NPPC not ready to throw in the towel on stalls just yet

You can add General Mills and Marriott International to the list of food companies calling for the elimination of gestation stalls. 

That brings to more than 50 the number of companies that have made such announcements. 

But the pork industry is not ready to throw in the towel on stalls just yet.  At this week’s Iowa Pork Producers Association annual meeting in Des Moines, we discussed the issue with John Weber, a producer from Dysart, Iowa and a member of the National Pork Producers Council board of directors. 

Weber also talked about NPPC’s opposition to the egg bill in Congress and speculation that supporters may attempt to include the legislation in the next farm bill.
