With the upcoming Farm Bill 2.0 review happening later this week, several agricultural-related organizations are voicing their opinions of what should be included in the bill. One organization in particular that has been very vocal for several months is the National Pork Producers Council. The NPPC is especially concerned about Proposition 12.
According to the NPPC resource website, California’s Proposition 12 is affecting America’s farm families and food affordability far beyond California. That’s why America’s pork producers are asking Congress to act and prevent one state from dictating how food and other products are produced nationwide. The Fix Prop 12 website, a page created by the NPPC for the purpose of answering Save Our Bacon Act questions, lists out several common consumer concerns, giving detailed responses.
With so much uncertainty of what will be to come from the Farm Bill 2.0, farmers, ranchers, and industry-related organizations are eager to know more from the coming legislative review.
