Thanks for adding your voices to those speaking out against NAIS. They need to keep hearing from us. If enough of us speak out, they will have to listen.

For those of you who wondered how the first “listening session” went, read the colorful comments from farmers and ranchers below. The numbers of people speaking for and against NAIS, even with their controlled forum, and instructions is very revealing. We will see if Vilsack really listens.

Very nice!

One of my readers weighed in on the NAIS listening session in PA. There was a good deal of resistance, let’s keep it up across the country. She describes her experience here:

Thanks for posting this link and making it easy for us to take action. We really need to see a groundswell of support for small farmers and hobbyists! Cheers, KristenM (AKA FoodRenegade) FoodRenegade’s last blog post..Michael Pollan On Marketing Food

Hi Kimberly, thanks for posting this! I wrote about NAIS on my blog a few months ago when HR 875 was a hot topic and am happy to speak up against it. I signed the petition, sent the emails to congress, and will pass along the link to the petition! Vin | NaturalBias.com’s last blog post..Why Free Food Isn’t Really Free
