Greg Mills knows his eggs. He has been working in the industry for more than 15 years: with the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries; as an industry adviser to the national poultry welfare code; as a university lecturer on egg production; and as an on-farm consultant in the development of free-range farms. He has talked eggs to schoolchildren at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and presented to wider audiences on why we have intensive livestock systems. In 2017 he was named Kondinin rural consultant of the year.
So, when Mills says that what we are seeing on supermarket shelves now – no eggs or expensive eggs – is here to stay, it pays to listen up.
