ID Expo hosted by NIAA in Kansas City Missouri in August
Gotta love the verbiage when they announced the event:
“When numerous issues in the animal identification arena indicated the need for another ID INFO EXPO, NIAA stepped up to the plate to host the event now slated for Aug. 25-27 in Kansas City, Mo. Hosting the event was a natural move as NIAA is an umbrella organization for all livestock species groups and provides a forum for those involved in or passionate about animal agriculture, including but not limited to producers, state and national association leadership, veterinarians-private practice and government, extension specialists, academia, researchers, state and national government regulatory personnel and allied industry.”

Here is the big National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) convention in Kansas City coming up. They will circle the wagons to mandate NAIS here.
They have been the huge pusher of NAIS for years. They started as LCI and as I understand it, Farm Bureau created them or helped greatly. Then it turned into NIAA. They have been pushing NAIS since before 1994. It was not called NAIS then, but the outline of the program was being put in place then.
And you thought NAIS was because of 911 and terrorists right? Wrong!
You can research on their website, www.AnimalAgriculture.org. Google NIAA National Institute for Animal Agriculture.
Look at their membership list. Big AG, VETS, FARM BUREAU, USDA, STATE AG DEPTS and on and on… no little family farmers here!!!
I held my first protest sign in Kansas City three years ago at their event then. It costs $375 dollars to go inside to the meeting… so much for small farmers going…
This is outrageous, but it always has been…
Who will speak up for the little guys?

But THEY know we are verrrry unhappy with any NAIS type proposal…how do THEY know? Because THEY changed the name of it. Not much else has changed but THEY hoped to get us off track and ease back by saying NAIS is dead, but it ain’t…they just told the states to implement it…which THEY never had the authority so to do anyway.
Now for some history that shows the disastrous results that can happen when a govt tries to legislate tracking disease or go federal with agriculture….both events cost the lives of millions of people.
Tracking disease is not new. In 1938-Nazi Germany targeted one segment of society they thought responsible for spreading disease, the JEWS. A law was passed that ALL JEWS had to register their property. ierevery piece of property they own into a massive database. IT worked. The Gestapo knew exactly who to raid by the value of their art and jewelry. We know the rest of the story, a minor event called the Holocaust!
In the same time period, the Russian Communist Govt under Stalin starved millions of farmers in the most fertile part of the country because the law stated that ALL the grain they grew and their lands belonged to the govt! They were not even allowed to eat what they grew! The reason- Stalin wanted to sell Russian grain on the world market! And the grain was sold while 11 million died from starvation, execution, or prison life!
