The USDA is trying to force the NAIS into effect again!

The USDA is at it again!

Taken from a post on The Poultry Connection:

"In a rush to implement rules before there was a new administration, USDA published a notice of rule making that makes NAIS mandatory for four disease programs. Before you say, "hey this isn't me" realize that if they do it for cattle, goats, sheep, and swine, then poultry (as in NPIP) aren't far behind. It's true they're not talking about micro chipping chickens (now) but they have come up with hair-brained ideas like hanging id tags off metal loops threaded through the neck skin of day-old birds. :shock: No I am *not* kidding! That was a USDA vet!

It is important to comment on this rule. below is information on how to do that, why, and some sample comments.

Permission to cross-post, forward, print up as flyer's and distribute, etc., as written.

consider supporting organizations that really support local independent agriculture: Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, Farm to Consumer Defense Fund, and Liberty Ark."

I have a copy of a letter that you can send to the USDA to voice your opinion on this issue. Send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.
