Farm groups were in Washington, D.C. this past week, stressing the importance of getting a farm bill done this year. “It’s vitally important for us as pork producers,” said Lori Stevermer, president, National Pork Producers Council. “It addresses Prop 12 and a legislative fix to that potential patchwork of 48 states having different regulations would be detrimental to our industry.” Stevermer is calling on legislative leaders to get their work on the farm bill done this year.
