Few wartime posters ask American farmers to think about eggs, and this one states the request plainly: allies overseas need them, and your farm can help. The appeal belongs to the broader food production drive of the Second World War, when Washington urged farms to raise output under programs such as the Food for Freedom campaign. Dried eggs were among the staples shipped to Britain and the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. The gallery files it under dairy cows, but the message speaks to the poultry yard as much as the barn, a reminder that wartime planners expected every farm to contribute.
