National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) President Duane Stateler, a pork producer from McComb, Ohio, released the following statement on the reconciliation package that passed the U.S. House of Representatives.
“America’s pork producers are one step closer to more certainty with the House’s reconciliation bill passage, which includes necessary legislation to keep farms afloat during uncertain times. At the same time, we will keep pressure on Congress to pass a five-year farm bill, which includes a fix to California Proposition 12.”
NPPC urges the Senate to advance the following provisions to ensure pork producers can continue to farm and have more certainty to pass down their farms to the next generation
