It's here.... Six years into NAIS and over $130 million spent, the long awaited NAIS Cost/Benefit Analysis has been released. The past few days ag journalists have been busy parroting USDA talking points on the wonder of NAIS - apparently without reading the report.

My recommendation: read the full report; it is over 400 pages. The shorter, 30 page Overview is the fluff-news version.

NAIS is the National Animal Identification System, best described by Jim Hightower as The Lunatic National Animal Identification System.
