Chuck Grassley: What coastal elites don’t get about California’s Prop 12 - The Washington Post

Regarding Kathleen Parker’s May 31 column, “Congress has a cruelty problem”:

California’s Proposition 12 overstepped constitutional boundaries and blacklisted pig farmers from selling to 15 percent of the nation’s pork market. As a lifelong family farmer, it’s clear to me that coastal elites from Massachusetts to California don’t understand how to safely bring to market wholesome pork from farrow to finish, or how to efficiently produce enough eggs to feed a nation of 342 million people. Neither do Beltway pundits.
