The USDA is trying to slip through regulations that will require anyone with animals to register their home as a farm, buy an annual Premise ID license, tag and report all of their animals, report all births, deaths, sales and movements on or off the premise. This will be an undue hardship and an invasion of our lives. The last thing we need is more Big Brother Nanny Govi-Corp telling us what to do.
I have setup a site NoNAIS.org to track NAIS and fight it. I'll be posting alerts, action items, news and articles there about NAIS as well as linking to additional resources, sites and blogs fighting NAIS. Please spread the word about NAIS so that people know just how bad it is and can fight it. NAIS may be good for the big producers as it will give them more export markets but it is horrible for small farmers, homesteaders and pet horse owners.

I'm a bit eccentric and rather eclectic. Like the New England weather, wait a minute and I'll change. :) The picture is a pencil drawing by my lovely and talented wife Holly. Note that my blog is nolonger on Blogger but has moved to http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog on WordPress. Funny thing. Google's counter of views on my blog profile has stayed at about 28,000 for years. I guess Google ran out of bits. How odd. 28,000 isn't even 2^15th or 15 bits long.
