Why are eggs so expensive?  Special guest Tony Wesner joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Tony, a native of Jackson County, is the CEO of Rose Acre Farms which, like Premier Companies, is headquartered in Seymour, Indiana, and they’ve had a front row seat to the damage that bird flu can cause.You’ll hear about Tony’s background in agriculture and his 43+ year adventure with Rose Acre Farm which is a third generation, family-owned egg farm.  Tony will share about how the avian flu has impacted their operation and how they are navigating losing six million birds in the first couple of months of 2025.  He’ll talk about the ripple effects that growers will feel because of the losses and his testimony in front of the Senate Agriculture Committee.  Can you trust the eggs that you’re purchasing off the shelves?  Tony will share why you can trust those eggs, and if you’re wondering what you can do, in Tony’s words, “Tell your politicians and your lawmakers, help the egg industry, help the turkey people, help the dairy people come up with vaccination programs… so that we can have affordable food, we can have safe food, and we can not have to destroy animals that are here working to feed all of us.”
