by Jane Williams, AR Animal Producer's Assoc: The ARAPA is a group of ranchers, farmers and concerned individuals working against the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in our effort to hold onto the Constitutional freedoms and rights to private property (our animals) and to protect the lifestyles of traditional farming and animal owners. The right to continue to rear and market plants and animals in the traditional manner that has served us so well for hundreds of years hinges on passage of The Freedom to Farm Act HB1761 which was filed by Roy Ragland (R). It has been referred to the House Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, and Economic Development. The ARAPA stresses that even if you do not own animals or plant a garden, you please support this bill so that those of us who do produce food can continue to do so without excessive costs and regulations that will put many of us out of business. The bill is anticipated to be before the committee on March 14th.
