Kansas State Ag Economist Glynn Tonsor says it’s unclear how the implementation of Proposition 12 will impact the pork industry.
“Whether it responds to just changes in California, or if it proceeds to change a bigger share of the industry than would just need to be adjusted to meet the population base in California versus the rest of the country, is still uncertain,” he says.
Under the ballot initiative, pork sold in California must be raised under strict guidelines.
