Minnesota Pork Producers

The Minnesota Pork Producers Association advocates for pig farmers and is a voice connecting them to St. Paul & Washington D.C. Tweet/Retweet not endoresement.

We had productive meetings with Representatives and Senators and their staff from Minnesota in Washington this week as part of @NPPC Fall Legislative Action Conference. Key issues include the e need for a Farm Bill, ag labor, trade, and MAHA. #NPPCLAC2025

[Congressman Brad Finstad @RepFinstad]

Prop 12 was dreamt up by folks that have never stepped foot on a hog farm, but have dictated the terms by which #MN01 farmers raise their pigs. I’m proud of the actions @HouseAgGOP has taken to move on fixing Prop 12, creating certainty for the industry, and allowing our world-class hog farmers to do what they do best without California’s politically-motivated mandates.

[Minnesota Pork Producers @MinnesotaPork]

Minnesota’s family farmers are being boxed out by regulations they never had a say in. Prop. 12 leaves them with two options: make costly changes or stop selling into key markets.

When one state tells the rest how to farm, consumers and family farmers pay the price.#FixProp12

[NPPC @NPPC]

Prop. 12 turns the meat aisle into a compliance nightmare. Precooked bacon is legal. Raw bacon isn’t.

Tomorrow, the House Ag Committee will hold a hearing on the chaotic impacts of Prop. 12—from higher costs for producers (and consumers!) to a strain on supply chains. #FixProp12

Strong trade partnerships are essential to the success of U.S. pork producers.

NPPC President Lori Stevermer spoke with @OfficialRFDTV about the importance of expanding market access and breaking down trade barriers. Watch a clip from the interview to hear more. #PorkPriorities

[NPPC @NPPC]

Today, NPPC President Lori Stevermer testified before the @HouseAgGOP's Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry regarding Prop. 12. California's Prop. 12 puts small and medium-sized family farms at risk. We have a chance to save them – but Congress must act to #FixProp12.

[Congressman Brad Finstad @RepFinstad]

Since 1974, Christensen Farms in Sleepy Eye has grown into one of the largest family-owned pork producers in the U.S., ranking in the top 10 nationwide. Today, I spoke on the House Floor recognizing the 50th anniversary of @CF_Farms and wished them many successful years ahead.

[NPPC @NPPC]

The @HouseAgGOP has released its full 2024 Farm Bill. Thanks to producer advocacy, 100% of NPPC's solutions to Prop. 12, foreign animal disease prevention, and market access enhancements are all included. The Committee will vote on the bill May 23.

[NPPC @NPPC]

Speaking last week at a @HouseAgGOP @HouseAgDems subcommittee hearing, NPPC President-Elect Lori Stevermer was clear: the U.S. needs more comprehensive trade agreements that eliminate or significantly reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers to U.S. exports.

[NPPC @NPPC]

Statement from NPPC president Scott Hays on today's Supreme Court opinion on California Proposition 12:

[Minnesota Pork Producers @MinnesotaPork]

We’re proud to have a strong advocate in @SenAmyKlobuchar for ag labor, trade, and animal health. We look forward to continuing to work with you on these issues important to rural Minnesota.

[Minnesota Pork Producers @MinnesotaPork]

Thanks for taking the time to talk about Farm Bill and animal disease preparedness and response, @SenTinaSmith. We appreciate your leadership in ensuring we can protect the health of our animals in the next Farm Bill. #TeamPork
