* Very Sad, But I think WV is out for the move. :(

*www.nonais.org is easy to find. I'll try to re-trace my steps to the other and let you know. It was on one of the BIG newspaper sites, I think-- but, I was allover the place last night. Be back.

I would say the dept of ag for WV has their numbers slightly askew! Most folks and I do mean, MOST, have never even heard of NAIS in WV! Its probably more of a slanted report to get farmers to comply more easily.....SEE, folks, the others are compliant, why not you?
I DO live in WV and my family lives on the other side of the state....trust me, there have been no editorials in the papers, no discussion in the farmer's bulletin, nothing. Commercial growers are already compliant to government standards around here...this may be where they get their numbers. The small farmers and growers have not even been approached! When you ask them what they think of it, they get this dumbfounded look on their faces and say, "What is that?"
The one poster was correct in saying that WV folks would be the first to get sideways to the law....heck, they still make moonshine here! And are proud of it and share it at parties!

* Time-outs are killing me. Not national paper (duh), 3 sites, found 2 so far. WWW.northplattebulletin. 9/17/2oo7-editorial. WWW.ruralheritage.com. Stop NAIS-Lessons. . . . . ONE MORE. Be back.

Id like to see the goverment going through every holler and branch , looking for illegal poultry. I am imaging Jesco White and his clan going wild if somebodys taking their chickens or wants taxes.

Oh yeah, that's a heckuva thought, isn't it? I'd like to see them try that!

:

NAIS Official: "Farmer Hatfield, don't you realize that those chickens were to be assigned a group identification number and that you were to notify us of any animal movements so that we could update our official database?"

Devil Anse: "Well, now, I cain't rightly say that I did. And I just wonder where them chickens coulda got to? **shrug**"​

I am just imaging a remake of the dukes of hazard in WV. Instead of moonshine they are running chickens across the Ky/WV border

Around my area some people don't know what NAIS is, small farmers and would against it.......90 million chickens are processed a year in the eastern panhandle of WV and lots of large commerical poultry farms, same goes for the Shenandoah Valley of Va...
