Edit: actually some of these numbers seem literally impossible, e.g. Vermont. Can you post the raw data you’re getting this from?
Edit 2: after trying to find the data myself, I think at least in some instances you’re interpreting some of the data as dozens of eggs, when they actually are counting individual eggs. So some of your numbers are 12x higher than they should be.

A church friend who owns chickens just asked me if that includes eggs laid by people’s backyard chickens! I told her probably not.

Does ND produce and export a lot of eggs?

You have to add “annually” or else we are comparing a rate with different units to a count.

Clearly I am under producing.

This chart is wrong. Here’s the (non-population-adjusted) data, and some quick mental arithmetic demonstrates you have some errors.
Im from ND and I love how we’re number one on all the weird stats. Most eggs per person, most bars per person, least amount of young adults living with their parents.

They need to cross-reference this with the number of eggs eaten per person by state for contextÂ

Notes:
Annual estimates
State-level aggregation

Eggs are produced by chickens, not people
