OHIO'S LARGEST EGG FARM ORDERED CLOSED

"The pollution and nuisance problems caused by this farm during the last decade were intolerable," Agriculture Director Fred Dailey said. "The sad legacy of mismanagement of Buckeye Egg Farm is rapidly coming to an end." The farm promises to appeal, and chickens could still die there if the company succeeds in selling the farm to someone else. However, the AP quotes industry analysts as predicting that "potential buyers are likely to lose interest in Buckeye Egg Farm if state agriculture officials succeed in forcing its closure and that losing the eggs it produces -- 4 percent of the nation's supply -- would likely drive up prices in supermarkets." Heh. Eggs-cellent!
