(NAFB) Pork and egg producers across the country will be watching Wednesday as the House Agriculture Committee holds a hearing on California’s Proposition 12. California voters passed Prop 12 in 2018 essentially banning the sale of conventionally raised pork and eggs in the state, forcing producers from coast to coast to modify their operations at considerable expense. Will Coggin, Research Director with the Center for Environment and Welfare, a Washington think tank, says other states could follow California’s lead.
Coggin says voters were misled by the ballot measure in 2018.
Producers, as well as California voters, have been waiting for Congress to take up the issue.
