Ukraine, U.S. announce food security partnership
During a meeting June 16 with U.N. ambassadors and officials at the U.S. Mission to the U.N., United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced USDA and The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance coordination between the U.S. and Ukrainian agriculture and food sectors and build a strategic partnership to address food security.
“Since February the world has witnessed Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine and the disruption it is causing to agricultural production, trade, and most importantly, food security,” says Vilsack. “Russia’s actions are posing major threats not only to the people of Ukraine but to countries in Africa and the Middle East that rely on the grains and other staples produced in Ukraine. Russia is using food as a weapon and a tool of war to threaten the livelihoods of those around the world, and that is something the agriculture community cannot and will not stand for. Read more

Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act passes in House
In action June 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed by a vote of 221-204 H.R. 7606, the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act, which lead Democrat authors say will help address supply chain risks, lower the cost of food and gas prices, strengthen the food supply chain and ensure robust competition in the meat and poultry sector.
In a statement of administration policy in support of the bill, the administration notes, “Farmers today are squeezed between concentrated market power in the agricultural input industries, be it in seed, fertilizer, feed, or equipment suppliers, and concentrated market power in the channels for selling agricultural products. As a result, American farmers’ share of the value of their agricultural products has decreased and they often struggle to make sustainable returns.” Read more

USDA, Innovation Center Sign MOU on dairy sustainability
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue working toward the dairy industry’s 2050 environmental stewardship goals while addressing growing consumer demand for food that is produced in a way that’s good for the planet.
The MOU, which extends and builds upon a pact originally signed in 2009, will leverage USDA programs to encourage the adoption of economically viable technologies and practices that improve sustainability and assist in addressing environmental needs of U.S. dairy farmers. Efforts will accelerate and streamline programs focused on resource recovery, sustainability improvement, soil health management and greenhouse gas reduction (GHG). Read more

Farm Bill Policy Priorities and more
The 2023 USDA budget and the coming Farm Bill have major impacts on priorities areas for research in the coming years and the funding that will be available to do the work. ADSA is seeking input on priority areas for the Farm Bill, funding for science, climate change and the future workforce. The FASS Science Policy Committee (SPC) is hosting a session at the ADSA Annual meeting titled “Farm Bill and Science Policy Discussion with USDA NIFA.” It will be held from 8:00 to 9:00 am on Wednesday June 22 in room CC 2201. Deb Hamernik, PhD, Deputy Director, Institute of Food Production & Sustainability (IFPS) for NIFA will be at our session to provide updates on NIFA. Members of the FASS SPC will provide an overview of the committee and its activities, updates on the current status of the Farm Bill and FY23 budget and seek your input on policy priorities for ADSA and FASS to pursue. If you can’t make this session, stop by the FASS Booth (#315) and share your policy priorities during the meeting. What areas of research can have the greatest impact for producers and consumers in the short and long term?

Wildfire smoke exposure negatively
impacts dairy cow health
New research in the Journal of Dairy Science® examines effects of wildfire smoke on dairy cattle, including reduced milk production
Increasing frequency and size of wildfires in the United States over the past several decades affect everything from human life and health to air quality, biodiversity, and land use. The US dairy industry is not exempt from these effects. The Western states, where wildfires are especially prevalent, are home to more than two million dairy cows that produce more than 25% of the nation’s milk. A new report in the Journal of Dairy Science® examines how dairy cattle in the Western United States may be affected by unique air pollutants from wildfire smoke. (MORE)
