5 pages., Online from FMI Foundation., This report summarizes findings of an online survey distributed to 2,000 U.S. egg/chicken consumers with demographics representing the U.S. population.

Article emphasizes the economic value of good information - how "farm papers containing dairy departments make cows give milk."
