Bacon Bill Threatens Iowa’s Small Farms | Omaha News

Big agricultural groups support it, claiming it’ll protect family farmers from out-of-state animal welfare regulations like California’s Proposition 12. But independent farmers fear it will accelerate the decline of small operations by eliminating their ability to compete on quality — forcing everyone to race down a price-only path. With elections looming, these farmers are urging voters to weigh in before November, saying this legislation could reshape Iowa’s farming future.
