Pork producers have had the longest time to comply. So far, that fight has been a waste of time that pork producers could have better spent figuring out how to reconfigure their farms. There are pig farms here in the state, but most of the pork eaten in California is brought in from elsewhere. Under the new law, all California producers as well as out-of-state producers who sell pork to California can no longer keep sows in cramped gestation crates that literally don’t allow them to stand up and turn around. Trade associations representing pork producers have sued the state, but so far they have been rebuffed by the federal courts.
