Cattle Industry/NAIS

There are too many underhanded deals done with the cattleman's assns, farm bureau, state vets, state dept of agriculture and all connected employees and "suck-ups" who want to snort from the federales' tax bank. In 2007 USDA invested $298,100.29 in the NAIS enrollment program just in Ohio. A half dozen office personnel get the lions share. The "suck-ups" do the foot work and encourage their members to surrender properties.

In Ohio for 4 years only 13.3% of the farms have surrendered. The federales spent over a quarter million a year trying to force them into NAIS. Ohio farmers know the nation is the most disease free of any country and any time in history. If the USDA does their job to prevent disease from entering the nation from other imported livestock there is no need for NAIS.
Don't bother calling or writing the Dept of Agriculture in opposition to NAIS. They have been bought. USDA has contracted their alliance and they signed the deal and cashed the checks. Don't argue with Farm Bureau----they are sold out! Don't argue with NCBA and the state cattleman's association----they are sold out. Your state Vet is being paid more to sign up NAIS premises than to do anything with real disease----he sold out.

Every USDA connected office is working on NAIS. The budget is far larger than the attached bribe agreement. Every USDA employee is required to support this worthless effort. (At $29 per hour all would agree it beats farming.)
Regardless if our government has bought their own employees, it don't make it right. I respect and honor the 86% of Ohio farmers who refuse to surrender. Hold strong and encourage your Senators and Congressmen to oppose NAIS. It is illegal for USDA to bribe a Senator. We have that one un-bought segment left.
