Estherville, IA (KICD)– An egg-processing facility known as Estherville Foods is expanding its capacity. Sonstegard Foods Corporate Engineering Manager David Sutherland says they added farms as a back-up during covid; but now ALL of those locations are producing, and the plant can’t handle all of the eggs that arrive daily.

To date the company has not received any financial assistance for the project, but IS requesting some tax breaks from the state of Iowa for the expansion.

Sutherland hopes the third line can be operating by next spring. The city of Estherville and Iowa DOT is cooperating to reroute traffic during some phases of construction.
