 "Currently, the USDA is promoting a program, under the direction of Homeland 
Security, to micro chip and mark every single animal in the US.  (I'm talking 
even the grandma that has one laying hen in the backyard.) Their goal is 100%
mandatory compliance by 2009.  They're deceiving people with saying it's
voluntary, however, they're not telling them that in their strategic plan, 
it's mandatory in 2009, with not only fines of 1,000 per day per infraction, 
but also one would become a felon and do jail time for non compliance.  Our 
US federal code was also just changed, as of 4/21/06 allowing them to come on 
to your property and even destroy your animals WITHOUT a warrant.  Another 
alarming factor is the collaborative partnerships that are involved with this 
program.  Every bureaucracy that you can think of will have a carte blanche 
access to your home and property under US code title 7 chapter 109."

<USDA AWARDS $11.64 MILLION TO STATES AND TRIBES FOR A NATIONAL ANIMAL
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

In August 2004, USDA announced the selection of 29 state and tribal
projects to receive a total of $11.64 million to advance the national
animal identification initiative. APHIS will distribute the funds
through 29 cooperative agreements. States and tribes can use the funds
to register premises through a standardized system provided by APHIS
or through other systems that comply with NAIS data standards. Besides
registering premises and establishing necessary data transfer
procedures, many states and tribes will also conduct field trials or
research in order to test and fine-tune ID technologies and collect
animal movement data. 
   
State and tribal plans include collecting intra- and interstate animal
movement records electronically; integrating data collection
technologies at livestock marketing facilities and processing plants;
tracking livestock imported from other countries; and electronically
collecting animal movement data as livestock are loaded on and off
trucks and trailers at their ship-from and ship-to locations. 
   
APHIS received more than 40 applications for animal identification
cooperative agreement funding. >

And here is what they say are some of the IL associations' involvement:

<Many stakeholders in Illinois are assisting with producer outreach:
Horsemen's Council of Illinois; Illinois Beef Association; Illinois
Deer Breeders; Illinois Farm Bureau; Illinois Milk Producers
Association; Illinois Pork Producers Association; Illinois Sheep
Industry; Illinois Standardbred Owners and Breeders Association;
Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Foundation; and the
University of Illinois.>

Summary:
<You may already be one of the nearly 160,000 producers who have
registered their premise under the National Animal Identification
System, and are willing to participate in the tracking program. But
those who have not registered may have either not gotten around to it,
or may have philosophical differences with the concept. Over and above
those issues is the opportunity to financially benefit from the
identification program. If you produce good meat animals, and someone
wanting such a product will compensate you. As another pundit once
said, when you have lemons, make lemonade.>
