Why are eggs so expensive right now?!

Question: The reason Egg prices are on the rise is the increase in corn prices. The principal ingredient in chicken feed is corn. Transportation may be slightly higher due to fuel costs but it is a small part of the increase. With the corn and soybean prices increasing monthly because of new ethanol plants, which will use 70% of the nations corn supply once they are all completed, Egg prices could eventually hit $4 Dozen, not to mention what pork and beef prices are gonna do.
