News from the farm

Hickmans Family Farms helps reuse plastic and avoids supply chain problems. Since the start of the pandemic, Hickman’s Family Farms has been working to counteract supply chain issues through a new venture. They wanted to find a way to reduce waste while packaging their eggs faster, so they dove into the world of recycling plastics.

At Union Pacific, we take pride in offering one of the safest, most fuel-efficient, environmentally responsible modes of freight transportation.

The initial barn at an African egg farm would produce about 25,000 dz eggs per year, need only 2 people. At 300 eggs per person consumption, 1000 people would be fed annually. That’s a pretty good ratio of work to results.

From 1960 to 2010, per kilogram of eggs produced the environmental footprint was 71% lower in greenhouse gas emissions and 31% lower in cumulative energy demand.

Today, Hickman’s Family Farms donated 54,000 eggs to @StMarysFoodBank, which will provide nutritious meals to our neighbors in need. We are proud to join America’s egg farmers and @IncredibleEgg in a nationwide effort this spring to provide 5.5 million eggs to hungry families.
