Mindy Larsen, CEO of the Iowa Egg Council and North Central Poultry Association, is leading efforts to support the egg and poultry industry amid significant challenges.

With an additional 20% increase in egg prices forecasted for 2025, Larsen discusses how she works to educate consumers, advocate for producers, and navigate the complex issues affecting egg supply and pricing.
