MINUTES SUBCOMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE, RURAL AFFAIRS AND COASTAL RESOURCES Wednesday, September 6, 2006
Mr. Stufflebeam testified that he is a full-time farmer
representing small farmers and ranchers in support of
independent and sustainable small family farms. He said that
the NAIS program does not take into account small rural
community life and that there is no assurance that the
information collected will be secure. Mr. Stufflebeam stated
that NAIS places an unfair burden on the smaller producer. He
recommends increased border inspections, education for small
producers on how to identify and prevent disease, and
diversification of the local food supply.
NOTE: This is very insightful on how our government operates, and a prime example how industry is in control.
Small producers are not being represented, and our industry led government seems to care less.
Soon we will have no choice but to consume their factory produced garbage.
