Consumer confidence
Folks, educate yourselves about NAIS before you make the mistake of signing up. Premises registration leads to individual animal tagging which leads to reporting of animal movements. Read the USDA documents to learn what NAIS is really all about.
The Australian NLID - their equivalent system- is in a shambles, has millions of phantom cattle, is not providing the premiums promised. The Australian ranchers have told us to fight NAIS down to the last cowboy. NAIS is an impossible boondoggle whose sole purpose is to help tag manufacturers sell tags. An ear tag is not going to enhance food safety, which is a processing issue, not a live animal issue.
You might not know that Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund has filed an intent to sue USDA and Michigan Dept. of Ag over the illegalities of NAIS. For starters, USDA does NOT have the authority they claim in the Animal Health Protection Act to push NAIS at all. Get educated. http://www.ftcldf.org/press-15May2008...
