I’m pushing additional policies that would boost the farm economy for years to come... These items include a fix to California’s disastrous Proposition 12 that’s hurting Iowa pork producers and driving up costs for families

Grassley said he is pushing a Proposition 12 fix in the farm bill or another must-pass legislative vehicle.

Evidence

S. 1326 was introduced on April 8, 2025 by Sen. Joni Ernst for herself, Mr. Grassley and others, then read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The bill would prevent state and local jurisdictions from interfering with production and distribution of agricultural products in interstate commerce and bar state or local standards on preharvest production occurring in another state.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Grassley took concrete same-term legislative action by cosponsoring S.1326, a bill aimed at blocking state agricultural production mandates like Proposition 12. The bill text and status show introduction and committee referral, not enactment, so this supports partial progress on the commitment rather than a completed legislative fix.

Grassley said the Senate Agriculture Committee did not advance the Farm Bill after every Democrat on the committee voted no, that he and Sen. Ernst voted to advance it, and that he would continue fighting to get the Farm Bill to the president's desk, including efforts to fix Proposition 12.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The latest located official Grassley update before the Aug. 22-24 lookback shows continued advocacy but no enacted fix. It also documents a blocked committee path for farm legislation and says debate would continue in September, leaving the Proposition 12 fix unresolved as of Aug. 24, 2026.

Grassley materially pursued the promise in the same federal term by joining Sen. Ernst and others on S. 1326, the Food Security and Farm Protection Act, and continuing to advocate for a Proposition 12 fix through the Farm Bill process. But the located status shows S. 1326 only introduced and referred to committee, and the later Grassley update says the Farm Bill path had stalled rather than producing an enacted Proposition 12 legislative fix. Because there was a serious same-term legislative effort but no delivered fix, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
