Pork producers say even with Prop 12 grace period, impact is uncertain

Some pork producers say there are still too many unanswered questions about the impact of California’s Proposition 12 law.

Nebraska Pork Producers Association President Mark Wright says consumer demand is a major unknown. “Will that demand in California be reduced and will we have extra pork in the other 49 states? That is yet to be seen.”

Speaking with Brownfield at the 2023 Nebraska Pork Expo, he said that consumers in California still want pork products.
