NPPC continues to push for federal Prop 12 solution

The National Pork Producers Council continues to push for a federal solution to Proposition 12. 

NPPC immediate past president Lori Stevermer says Prop 12 has been a prominent issue the entire time she’s served on the national board.

“Regardless of what you’ve done with your farm and who you talk to, the big concern is the patchwork of regulations that would come if there’s not some type of a federal preemption to Prop 12.”

Speaking to Brownfield at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, the Minnesota pork producer says House Ag Committee Chair Glenn GT Thompson remains optimistic about a Prop 12 fix.

“Chairman Thompson is still hopeful for a farm bill, even if it’s a skinny farm bill. So I think as long as there’s still an opportunity for a farm bill on the horizon, we’re going to keep talking about it.”
