Healing Still Needed

Increasing retail pork prices might lead some Californians to regret their vote on Proposition 12. “I’m not sure that consumers have made the connection with what they’re seeing at the grocery store and what they voted on back in 2018,” said Scott Hays, past president, National Pork Producers Council. During World Pork Expo, Hays said producers are is having a bounce-back year. “It’s certainly a much different place than we were in a year ago. It’s great to have some black ink, but there’s a lot of healing that’s got to happen in the industry.”
