California’s Proposition 12 is affecting America’s farm families and food affordability far beyond California. That’s why America’s pork producers are asking Congress to act and prevent one state from dictating how food and other products are produced nationwide.
What’s Really at Stake?
- Not animal welfare
- Not foreign interests
This website is a resource from the National Pork Producers Council, a farmer-led organization representing over 60,000 U.S. pork producers. NPPC is governed by America’s pork producers, and our board is made up of American farmers elected by American farmers to represent the interests of American pork producers.
Here you’ll find the facts about Proposition 12, what’s really at stake if Save Our Bacon isn’t included in the Farm Bill, and why Congress should act to protect American agriculture.
Let’s fix Prop 12 before one state’s arbitrary law – rather than actual animal care grounded in veterinary science – becomes everyone’s problem.
“[PROP 12] is not just affecting California. It’s affecting multitudes of other states, multitudes of other parts of the ag community, including our hog family farms.”
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Prop 12
“If we don’t take this seriously, we’re going to have chaos in the marketplace.”
Former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on Prop 12
