I read an article on it in Forage Grower, last spring sometime. It was going to be a real concern, since my accident, I dont think it will be a problem to me any more.

It wouldnt be hard for terrorists, espcially home grown ones like Tim McVeigh, to contaminate hay with radioactive waste, let that get into the milk supply, and all of a sudden we have a real problem. Maybe not a health problem but a perception problem. I think thats what irritates me the most about the opposition to tracking stuff. If the American customer gets scared about something (like spinach, look at what that cost the spinach growers, and how much more it would have cost them if they had been unable to track it at all) it is devistating.

I know what its like to be under quarentene. Back in the 80's with brucellosis. If we can track, everything, maybe we wont have people like me who were under lockdown quarentene for 9 months.

As to the taxation argument, I dont believe it. Fed taxes, it would take an enormorous amount of work to cross check sales with reports for a relatiely small amount of money. State taxes, yeah I could see that in places where animals and ag assets are subject to property tax.
