Backyard Biosecurity a free cd from the USDA???

[DiVon80]

Just my brain going again...?? Our Govt.?? While thumbing threw my new Poultry Press paper I stumbled over this add for a free cd from the USDA. This is kinda bringing me back to the TSC wanting personal info from people buying chicks. You catch my drift??? You want a free cd on poultry diseases just give us your address and we will mail you one.? Since I am really not one to trust, I would like to hear other peoples views on this..

I'm not American but if the Canadian government did this, I'd suspect them of tracking chickens. As it is, if you buy live chicks in thei country the seller has to keep a list.

Not for me. I prefer to fly under the radar when possible.

I have to say I agree w you. I just got my first copy of poultry press this week. There is a quarter page add for this free cd. I guess I want people to be aware that this free cd may be a bigger issue later down the road. I also believe its a ploy to get addresses from unsuspecting people. Lets try to keep this going(nicely) for unsuspecting people wanting info...You really can't turn down a paying customer(??ad??)

If you think the CD is worth it, rent a mailbox under a different name and have it sent there.
