2012 National Agricultural Classification Survey

<< < (4/8) > >>

FLFAmeraucanas:
We also recieved one of these. Bleh.  We aren\'t NPIP (have been trying to aviod big Brother), but we do have cattle and crop farm.  It also had both mine and my hubby\'s name on it, even though he is the only one whose got the crops and cattle under his name.  What a waste of time.

I also echo, good for you John! I may let our 13 month old fill ours out for us, and send it back to them with thier convienent envelope.

Beth C:
I think I\'ll let me 6 year old do mine - half the birds are his anyway. Income for 2011 - 100,000 Lego pieces...

I\'m wondering if what put us on their radar is all the above. I refused to sign up for NAIS, a condition of showing at the state fair, but caved on the Scrapies so that I could show at all. After the fact, I found somewhere in the fine print of the packet they sent me that, once NAIS got up and running, the information would automatically transfer over. Needless to say, I was furious, but they already had my info, couldn\'t un-ring the bell. I\'d have thought twice about doing NPIP had I not already opened the door with that. I\'m not hearing as much chatter about NAIS, but I\'m wondering if that\'s what we\'re starting to see - they\'re rolling all of their data from various programs into one database. And forcibly enrolling everyone who ever gave them ANY information into their \'voluntary\' program. If I had it to do over again, I think I\'d have enrolled in NAIS from the start. As a Johnston County hog farmer named Jose...

Tailfeathers:
Would you believe I no more than finished my post last night, then went downstairs, and guess what was sitting in the mail the wife brought home?

Yup.  You guessed it.  Haven\'t opened it yet but they aren\'t getting much info from me!

God Bless,

Paul:
I look for the US Government to shove the NAIS on us like
a baby calf getting a Bolus whether he wants it or not!  I\'ve said it from the beginning and will keep on saying-the only reason for the NAIS is:  when the one world government takes over, they will know where all the food animals are.

We haven\'t received our survey yet, but I bet its coming soon.

ParadiseFoundFarm:
Got the survey.  We have been NPIP for about 2 years.  Never reported farm income (there isn\'t any to report but I could probably try to take some losses  :stare:)  We that have recieved them are varied and different but the only common thread looks to be NPIP and that shouldn\'t be because as Jean said, ours too came in both names but I\'m the only one on the NPIP cert.
