Michigan has initiated this law that requires any cattle leaving your farm after 3-1-07 to be RFID tagged(radio frquency ID) for desease contol,and possibly upgrade our states TB status . What people are up in arms about with the NAIS (National Animal I D system) is some of the fine print , such as providing the GPS co-ordinates of your farm for satilite survalince, unreasonable search and seizure with no componsation( USDA may size and distroy your animals without warrent and no compinsation for loss), and the security of the data base will rest in PRIVATE hands NOT the USDA. Unless you are using RFID tags now,( 900series I believe) you will have to change to a new tag with a special applicator. there will also be a fee for yearly premisis registration,along with the added cost of the tags. If you want to read a litte more I will attempt to post a link to NoNAIS.org ,I reccomend reading the proposed draft of the NAIS and also the couple of articles by Mary Zanoti.....Act now,or we will be burdened for generations to come.
