Cassandra Arsenault reports:

Brian Baldridge, Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture, explained that Ohio lies in the path of migratory birds, making avian flu outbreaks inevitable. From 2022 to Christmas Eve 2024, 9.4 million birds were culled. In just over two months since then, 15 million birds have been slaughtered. 

Farmers face significant challenges, including depopulating birds, allowing carcasses to decompose, and testing farms for avian flu, a process that can take months. This has led to fewer eggs and higher prices
