another aspect of a now-not-so-new story ...

Corn farmers have been selling more of their harvest to be processed into
fuels, and that has driven up the cost of the part of the crop that goes into
various animal feeds.
The lure of the ethanol market also has caused many farmers to replant what
normally would be soybean acres into corn, Sumner said. The resulting drop in
soybean acreage has boosted prices for that versatile crop, which is the
other key constituent of henhouse cuisine.
"One-half of the farm price of eggs is the feed price," Sumner said. "And
about half of the retail price of eggs is the farm price.
