It’s #WorldTradeMonth—and trade is critical to U.S. pork. Exports support producers, rural economies, and global demand. Maintaining market access is essential to industry growth. More from Shannon McMurtrey in @FJ_PORK: porkbusiness.com/news/trade-mon…. #USPork #AgTrade #PorkExports

The data is clear: Prop. 12 has raised pork prices for CA families. Same market. Same inflation. Same supply chains. Sausage products exempt from Prop. 12 saw little change in CA prices. Covered pork products like bacon, ribs, loins rose 16-32%. Consumers are paying the price.

NPPC thanks @RepAshleyHinson for standing with America’s pork producers and helping move the House Farm Bill forward. From fighting for a federal fix to Proposition 12 to supporting family farms, Rep. Hinson continues to be a strong voice for agriculture: nppc.org/news/americas-…

Two years in, Prop. 12 hasn’t “adapted” the market. It’s reshaped it. Small producers face pressure, consumers pay more, and compliant supply remains limited. When only large operations can absorb the costs, that’s not success—it’s consolidation. Visit FixProp12.com.

Happy Mother’s Day to the livestock-lovin’ mamas helping power U.S. agriculture. From early mornings in the barn to raising future agricultural leaders, your hard work, resilience, and leadership help keep America’s pork industry strong. Thank you for everything you do!

Prop. 12 isn’t just one state’s policy—it impacts producers nationwide. Arbitrary mandates + conflicting laws = higher costs and more uncertainty. Congress must act to #FixProp12. Read more about last month’s fly-in on Capitol Hill: farms.com/ag-industry-ne….

Prop. 12 is fragmenting supply chains and raising food costs. Conflicting state mandates hurt producers—especially smaller farms. Congress is the right place to fix it. #FixProp12

AI is transforming pork production. From early disease detection to smarter barn management, new technology is helping producers improve animal care and efficiency. Innovation is key to a stronger, more resilient pork industry. From @FJ_Pork: porkbusiness.com/news/trough-te…

"It’s time to #FixProp12 in the Farm Bill to preserve interstate commerce and bring regulatory certainty to all pork producers." - NPPC President and Iowa Pig Farmer Rob Brenneman #FarmBill @IowaPork

Prop. 12 drives up production costs—and consumers feel it at the store. Higher costs + supply disruptions = less affordable food. Fixing Prop. 12 helps producers and families alike. #FixProp12

States can regulate farming within their borders—but not across the country. Prop. 12 creates conflicting rules, fragmented markets, and higher costs. Congress must restore clarity to interstate commerce. #FixProp12

Reminder: Declare all agricultural products, including meat, when entering the US (go.dhs.gov/Zia). @CBP K9 Merla detected undeclared pork products, helping protect animal health & US ag. These canine teams are critical to keep US pork safe & markets open. #ProtectPork

Animal care should be guided by science—not one-size-fits-all mandates. Prop. 12 takes decisions away from farmers and adds costly uncertainty. We need a better approach. #FixProp12

Today kicks off #WorldTradeMonth! Trade is essential to #USpork. Strong trade and market access policies fuel rural economies, support US jobs, and expand global demand for American pork. NPPC proudly advocates to keep markets open and barriers low: nppc.org/pork-industry-….

On Monday, NPPC joined @NAFB in DC for Washington Watch, where leadership completed 15 interviews reaching ~1,000 affiliates across 20 states. Farm broadcasters are essential to American agriculture. Take a look at a few moments from the event. #NAFBWW26

America’s pork producers celebrate House passage of the #FarmBill: nppc.org/news/americas-…. Thanks to @CongressmanGT and @RepAshleyHinson for their leadership and support—delivering a bill that includes a #FixProp12 solution and key ag priorities. Now it’s the Senate’s turn.

Prop. 12 is creating uncertainty for pork producers and raising costs across the supply chain. Congress has a role to restore regulatory clarity. It’s time for a fix. #FixProp12 🎥 Video credit: @HouseAgGOP

Animal care should be guided by animal science and veterinary and pork producer expertise, grounded in the day-to-day care of animals, not one-size-fits-all mandates. Pork producers are calling for a federal fix to prevent a patchwork of state mandates. #FixProp12
