On May 11, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld California’s new humane-pork law, Proposition 12, in a 5-4 decision, choosing not to accept the challenge by the National Pork Producers Council and American Farm Bureau Federation.
Since the decision, the pork industry has been filled with a number of questions and unknowns about how California’s Prop 12 law might impact producers across the nation.
To help bring clarity to the recent ruling and how it may impact stakeholders across the pork supply chain, Jennifer Shike, editor of Farm Journal’s PORK, and industry experts will discuss the Proposition 12 ruling in an upcoming Farm Country Update on June 1.
Joining Shike, the following expert panelists will share their thoughts from a variety of viewpoints and roles in pork production:
• Scott Hays, president of NPPC
• Lee Schulz, economist at Iowa State University
• Josh Trenary, executive director of Indiana Pork Producers Association
