This group is here to share information on why the implimentation for the NAIS will be detrimental to the agriculture commmunity, particulalry small rural homesteads and backyard barnyards.
Your rights are about to violated, again. This isn't just about sticking an RFID into your animals, but also means that your feed supplier will be *REQUIRED* to report to the Government who she/he is selling feed to, your vet will have to file a report on his/her visits, AND you'll be required to register you premises and provide GPS co-ordinates.
There are, I regret, some rules:
1) All new memberships require approval
2) New member messages will have their first posting(s) moderated
3) NO SPAM! NO TROLLS!
This is only to prevent spammers and morons from filling up our list with nonsense, I will not interfere with or censor content.
There are a couple of requests, as well:
1) Sign the petition you'll find under 'links' titled "Save Our Livelyhood"
2) Contact, in whatever form you are comfortable with, your local, state and federal representative expressing your concerns over this base intrusion into our livelyhoods and freedoms
(we'll work on form letters and easy to get information for this)
3) Oh, yes, please trim your messages when replying.... :)
