Pork producers say farm bill ignores Prop 12 concerns
Iowa and Minnesota pork producers express deep disappointment as Senate Democrats release a draft farm bill that omits California Prop 12 language. The bill faces slow action with deficits in hog markets, rising costs, and fears of market losses without a fix for the confinement rule. The package proposes billions for price supports, nutrition, rural health, and conservation, while timing debates loom over a possible year-end extension and a 2025 five year bill.
