At the J.S. West and Cos. poultry farm, half a million chickens are squeezed six at a time into wire cages where they must share 2 square feet of space. Beneath them, conveyor belts whisk away excrement while 1.2 million eggs travel from hen to carton each day without touching a human hand. California voters will decide next month whether this kind of operation is an example of factory farming at its most efficient – or the cruel practices of producers concerned only about the bottom line. If approved in the Nov. 4 election, a ballot measure called Proposition 2 would prohibit ranchers from keeping chickens, veal calves and breeding pigs in pens or cages that are too small for the animal to move. It is the farthest-reaching measure dealing with farm animal treatment ever put before voters in any state. Ranchers would have to ensure that their animals can stand up, turn around or stretch. But since producers have voluntarily phased out the caging of newborn calves and breeding sows, debate over the measure has centered primarily on California's 19 million egg-laying chickens, 90 percent of which are housed in battery cages like the ones at J.S. West. The restrictions would take effect in 2015, with violations carrying a $1,000 fine. Major egg producers oppose the initiative and insist the current method of mass production is the most efficient way to deliver inexpensive eggs. They warn that egg producers will move out of state or ...

California is the source of E. coli-tainted iceberg lettuce suspected to have sickened 36 people in Michigan, officials said Thursday. "Illness dates, ship dates and delivery dates narrow the origin to California," said Jennifer Holton, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Ken August, a spokesman with California Department of Public Health, said the source of the contamination was still unknown. The culprit probably is industrial-size packages of iceberg lettuce sold to restaurants and institutions, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health. Detroit distributor Aunt Mid's Produce Co. sold some lettuce linked to illnesses, according to the Michigan and Illinois health agencies. The company has stopped lettuce distribution. ...
