The National Pork Producers Council reviewed farm policy during a forum at World Pork Expo. NPPC President Lori Stevermer likes what she sees in the House Agriculture Committee farm bill. “Everything that we asked for we got,” said Stevermer. “Whether it was continued funding for our animal health three-legged stool, funding for market development programs for exports and even a federal solution to Prop 12.” Stevermer said pork producers are fighters, especially when it comes to regulations. “As producers, iif it directly impacts our livelihood we want to fight for that freedom to operate.” Stevermer farms at Easton, Minnesota.
