BILLINGS â Twenty states agree with the North American Meat Instituteâs petition challenging the constitutionality of Californiaâs Proposition 12 (Prop 12). Montana farmers and ranchers are watching Prop 12 very closely because if allowed, it has the potential to affect ag operations in Big Sky country.
âCalifornia's Prop 12 has us concerned because they're trying to dictate how farmers and ranchers in other states can raise their animals,â said Custer rancher and Montana Farm Bureau Federation director Casey Mott.
