Food prices will skyrocket to either off set the costs of NAIS, or because there is no more competition.<BR/><BR/>Farm mom, ~shiver~Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-79708486132294563542007-12-05T09:10:00.000-06:002007-12-05T09:10:00.000-06:00I just said this on the Dec 5 post, but isn't is a...I just said this on the Dec 5 post, but isn't is a bit (ok, cynically) funny that the next owners of the condo would also be registered as a farm.

Because it was adressed to my husbands grandfather and there was no longer large livestock here on the farm, we ignored it. Another one came in the mail, this time laced with threats if we did not comply. Eric called the number (it was really vague, and hard to figure out where this census was coming from.) and they asked all kinds of questions about what types of animals we had here right down to chickens or rabbits. (of course, we didn't have any ;) And after that they left us alone. It seemed very suspicious to us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-4410854914846281482007-12-04T23:34:00.000-06:002007-12-04T23:34:00.000-06:00This is just disturbing to me to no end.

With NAIS, smallholders are the only ones who are going to be affected--which is probably what the goal of the program is---you know, you can't be horning in on the industrial animal farms....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-51917477272624863112007-12-04T07:29:00.000-06:002007-12-04T07:29:00.000-06:00You are welcome Tim.

The last time I checked, many West Virginians are pretty uptight when it comes to their land and any part of the gov't getting involved.Tim Appleton (Applehead)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17095838102621049820noreply@blogger.com
