Recently, Iowa’s farmers and ranchers were slapped in the face by voters in California.

In 2018, California passed Proposition 12, an initiative that would place strict rules on how animals are housed before being sold in the state.

Chickens, cattle, hogs, sheep, turkeys and every other animal that is sold in California would have to undergo strict evaluation before the sale can be made. This kind of law unfairly hurts agriculture-heavy states like Iowa and consumers in California who will have to pay higher prices for meat.
