Feenstra Issues Statement Expressing Disappointment in Supreme Court Decision Not to Hear Case against California’s Proposition 12

HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement expressing his disappointment in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the Iowa Pork Producers’ case against California’s Proposition 12:

“I am very disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court decided against hearing the Iowa Pork Producers’ case against California’s Proposition 12. This mandate on Iowa hog farmers increases pork prices for families, makes hog farming needlessly more expensive, harms our rural communities, and threatens our food security,” said Rep. Feenstra. “Last year, my Republican colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee and I passed a Farm Bill that overturned Prop 12. I remain committed to getting a new, five-year Farm Bill signed into law that repeals Prop 12 and delivers certainty and clarity for our hog farmers.”
