American Farm Bureau and the National Pork Producers Council challenged California’s Proposition 12 in the Supreme Court Tuesday.  The case involves a law passed in 2018 that bans the sale of pork from hogs that don’t meet the state’s arbitrary production standards, even if the hogs were raised outside of California.  American Farm Bureau Deputy General Counsel Travis Cushman says the law is unconstitutional.  Cushman says small hog farmers won’t be able to comply with the California law.  Now, the Supreme Court justices will consider their opinion on the case.
