AFBF blasts ‘harmful’ Prop 12

A leader with the American Farm Bureau Federation says he’s concerned about the ramifications of California’s Proposition 12 law.

Joby Young is AFBF’s executive vice president and says, “When a state is able to pass a law in its borders that mandates production practices, whether it’s a protein product or an agriculture product or a product in any industry, that can lead to a lot of complications for interstate commerce.”

Prop 12 mandates minimum housing standards for pork that would be sold in California.
