In Georgia, many hobby farmers and small producers buy feed by the bag. Larger producers such as Tysons, buy feed locally produced, ground and delivered in bulk trucks.

Roadside "Eggs for Sale" signs have slipped into extinction. Due to escalating feed prices, there is no longer any "egg money" in keeping chickens. Unless you grind your own feed or specialize in "Free Range" production (which still requires supplements), there hasn't been much money to be made in eggs in a long time.

With taxes, that 50lb bag of Layena in the graphic is just over .50 cents a pound at Tractor Supply Co.

#3 I've been reading that many backyard chicken farmers had to switch feed from Tractor Supply to something else.

Some said Tractor Supply introduced GMO into the supply chain.

Some others said they purposely left Calcium and a B Vitamin out of the feed.

Another thing to remember, remember last year we had the railroad issues, and we currently continue to have fertilizer woes. Both dont help.

#4 Yes, vaccine zealots stopped worrying about GMO all of a sudden.
