I'm glad someone agrees with me on this. To me it seems so simple, it would suit me if everything could be source verified, right down to individual apples and stuff. I had ecoli, from spinach. Maybe, if everyone knew that everything they sold was traceable people as a whole would be more careful. Nothing about it scares me. I produce the best beef I can, in conditions where I try to follow labels and best practices, even when it costs me money. My genetics are top of the line cross breds focused on what the market requests. If my steaks are tough, I want to know, and do better. It seems like most of the people opposing this want to hide something, comingle what they produce inside a long chain of 'buyer beware'. Im kind of tired of subsidizing that. Since 1995 I've been in an electronic id, source verified program which includes carcass tracking. Getting a premisis ID was part of the deal for me. Its been worthwhile, at least a 10 dollar per cwt premium and I normally get an exta hundred pounds or so to sell.
