A federal judge has ruled Iowa’s Ag-Gag law to be upheld.
The provision bans farm trespassers from using cameras or other recording devices to investigate livestock facilities. According to the judge, it represents a targeted approach that directly advances the state’s interests in protecting property rights.
Elizabeth Rumley with the National Agricultural Law Center spoke with RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander on what this law is about, what contributed to the court’s ruling, and how this ruling might impact other states.
