premise ID

It does not trouble me in the least. If you look down at your computer it has a a label on it. You know where it was made and by who. Everything has a label on it in the manufacturing industries, why should something as important as our food be any different. I know this is not a popular opinion, but just how I feel.

Mixed emotions on this one.
Have problems with more government have yet to see in my life time any program they started not screwd up and didn't cost a lot more than it supposedly paid in returns.
Secondly Americans don't care where there beef comes from so long as its cheap. Look at the cars and other products we buy. If you think country of orgin labeling is going to help you fell and hit your head.
 
It's just one piece of the pie that gets us a few bucks more at sale time since it allows us to be age, source and process verified. That's worth a few extra bucks because it makes them eligible for export.

I know there are a lot of strong feelings on this issue. As a part time/small time rancher and full time systems analyst I can say for sure that the entire NAIS project will never be in place in any of our lifetimes. Much too big, much too complex, too many people who will resist cooperating. They may try but it won't happen.
Now, premise ID; I don't hate the idea of a unique Premise ID that could be ear tagged or tattooed on new born calves to mark their point of origin.
I do dislike the rest of NAIS for all the many reasons folks have supplied up till now.

I was told that its more likely that you will get discounted if you don't have the age verification. Up here, everybody has a premises ID, done by section, township and range. Its mandatory to have a government issued ear tag in every animal that leaves the farm. I got caught with one not tagged this spring. If I get caught again, its $1000 fine. As far as admin costs go, we had a program up here that was supposed to have a $2 levy per head with the proceeds going towards setting up some slaughter plants in the province. However, you could apply to get that money back if you wanted to. After all was said and done, the program cost more than what was raised for the slaughter plants.

I totally support NAIS as much as I support immigration reform for some of the same reasons. As an American we should be able to tell where our food supply is coming from and make a decision if we are willing to pay more for a quality product or not. If beef isn't raised and processed in a safe manner by a given country we should be able to identify that product on the grocery shelf. I also believe something should be in place to identify the food source in restaurants not just the groceries. I personally eat home grown beef but this is a much bigger issue in the average consumer's eyes who do buy their beef at the store. I don't know all the answers about how to achieve this in a cost effective method and not cause undue burdens on the beef producer/processor/grocer.
