Long time Ag reporter, Dave Dickey, takes a look at California's Proposition 12
A couple of federal court cases working their way through California's appellate system spell big trouble for Big-Meat.
Most recently the North American Meat Institute was slam dunked sideways by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on its effort to stop California Prop 12 from going into effect.
California voters said not only must in-state farmers raise calves, pigs, and chickens in a humane way, but that out-of-state Big Meat and Egg producers must also meet Prop 12 standards in order to sell shelled and liquid eggs, uncooked pork from breeding pigs and veal from calves to California wholesales and retailers.
