"In Iowa, which raises about one-third of the nations hogs, farmer Dwight Mogler estimates the changes would cost him $3 million and allow room for 250 pigs in a space that now holds 300."
And? This doesn't refute what I've said.

If this farmer's production is expected to drop by 16%, we would expect prices to rise by the same amount to cover the costs, plus more to deal with the initial overhead costs of renovating part or all of the farm. The initial article suggests pork prices in California will rise up to 60% - more than enough to cover it.

Again, this isn't difficult - the people wanted hogs to be treated more ethically and they're going to get it. It will cost more, but that is something California voters are apparently willing to accept as a price for more ethical meat. Honestly? Good for them.
