Egg farm has surprising grain price advantage

摘要

Rich black soil, an eager workforce and an agricultural heritage combine to make Hyde County a good home for Rose Acre Farms. Rose Acre Farms was looking for an ideal location for a new complex that could fulfill a number of requirements, including access to grain and finding a locale in the Eastern U.S. with an animal agriculture friendly culture that needed jobs. It succeeded with its Hyde County complex in North Carolina. Located just a few land miles from North Carolina's Pamlico Sound, Rose AcreFarms' Hyde County complex initially seems a rather unlikely home for around 3.5 million laying hens.
