New York Times Op-ed on Proposed Animal Tracking

Thanks to Marie for pointing out this op-ed to me. A few days ago I directed you to this article, which discusses the efforts by several congressman to implement a livestock tracking system. The ope-ed, from the New York Times, is by a small farmer and discuses the implications of this proposal on small farmers. It is definitely worth the read, just ensure you know both sides of the issue.

  1. Perhaps linking yourself/your organization with an important consumer group that focuses on food safety would help further your mission and goals. Safe Tables Our Priority(STOP)is an Illinois based group and provides an example of a liaison that could prove beneficial.
