Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is crying "fowl" over a California egg law, who filed a federal lawsuit that claims the statue's regulations on living conditions for chickens could have a detrimental effect on Midwestern farmers.
California's law, slated to be instated in 2015, will prohibit eggs from being sold in the state if they come from hens raised in cages that do not comply with the state's new size and space requirements,
Koster claims that the California law infringes on the interstate commerce protections of the U.S. Constitution, as it imposes regulations on farmers in other states.
"If California legislators are permitted to mandate the size of chicken coops on Missouri farms, they may just as easily demand that Missouri soybeans be harvested by hand or that Missouri corn be transported by solar-powered trucks," Koster said.
