[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 622112, member: 8978"] One thing I get very confused about is the US cattlemans attitude towards the NAIS program? They talk alot about food safety for the consumer but don't want to give the USDA a tool that would help? It seems to me if an animal turned up with BSE or FMD it would make sense to know right away where she came from and where she had been? Also where her herdmates/offspring were? I wonder how the USDA can assure their export customers that their beef is safe, when they don't have a proper efficient traceback system? I also wonder "What is the problem?" Do US citizens have so little faith in their government that they can't trust them? The EU, Australia, New Zealand, Canada all have a mandatory traceback. Alberta has a mandatory RFID tag, age verification and premise ID. Are we naive in believing our government is implementing these things for one reason...food safety? Is there some evil purpose behind it that us dumb hicks don't know about? Why should Canada accept US beef that doesn't meet the same standards we demand for Canadian beef? Why should any other country? [/QUOTE]
