Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., this weekend renewed his call to break up agricultural monopolies after the nation's largest egg producer reported that its quarterly profits soared more than 700%.
Cal-Maine Foods, which controls about 20% of the U.S. egg market, announced last week that its revenue for the quarter ending Feb. 25 rose 109% to $997.5 million, while profit for the same period skyrocketed 718% to $323.2 million.
