WLIC is pleased to announce the launch of our new website –
www.wiid.org
– which includes an online store selling our Wisconsin-branded WI Origin™ tags, as well as DNA Fair Program Kits and WLIC Memberships.
The WLIC online store will give producers several options for purchasing the WI-Origin™ tags, including
choice of style, color and price. Other preferences include a selection of both RFID (radio frequency
identification), or non-RFID tags. Customers will be able to purchase taggers and readers as well. All tags
will include the WI-Origin™ trademarked logo, and WLIC will receive a 10 cent rebate for each tag
purchased, compliments of Allflex, USA, the tag manufacturer.
These and all other funds raised from the online store will be used to fund WLIC’s programs and
services, including its mission to educate the agricultural community and the general public of the
importance in having a robust animal identification and disease traceability system in Wisconsin.
“The new WLIC website is not only visually appealing,” said Jodi Legge, WLIC Executive Director, “it is
also easier to navigate and designed to be user-friendly. The new E-commerce section offers quick and
stress-free ordering, with all credit-card transactions verified and protected by Authorize.Net. This new
revenue stream will help us raise much-needed funds, while providing a service to our members.”
Additionally, the new website will allow WLIC to promote its member partners by sharing news and
feature stories about the industry, and share links to our e-newsletter. The site also has an easy-to-follow
link to the State’s Premises Registration website, and step-by-step instructions explaining the
DNA Fair Program, which provides DNA kits and RFID tags to youth showing livestock at the county and
state fair level.
The site was designed by USAgNet LLC/Wisconsin Ag Connection of Marshfield, which specializes in
online marketing solutions for the agricultural industry.
