Item 2.	Identity and Background.

(a), (b), and (c) This statement is jointly filed by the following persons in the capacities indicated (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

i. Fred R. Adams, Jr. (“Mr. Adams”), through the Conservatorship described below, by Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker as co-conservators.

ii. Jean Reed Adams, aka Jean Morris Adams (“Mrs. Adams), individually, which also reflects shares held by her husband, Mr. Adams, and as: 1. co-trustee of the Jean Reed Adams Trust (“Mrs. Adams’ Revocable Trust”), and 2. co-trustee of the Fred R. Adams, Jr. Daughters’ Trust (“Daughters’ Revocable Trust”).

iii. Adolphus B. Baker (“Mr. Baker”), individually, which also reflects shares held by his spouse Dinnette Adams Baker (“Mrs. Baker”), and as 1. co-trustee of Mrs. Adams’ Revocable Trust, 2. co-trustee of the Daughters’ Revocable Trust and 3. sole managing member of DLNL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Daughters’ LLC”).

The Reporting Persons are acting as a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

The address of each Reporting Person’s principal office is Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., P.O. Box 2960, Jackson, Mississippi 39207. Mr. Adams is Chairman Emeritus of the Issuer and is the settlor of Mrs. Adams’ Revocable Trust and the Daughters’ Revocable Trust. Mrs. Adams is a private investor and spouse of Mr. Adams. Mr. Baker is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and the husband of Mrs. Baker, a daughter of Mr. Adams who is a contingent remainder beneficiary under the Daughters’ Revocable Trust. Mr. Baker is the managing member and Mrs. Baker and the Daughters’ Revocable Trust are non-managing members of the Daughters’ LLC.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) during the past five years.

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws during the past five years.

(f) Each of the Reporting Persons is a United States citizen.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

See Item 4.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

As previously disclosed, on November 7, 2011, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker were appointed by a court order to act as co-conservators of the person and estate of Mr. Adams (the “Conservatorship”). Mrs. Adams is the spouse of Mr. Adams and Mr. Baker is the son-in-law of Mr. Adams. As a result of the appointment, in their

- 5 -




	SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 128030202	SCHEDULE 13D	Page 6	of 11 pages

capacities as co-conservators for Mr. Adams, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker jointly exercise voting power over the shares of Mr. Adams set forth in the table in Item 5 hereof. While Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker also share dispositive power over certain of Mr. Adams’ shares, disposition of such shares may require court approval in accordance with Mississippi conservatorship laws. The appointment of the conservators occurred by a court order. Accordingly, no consideration was paid by the conservators.

An Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), effective June 4, 2018, was entered into among Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker (each individually and as co-conservator of the co-conservatorship of Mr. Adams), and other members of the family (“MOU”). Pursuant thereto, as of July 20, 2018, the Reporting Persons entered into several instruments and agreements contemplated by the MOU (“Agreements”) with respect to certain transactions to be effected by Mr. Adams and his family to facilitate certain estate planning matters (“Transactions”). The Transactions are described in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement as filed with the SEC on June 25, 2018 (“Proxy Statement”).

As described in the Proxy Statement, the Transactions included amendments to and a restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (as so amended and restated, the “Restated Charter”), of the Company, to (i) change the restrictions on who may hold shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with 10 votes per share, without conversion into Common Stock, with one vote per share, and make certain other change negotiated with a special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as described in the Proxy Statement, and (ii) update certain provision that are out-of-date, obsolete or inoperative and to correct one typographical error. Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker voted FOR the proposals to approve such amendments in all of their capacities.

As described in the Proxy Statement, the Restated Charter facilitates estate planning for the Company’s founder and Chairman Emeritus, Mr. Adams.

As previously disclosed, the Restated Charter was approved by shareholders at a special meeting on July 20, 2018 and was filed and became effective on July 20, 2018. As a result of shareholder approval and the filing and effectiveness of the Restated Charter, there were no further conditions to effect the transfers of shares to the trusts and limited liability company as described in the Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, the transfers of shares to the trusts and limited liability company as described in the Proxy Statement were completed as of August 14, 2018. In addition, the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement described in the MOU also effected the share exchange as of such date, rather than after the death Mr. Adams as contemplated by the MOU. Accordingly, this Schedule 13D/A reports beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons reflecting such share transfers and share exchange. Following all such transactions, the Company continues to be controlled by Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly as co-trustees of revocable trusts and through the limited liability company.

Following the death of Mr. Adams and upon the completion of all transactions as contemplated, there will be a change in control of the Company from Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly, to Mr. Baker, acting individually and as the sole Managing Member of the limited liability company. After the completion of all such transactions, Mr. Baker will obtain sole voting power over 100% of the Class A Common Stock, currently representing 52.3% of the total voting power of the Company’s capital stock (without considering shares of Common Stock over which Mr. Baker will also have voting power due to ownership or other arrangements). Accordingly, following all of the transactions as contemplated, Mr. Baker will have control of a majority of the voting power of the Company through his sole voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
