Agriculture Industry Opposes California’s Prop 12
Tuesday Apr 20th, 2021
Twenty states are in agreement of the North American Meat Institute’s petition challenging the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 12 (Prop 12).
Farmers and ranchers are watching Prop 12 very closely because if allowed, it has the potential to affect ag operations here in Big Sky country.
“California's Prop 12 has us concerned because they're trying to dictate how farmers and ranchers in other states can raise their animals,” said Custer rancher and Montana Farm Bureau Federation Director Casey Mott.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen says farmers and ranchers deal with too many regulations as it is without California trying to extend its power into other states.
