Egg Prices and Prices Relatives. Note: Farm-gate and retail (store door) prices are for large-sized, grade A white eggs produced in conventional cages (i.e., undifferentiated commodity table eggs). Farm-gate prices are producer averages for Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin (three of the largest egg-producing states). Retail prices are observed in Chicago—the nearest major metro area. We match these data with weekly average breaker egg prices in the Central U.S. states. Source: USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
