Important Amendment Included in Farm Bill

US - An amendment to the Farm Bill, recently passed, is aimed to prevent barriers to the free movement of animal products between states. Citing the example of Proposition 2 in California which permits the sale of only free-range eggs in the state from 2014, Congressman King's amendment will prevent states from introducing rules on production that put the same heavy burden on producers from other states who sell their goods there.
