Leadership at the Missouri Pork Association is expressing satisfaction with provisions targeting California’s Proposition 12 that have been incorporated into the House Agriculture Committee’s most recent farm bill proposal. Scott Hays, who serves as the organization’s executive director, shared his optimism with Brownfield regarding the potential legislative remedy.
“It looks like we might finally get our day in Congress to try and get a fix in for this problem,” Hays stated when discussing the farm bill language.
The inclusion of this provision represents what industry advocates view as a significant step toward addressing regulatory challenges they face from California’s animal welfare requirements.
