[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 481639, member: 97"] My feeling is that its just the AAA pimping itself to get a bunch of taxpayers dollars ($580,000) to hand out government propoganda that the government shouldn't be spending taxpayers dollars on in the first place....Breed associations shouldn't be taking stands on political issues- and AAA made a mistake getting behind such a highly devided political issue..... If NAIS is such a good idea- and is needed to better market cattle- then the Packers/buyers could/should pay premiums for the NAIS IDed cattle and the system will come to be thru the free market...USDA by spending taxpayer dollars and mandating NAIS, is just doing the Packers job for them and profitting them at the expense of the producer and taxpayer.... Currently in my area- few buyers have been paying a premium for NAIS IDed cattle (not enough to pay for the expense/labor/time)- preferring hot iron branded permanent ID with signed affidavits..... And what I'm reading today--the USDA may not have got the money it needs to implement NAIS...... [/QUOTE]
