An Iowa pork producer frustrated by Proposition 12 suggests California voters got it wrong.
Jim Boyer operates a wean-to-finish hog operation in northwest Iowa and says California’s Prop 12, which establishes livestock confinement standards, takes choice away from consumers.
“So if there’s a consumer in California who wants to eat a pork chop that was pasture-raised and fed organic corn, I guarantee there are plenty of producers in the state of Iowa that are willing to fill that niche.”
As a commodity producer, Boyer tells Brownfield he’s bringing pork to the market for low-income families in the U.S.
