Two States Set Premises Registration Deadlines; USDA Launches ID System Web Site
Both Wisconsin and Indiana have set deadlines for registering livestock premises as part of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Wisconsin, the first state to mandate premises registration, has set a Nov. 1, 2005, deadline, though they have proposed a "compliance window" after that date with certain groups being phased in. See their web site for details: http://datcp.state.wi.us/ah/agriculture/animals/premises/premises_registration.h\ tml
In Indiana beginning Sept. 1, 2006, premises registration will be required for "each person that buys, sells or exhibits livestock".
Individuals must obtain a premises ID number for each of their Indiana premises. Certain species, including camelids are exempt from this deadline, though they may register voluntarily. See their web site for details: http://www.in.gov/boah/
Currently, premises registration is underway in 46 states with registration systems expected to be fully operational in all 50 states by the end of 2005.
Wonder how much money Indiana will lose when there are no more county or state fairs???
