Congress introduces ag research funding bill
In an effort to boost spending on agricultural research, Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) and Reps. Cheri Bustos (D., Ill.), Kim Schrier (D., Wash.) and Jimmy Panetta (D., Cal.) introduced the America Grows Act, into the Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.
The legislation would authorize a 5% annual funding increase over the next five years at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The America Grows Act would restore U.S. commitment to publicly funded agriculture research, while most domestic agriculture research has declined.

Senate passes bill to strengthen food, ag industry security
The U.S. Senate has unanimously approved bipartisan legislation to address the shortage of agricultural inspectors who protect the nation's food supply and agricultural industries at the border. The Protecting America's Food & Agriculture Act of 2019, introduced by Sens. Gary Peters (D., Mich.), Pat Roberts (R., Kan.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) and John Cornyn (R., Texas), would ensure the safe and secure trade of agricultural goods across the nation's borders by authorizing U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) to hire additional inspectors, support staff and canine teams to fully staff America's airports, seaports and land ports of entry.

Northeast dairy co-op to dock farmers for overproduction
Agri-Mark, one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the Northeast U.S., marketing more than 370 million gal. of milk each year for more than 850 dairy farm families, is implementing measures to try to stabilize the region's industry by limiting production. The change was approved by the co-op board and outlined in a letter to its members.

For more information on travel awards, contact Cara Tharp
carat@assochq.org at ADSA headquarters.
Two conferences will be held in 2020. The 38th Discover Conference - AUTOMATION IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY will be held May 11-13, 2020 at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, IL This Discover Conference will have an abbreviated format from Monday noon to Wednesday noon. The program will bring together researchers, industry partners, producers, and government to discuss current and future technologies and best management practices for success. Details are available at:
https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/38th-Discover-Conference. It will be followed by the 39th DISCOVER Conference - THE TRANSITION PERIOD - FROM PHYSIOLOGY TO MANAGEMENT that will be held October 26 - 29, 2020 at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, IL. This conference will focus on the scientific advancements made in the last 10 years and will discuss the unanswered questions and controversies about the transition period. Small group discussions will be woven into the program, including focused discussions with the speakers. The program will bridge from the fundamental science to its application. For details visit https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/39th-Discover-Conference
DISCOVER Conferences provide a unique environment and format fostering interactive presentations and discussions with an attempt to involve all conference participants. If you've never attended a Discover Conference, you need to add attendance to your professional "bucket list"! Act early, as registration is capped to ensure maximum interaction, and these highly-rated meeting normally sell out early. An added bonus for attendees is that all will receive 90 days of complementary access to
S-PAC, the largest on-line collection of conference proceedings with over 650 proceedings now available to subscribers.

The 2020 ADSA Annual Meeting scientific program will feature
1,200 oral and poster presentations
from around the globe. As always, the success of the meeting begins with the quality of the science presented-we look forward to your contributions to this global gathering of animal and dairy scientists. Make sure your research is included, as 1,800 scientists from over 50 countries will meet in beautiful West Palm Beach, Florida. Again in 2020-
Platform Sessions
will be featured. In a platform session, an invited speaker leads off a themed or topical oral session with a 30- or 45-minute talk, which is then followed by submitted abstract talks. This oral session type can result in higher levels of engagement of oral session submitters/presenters, while disseminating the most current research. Platform sessions provide a third oral session option, somewhere between a symposium and a general oral session. When submitting your abstract(s), be sure to look for platform sessions that may incorporate your research.
The abstract submission site for the 2020 ADSA Annual Meeting is now open!
Visit
https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/2020-Annual-Meeting/Abstracts to submit your abstract. Submission instructions, quality standards, answers to frequently asked questions, and student competition guidelines are available on the page. There is no abstract submission fee.
The deadline for abstract submission is February 20, 2020, at 11:59 pm (CST).
The 2020 ADSA® Annual Meeting special events web page is now open and accepting submissions.
