Mr. Salatin is speaking of a government program in the wings that would make farmers implant a RFID (Radio frequency identification) chip in every animal they raise, including chickens. The RFD Channel wake-up program on my telly yesterday, I listened for several minutes before hitting the record button. Here's what I learned. The RFID initiative is a response to the Mad Cow Disease threat. That disease is caused by feeding cows other dead cows. We knew that. What we, me anyway, did not know is that it was the federal gummint's Dept. of Agriculture who pushed that idea, as a source of cheap protein, on livestock growers in the first place. FWIW |
