Let me Google that for you ...
This came from a known fake news site, Gateway Pundit:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/one-largest-egg-factories-us-torched-middle-night-amid-outbreak-fires-food-processing-facilities-across-nation/
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-gateway-pundit/
Notably, an article they link to does not attempt to characterize it as arson or a vast conspiracy (that spin is left to Gateway Pundit and its right wing conspiracy site ilk):

Here's another article indicating no evidence of arson:

[quote]This fire did not halt operations at the Howard Lake farm where the blaze occurred, and they have five additional facilities in the Midwest. The Wright County sheriff's office gave an early estimate that about 200,000 chickens were killed in the fire.
The post claims that Forsman Farm is one of the "largest egg factories in US." Another Facebook post suggests that the fire in one of the Forsman barns destroyed the farm's entire egg production and could impact the nation's egg supply. It's true Forsman Farms is a very large commercial egg producer -- the company website says they sell over 3 million eggs a day -- but they are not near the top of the list of egg farms in terms of the size of their egg laying flock.[/quote]
It's strange that you would post this under "Government" ...
