Gets labeled depending on its origin. Common practice in the u. S. For quite some time. Now however the World Trade Organization is enforcing tariffs on u. S products in reponse to the law. Something local pork producers think is a big problem. Sot anytime they are going to impose tariffs on our product its going to hurt us in the long run. Its going to hurt everybody in this local area. It cost the u. S. Livestock industry billions of dollars to implement labeling laws. Trade agreements with two of its largest export partner. Mexico and canada were violated and the laws had no effect on price or demand. Canda and mexico can impose more than 1 billion dollars of retaliatory tariffs and this is the fourth time the wto said that cool violates trade obligations. Sot every meeting wie discuss this. Basically nothing got done. Which is pretty frustrating because we knew we were going to didnt get it repealed. Nats hogs and farmers are not just concerned about the price of the pork itself. Bills need to be paid. Transportation is expensive and animals have to be kept safe in proper enviroments. Sot this facility cost around half a Million Dollars to built. Pork prices are as low as they have been in 6 years and while the nsumer might have an advantage. Producers are worried. Sot its like taking a guy when he is down and kicking him. Price is already lower and the tariffs are just gonna push the prices lower. There really is no winner. Maybe the consumer will get some cheaper product. But as far as the Agricultural Producer there is really no win. Industry groups were succesful in the house lobbying for the repeal. The senate however stays put and has not acted. Its a waiting game. A game that could cost iowa pork producers dearly. Jenna donald trump is looking to expand his lead with iowa voters.
