduced a 5-part plan to reduce rising egg prices, according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rawlings, who stated that the full effects of this plan will not be seen until summer.
The plan includes increasing hen populations, easing regulations, and addressing bird flu, which has been a significant factor in the price increase.
Currently, the average price for a dozen eggs stands at $4.95, with a projected increase of 20.3% for the year, as stated by the USDA.
The USDA is also working to rehire workers involved in the response to the bird flu, a move highlighted as a top priority by a department spokesperson.
