Is this USDA program (reportedly underway in several states) even remotely conceivable??

The National Animal ID program ... every single livestock animal in the United States will be identified and tagged. All livestock animal movements will be tracked, logged and reported to the government ... Small farmers, pet owners and homesteaders will have to tag and track every single animal. There are *no* exceptions - even small farms that sell direct to local consumers will be required to pay the fees and file all the paper work on all their animals. Even horse, llama and other pet owners will be required to participate in NAIS. Homesteaders who raise their own meat and grandma with her one egg hen will also have to register their homes as ‘farm premises’ and obtain a Premise ID, tag all their animals and submit all the paperwork and fees.
