If you look at this image of US egg production in 2016, it seems to roughly match up with the image on the Eggspensive site: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hans-Windhorst/publication/327178248/figure/fig1/AS:662759704363012@1535025635649/Egg-production-in-the-USA-at-state-level-2016-Design-A-Veauthier.png https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hans-Windhorst/publicat...
- shawabawa3 4y agoThat could be because the Midwest has one of the biggest agriculture industries in the world, so eggs have less distance to travel
