In the news:

A Cumberland, Wis., man pleaded no contest and was found guilty Tuesday of violating Wisconsin’s premises registration law, after being granted a new trial in Polk County Circuit Court. Patrick Monchilovich, 39, declined the court’s offer to allow him to register his premises rather than pay a $390 penalty, and reserved his right to appeal.
:
“The vast majority of Wisconsin’s livestock producers have registered their premises; about 60,000 to date,” Wisconsin State Veterinarian Robert Ehlenfeldt says. “We have a minority who have not registered, whether for religious reasons, anti-government sentiment, or whatever other reason.

Gee… He equates religious freedom and anti-government sentiment “or whatever”. Is he trying to call us terrorists? Notice the manipulation of language. Standard fascist behavior. From there our Learless Feeder Herr Ehlenfeldt goes on to say:

“But this law came about because our animal agriculture producers asked for it.”
-Dairy Network

HUH!?! No, we did not ask for it. It is being forced upon us. Comments in the Federal Registry about the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS) run overwhelmingly against the program. Speakers at the listening sessions across the nation were almost unanimously against NAIS. Farmers and consumers in national independent polls are 92% against NAIS. We did not ask for it. We keep saying No! but they keep forcing it on us. What is wrong with Wisconsion’s government, Department of Agriculture and their state vet? Deaf as dung?

What part of the word “No!” do they not understand? NAIS is not about protection animal health. It is not about protecting our food quality. It is not about food safety. The USDA has stated this in writing. NAIS is not about the American consumer nor is it for small farmers. NAIS is about protecting the profits of Big Ag and they get to be excused from the tagging and tracking. It is a marketing scheme paid for by the American Tax Payer for the benefit of Big Corporations. As small farmers, we already know where our livestock are. It is Big Ag who can’t keep track of their asses.

The time has come to to stop the rape of American farmers by Government Agricultural Regulatory Bureaucrats And Global Exploiters (GARBAGE).

No means No.
Not Now.
Not Ever.

The government is back to attacking farmers for farming:

A second trial to be held in case of livestock registry law
BALSAM LAKE, WI - A second trial will be held today for the first person convicted of violating a law that requires farmers to register their livestock premises with the state. … Donna Gilson of the state agriculture department said a new trial was granted because the federal government had rejected a national law that’s similar to Wisconsin’s. … Monchilovich will be tried again in Polk County. And Gilson says other prosecutors will be watching, to decide whether to press ahead with similar cases in Grant, Vernon, and Price counties.

This is one of the many reasons why the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a baaahd idea according to my sheeple. They keep ramming it down our throats despite our bleats of protest. Apparently they missed the part about “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

The Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
-Abraham Lincoln

We do not need permission from the government to farm, to associate, to speak. The USDA, FDA and WI Dept of Ag and other agencies are violating the fundamental Constitutional rights of the people of our nation with their gradual implementation of restrictive laws and regulations that monitor and control our lives.

The USDA is pushing a mandatory National Animal Identification System (NAIS) by trying to block interstate transport of livestock. They continue to fuel false fears of disease while proposing exemptions for Big Ag. The result is that the burden will fall on small farmers while Big Ag gets a free pass.

The regulations are being drafted six months after the U.S. Department of Agriculture dropped an unpopular voluntary program meant to trace livestock movement, and they are expected to be implemented in 2013. [Get a clue, USDA. Smaller farmers and consumers overwhelmingly do not want NAIS.

“A voluntary system has not worked so far, and that’s why the USDA has gone back to the drawing board and created a system that relies much more strongly on compulsory or mandatory identification instead of voluntary,” said Marty Zaluski, the Montana state veterinarian and a member of the USDA working group drafting the new rule.
:
USDA is holding a series of public meetings on the proposed regulations and plans to have a draft rule ready in April 2011. The final rule is expected to be published a year to 15 months after that, with full implementation a year after the final rule is published.
