U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley shared his thoughts on the Exposing Agricultural Trade Suppression Act with KCII News, “It deals with a California law passed a few years ago but just now taking effect, in which California said that you can’t sell pork in California unless your sow crates are at least twenty-four square feet. Iowa is number one in pork of the fifty states, California is fifteen percent of it, and we can’t let California people that know nothing of animal agriculture tell us how to treat our animals, and they forget that the farmers themselves have to treat their animals right if they expect to make a profit.  This bill restricts state and local governments from imposing certain standards or conditions on the production or manufacture of agricultural products sold or offered for sale in interstate commerce
