Comments on: VT Premises ID Killed http://NoNAIS.org/2006/08/18/vt-premises-id-killed/ Protect our traditional rights to farm Thu, 17 May 2012 03:13:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Texas Goat Gal http://NoNAIS.org/2006/08/18/vt-premises-id-killed/#comment-7646 Fri, 08 Sep 2006 16:31:35 +0000 http://NoNAIS.org/2006/08/18/vt-premises-id-killed/#comment-7646 Yesterday I read the newly-posted newspaper article on the right sidebar, "Vt. Sheep Disease Free". I just talked with Monica Mead, the author of the article, to ask her a question I had. She is a VERY nice young woman, and you are very lucky in Vermont to have such an open-minded journalist in your state. I ordered the book "Mad Sheep", written by the Faillaces, from Chelsea Green Publishing. I was having trouble getting their website to load, so I called them at 800-639-4099. The book cost $25, with a $5 discount for ordering over the internet, plus $4 shipping. Their web address is: www.chelseagreen.com. Thanks, Walter, for adding this article to the list!

U-RAH for Steve Kerr to have the bollocks to stand up to the Feds and NAIS! If only he could convince his cohorts in the Secratary of Ag brotherhood to show the same backbone! Our Ag Sec. wouldn't even comment on issues saying only it is complicated and difficult, thereby proving he is just a Tool. Thank God for our Grange, however. They are lobbying with the state about getting an exemption from NAIS for all micro and hobby farms in our county. So don't give up actively working in the smallest quarters. Go to your herd, breeder, club associations, your Grange or feedstore customer base and pool together to activate at the county level. Show your county how much opposition there is on their turf and then have that county affect the counties around them. We can still tilt at the Corporate BigAg and Government windmills, but we should also be setting a fire from within the foundations. The bottom line is we are closer to our local, elected officials than we can ever be to the Big Guys. The Senators and Representatives at the Federal level are Tools and are affected by too many influences. They delegate important issues to unelected employees and thereby remove themselves from responsability or knowledge. Therefore this really is a case of "Taxation without Representation"--our elected representatives are asleep to the larger issues because they have pawned off responsability to flunkies and are too busy taking money for their next campaign. Cut out corporate campaign finance, lower the amount which can be spent on a political position and there would be a great deal more attention paid to the issues and less time wasted promoting useless ideas which have been bought and paid for by large corporations.

Global Animal Management, Inc. (GAM) announced today that USDA has named the company an interim animal tracking database participant for the National Animal Identification System (NAIS).

GAM is the first company to receive such a designation. It will allow those dairy and beef producers who are already using the company’s Tri-Merit age, process and source verification program to easily participate in NAIS animal tracking efforts. Because the NAIS program is still voluntary, users will decide if they want their animals movement records released. USDA says it will only request movement records when an animal disease concern has been confirmed.

“GAM’s product, Tri-Merit, is constructed in such a way to allow producers all the flexibility they may need to comply with upcoming NAIS requirements or take advantage of value-added programs such as age, source and process verification. It’s a one-stop shop,” says Jim Heinle, GAM president. GAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schering-Plough Animal Health. For more information, go to: www.mygamonline.com or www.SPAH.com
