I'd look into the prviders and the people forced into providing for these companies.In the US, and happening more now in the UK, they unit cost are hammered down so much they farmholders are forced to sell their land, the lands are bought up by the comglomerates and then the landowners are made sub-miniums wages empoloyees on their own lands.

There are ways for farmers to do alright(Although farming is just weird anyway from a free enterprise point of view due to to subsidies and shit.)
My Asda sells locally produced eggs, which I always buy, for reasons which escape me (I guess I've been successfully marketed to by brand image). And there are all the niche strategies for making a farm into a successful business by selling something unique. If you're just churning out the same old butter* as everybody else then you don't really deserve to make money, since you aren't doing anything special.
...anyway I have to go and watch some horror films now, see you later.
*yes I know that would probably be made in an industrial dairy rather than a farm, unless it was really classy butter, but I left it in for rhetoric.

You're confusing locally sourced eggs withlevel of wages regardsless to quality.
If the quality is shite thewqages will be less.
