Rembrandt Foods egg farm could be single largest operation hit by bird flu

The bird flu has struck an egg-laying operation in Iowa owned by prominent Minnesota businessman Glen Taylor, and it could be the single largest casualty yet of the lethal virus sweeping the Upper Midwest poultry industry.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture said Thursday that there was an initial positive test at an egg-laying operation in northwestern Iowa with an estimated 5.5 million birds. Rembrandt Enterprises, one of the nation’s largest egg producers, confirmed the operation is its Rembrandt, Iowa, facility.

Taylor owns Rembrandt, as well as the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Star Tribune.
