USDA licensed professionals, have dedicated untold hours to coerce new enrollments in NAIS. The cost
to USDA per NAIS enrolled farm owner is well over $360 each to date.
NAIS is the result of looking for trouble, not finding it anywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying
costly, bogus remedies. Never has such a USDA grandiose plot been attempted with less user approval,
less convincing value, and such distorted numbers used to spin the program.
Solution
Industrial agriculture created NAIS to benefit industrial agriculture. We support private industry creating and maintaining a system like NAIS for its own use and benefit. If the system is cost effective, it will pay for itself. If it is not cost effective, forcing small farmers and taxpayers to pay for it makes no sense.
