Max Armstrong reports on the return of deadly bird flu in the United States. He notes biosecurity is strong for the industry, but backyard chicken flocks and wild birds can spread highly pathogenic avian influenza, which has returned. It's pushing up egg prices, and has hit some key egg producing states from the East across the Midwest. The disease is not human threat, but can be devastating to flocks.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
