The National Pork Producers Council is engaged in multiple battles across the U.S., citing key concerns over labor, trade, and the impact of the current administration's "Make America Healthy Again" initiative.

A major concern is the proliferation of state-level animal housing regulations, led by California’s Proposition 12, which mandates specific space requirements for breeding pigs and other animals. It's influencing laws in other states like Oklahoma and Massachusetts. 

Lucy Russell, NPPC's director of producer engagement, says the organization is pushing for a legislative fix in the next Farm Bill to prevent a costly patchwork of conflicting regulations.
