But one organization strives to represent all of their interests, and advocate on their behalf at the highest levels of government. Chad Gregory is the President and CEO of the United Egg Producers (UEP), an organization that represents over 90% of US egg farmers. The UEP provides a forum where producers big and small can debate important topics, and shape the policies that ultimately impact how they do business. Chad came on the show just a few days after the State of the Union address, and for the second year running, President Trump referenced the egg industry directly. Today, we get into what the President said, the UEP's ongoing efforts to get an HPAI vaccine approved, and how they've responded to ongoing pressure from animal rights groups. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Aucz1MN1EQRKspXWBjkV9tO3Om_oi1lGkPvsJPYDvcc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMTIw/OTEzNTEyYzc0ODEx/MTNjZDdmZTU0MzU4/YzljNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
