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?
