A new article by David Gumpert in the online version of The Nation gives an excellent summary of the program and its effects and implications, http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071231/pentland_gumpert.
Getting this article into a general interest magazine is a big step to getting NAIS the attention it needs from the public. Up until now, only small farmers and rural people have opposed it, small potatoes to the assembled agribusiness giants and their influence at the USDA. Shining a brighter light on it should generate support to defeat it among reasonablee people.
That would make a Merry Christmas for a lot of people!

About Me
- Christine Heinrichs
- As a professional journalist, I began writing about heritaqe poultry after my daughter and I acquired our first chickens in the 1980s. Voyageur Press invited me to write How to Raise Chickens in 2007, followed by How to Raise Poultry in 2009. New editions of both were published in 2013 and 2014. The poultry book covers ducks, geese, swans, turkeys, guineafowl, game birds and ratites as well as chickens. My next book, The Backyard Field Guide to Chickens, will be available in May 2016. Traditional breeds are the best choice for small flocks. I continue as a regular contributor to Backyard Poultry magazine.
