Thanks for sharing. I worry that many farmers may not be aware of this upcoming change.

You are welcome!! Thank you for raising awareness of this. I first because aware of this early this past spring I believe from my ag connections.

As someone in and around the Ag buisness I do not see this effecting the buisness farmer. So the contracted dairy and chicken ect I don’t see this effecting them much.

What this will really effect are the homesteaders, hobby farms and such. As regulation and rules come down the line such as this, it is just another way to squeeze out the self sufficent people who use animals to further this self sufficiency. Death by a thousand cuts the saying says.

For those that do use some meds like this for human back ups…it will also throw a wrench into that whole plan. Against goes back to the same thing.

I agree with some other comments…natural remedies and herbs should be a big part of the learning for a person whom this will effect.

This is why I believe that natural remedies will have a resurgence, and discovering what can cure that grows on your land, or you can cultivate will be really important.

I know that many are scared by this and think it will make caring for critters harder for the little guys like us, but it honestly doesn’t need to. We have been raising critters here for over ten years and have not once ever needed to use a single synthetic antibiotic. Nature truly provides better, safer and more effective remedies than anything you can buy from Big Pharma.
