Heads up.
One of the people that runs http://www.nonais.org/ just received a phone call from the USDA.
The following is an exact quote:
I just got a call from “‘Alice’ calling on behalf of the USDA.” She wanted to know if I would take part in a survey and said it would only take up a few minutes of my time. I asked what the questions are. Turns out she’s gathering the information that they could use to “Voluntarily” enroll me in NAIS without my permission. This already happened in Washington state. Watch out! The USDA and some states are making a big deal about how many “voluntary” enrollments they already have from farmers. They use this number to emphisize that farmers strongly support NAIS. Makes me wonder. Be very wary of any communications from the USDA and other agencies. Remember: “They’re from the government and they’re here to help us.”
