Paul, I\'m with you. And John, thanks so much for starting this thread!!!
You not only gave me a good line to write on my report and send back but you saved me a BUNCH of time checking into what this is all about.
I couldn\'t believe some of the stuff they wanted to know! Big Brother, get out of my life and leave me alone! I will render unto Ceaser that which is Ceaser\'s as I am called to do but that\'s all he gets.
God Bless,
John:

We aren\'t all going to agree on some of this, but it pertains to us in this fancy and it is great to share our experiences, ideas, knowledge, etc. \"...dissemination of relevant information\" is how the mission statement puts it. How you deal with it is ultimately up to you (yet...and that is good news). Maybe we can all share a cell sometime.
I didn\'t take much time to read it, but on the back it bugged me that they wanted to know something about \"Hispanic\" involvement or something like that. I don\'t agree with giving them any information about my finances, property, plans, etc., but I understand why they want to know some of those things. But, they are way off base trying to relate age, sex, skin color and whatever else that has nothing to do with farming/ranching to any agricultural operation!
Tailfeathers:
I didn\'t read it all either, John. Didn\'t see the ethnicity stuff but that doesn\'t surprise me.
The one that stuck out to me was when they asked if I had internet or not on my place! Like, they need to know that???
God Bless,

Well I had tossed mine in the fireplace to use as kindling. Should I be nervous? Should I ask for another and send it back with \"None of your Business\"?

I can\'t believe I didn\'t think of that when I had the lady come out to test all of my birds to get on the NPIP program this year. They DO keep track of every bird and egg you buy and hatch. We have talked about the potential crisis of the whole food situation and I truly think this is something to be prepared for. You can bet I will be checking into how to back pedal, if possible. I don\'t want them knowing how many birds I have!
I haven\'t gotten anything, but if I do, we\'ll know it\'s associated with NPIP.
