### Some bad eggs ruining Oklahoma egg stands’ honor system

As egg prices continue to break the bank, some locals are resorting to breaking the rules.

> TALKED TO ONE LOCAL FARMER WHO IS FEELING THE IMPACTS. LOCAL EGG STANDS LIKE THIS ONE AND MORE HAVE RUN ON RESPECT FOR DECADES. BUT WITH EGG PRICES SOARING AND DEMAND GETTING EXTREMELY HIGH, LOCAL STANDS HAVE HAD TO INCREASE THEIR SECURITY MEASURES. AT THE LOST CREEK URBAN FARM STAND. THE RULES ARE PRETTY CLEAR AND WHILE EVERYONE TAKES THEIR EGGS DIFFERENTLY, SOME PEOPLE JUST STRAIGHT UP TAKE THEM. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THE EGGS, YOU KNOW. HE TOOK FOUR CARTONS OF EGGS. ARE JUST, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, A COSTLY CRIME PLAYED OUT ON FARMER ERIC GOFORTH’S RING CAMERA THIS WEEK. WATCH AS THIS MAN STEALS 48 EGGS FROM THEIR SELF-SERVE STAND. AND WHILE IT MIGHT NOT BE THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY, IN TIMES LIKE THIS, EVERY EGG MATTERS. YOU KNOW, TO GET THE END PRODUCT STOLEN, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THAT’S ALL YOUR PROFIT. WITH THE RECENT RISE IN BIRD FLU, DEMAND AND COSTS HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER. SPIKING COSTS IN EVERY STEP. EGGS MAKE FROM THE CHICKEN TO YOUR PLATE. YOU HAVE A LOT IN FEED. AND YOU. YOU DO HAVE A LOT THAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR BEFORE YOU EVEN SELL EGGS. GOFORTH SAYS THIS IS A BATTLE. HIMSELF AND OTHER FARMERS HAVE FOUGHT BEFORE, BUT IN THIS ECONOMY, IT’S HARD TO IGNORE. TO BE ON THE HONOR SYSTEM. I MEAN, IT JUST IT MAKES EVERYTHING EFFICIENT. BUT GOFORTH SAYS A FEW BAD EGGS WON’T RUIN HIS STAND. YOU KNOW, HAVING A LOSS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT’S IT’S STILL WORTH, YOU KNOW, TRUSTING PEOPLE. SO NOW CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR EGGS WITH A SIDE OF SURVEILLANCE AND AN EXTRA ORDER OF INSTRUCTIONS. YOU KNOW, I MIGHT CHANGE MY SIGN AND MAKE IT MORE CLEAR. YOU KNOW, SURF, SELF-SERVE, MAYBE. MAYBE IT NEEDS TO SAY SELF-CHECK
