Through the years, John- son, who earned a bachelor's in psychology from Simpson College, said she's built a loyal customer base, and her shop has allowed her to live in Red Bluff, where she was born and raised. "Red Bluff is not the eas- iest place to make a living in," Johnson said. "And to be able to support myself and live here as long as I have — I'm very grateful." Looking forward, John- son's New Year's resolution for her business includes im- proving on self-promotion, which is something she said she has struggled with. "That is so hard for me," Johnson said. "I probably don't appreciate my talent because I've just always had the knack." WhileJohnsonsaidthe25- year milestone wasn't neces- sarily on her mind when she started working for herself, the thought that she couldn't reach that mark didn't cross her mind either because of her passion for the work. Retirement, also, may be a ways away. "I only envision myself closing up here if I moved away," she said. "Because I've been here so long and peo- ple know that I'm here and I couldn't tell them no if they asked me to do something." WeSew4Uisat15365Sky- line Dr. in Red Bluff. Sew FROM PAGE 1 To comply, farmers have to put fewer hens into each cage or invest in revamped henhouses, passing along the expense to consumers shopping at grocery stores. California is the nation's largest consumer of eggs and imports about one- third of its supply. Jim Dean, president and CEO of Centrum Valley Farms in Iowa and Ohio, said one of his buildings that holds 1.5 million hens is now about half full to meet California's standards, and another building may have to be completely over- hauled. Farmers like him in cold climates will have to install heaters to replace warmth formerly generated by the chickens living close to- gether. Dean said that's something people in sunny California didn't consider. "You're talking about millions upon millions of dollars," he said. "It's not anything that's cheap or that can be modified easily, not in the Midwest." California voters in 2008 approved the law backed by animal rights advo- cates to get egg-laying hens out of cramped cages and put them by Jan. 1, 2015, in larger enclosures that give them room to stretch, turn around and flap their wings. State legislators followed with the companion piece in 2010 requiring the out- of-state compliance. In anticipation, egg prices have already risen, said Dave Heylen of the Cal- ifornia Grocers Association, adding that the holiday sea- son, cold weather across the country and increased ex- ports to Mexico and Canada also contributed to a year- end price spike. He said he expected that supplies would remain adequate to meet demand. Daniel Sumner, an agri- cultural economist at the University of California, Davis, said prices initially could rise dramatically this year but he expects them to eventually settle anywhere from 10 and 40 percent higher in California and re- turn to their normal price elsewhere in the country. If farmers cut back the number of chickens so they can comply with Califor- nia's cage law, Sumner said that could reduce the num- ber of eggs available. "When there's that much uncertainty, I'm thinking there may be some disrup- tion in the market," he said. Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane So- ciety of the United States, said he believes the costs to consumers will be min- imal and worth it for the welfare of chickens, which provide enough eggs for each person to consume on average 250 a year. For de- cades, he said, farmers have crammed six to eight chick- ens in small cages without room to move. "This is the last bastion of cage confinement in in- dustrial ag," said Pacelle, whose organization led the reforms. Starbucks in De- cember said it will elimi- nate the sale of eggs from caged hens, he said, follow- ing the lead of Burger King and Whole Foods. The California Depart- ment of Food and Agri- culture, independent of the voter initiative, im- plemented rules that give chickens 70 percent more room, which Pacelle said is better but not enough. Low-income people who rely on eggs as an econom- ical source of protein may be hurt the worst by Califor- nia's cage law, says a report this week by the Egg In- dustry Center at Iowa State University. Anticipating a 15 percent increase, the cost of a dozen eggs could rise by 27 cents, and a family of four could pay $15.93 more a year, the report says. California has prevailed in lawsuits, including six from major egg-producing states that argued the state is dictating market prices in other states in violation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Appeals are pending. Ken Klippen of the Na- tional Association of Egg Farmers said California's egg law, in addition to driving up the cost at the grocery store and putting pressure on egg supplies, will result in more inju- ries to chickens because housing them in larger pens means they are more likely to run, breaking a leg or wing. "You're not going to help the chicken," he said. "You're not helping con- sumers." Eggs FROM PAGE 1 beadadtoday.
