Farmfest has begun, and the pork industry is preparing for changes. A California law is driving these changes, which involve crating requirements. The law in question is Proposition 12, and efforts to overturn it in the Senate have been unsuccessful.

As a result, the focus has shifted to finding ways to comply with the new regulations. Further information on Proposition 12 and its implications for the pork industry can be found through the Star Tribune, which is covering the developments as Farmfest gets underway in Minnesota.
