IDFA, NMPF urge USDA to improve child nutrition and food security
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have submitted joint comments to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service urging the agency to improve nutrition security by updating school meal nutrition standards to encourage increased consumption of dairy in keeping with recommendations from the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) report and with leading health organizations.

Agriculture truly feeds the U.S. economy
Nearly 18% of the nation’s economy and 30% of American jobs are either directly or indirectly linked to the food and agriculture sectors, according to a new report, Feeding the Economy, released by 30 agricultural groups in conjunction with National Ag Day on March 22, 2022.
The report finds that a total of 43 million jobs, including 21 million direct jobs, are related to the ag sector with $2.3 trillion in total wages and $7.43 trillion in total food and industry economic impact. Exports also account for nearly $183 billion.

RaboResearch: No shortage of uncertainty for dairy sector
Volatility loves uncertainty, and there is no shortage of uncertainty in the global dairy markets, RaboResearch stated in the newly released “Dairy Quarterly Q1 2022.” In fact, even before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Rabobank said a supply shortage had led to soaring global dairy commodity prices. The shortfalls will likely continue in the near term, leading Rabobank to forecast a continued decline in milk production in the seven largest export regions.

Be a Part of the Discussion: Join us for the 42nd Discover Conference - Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding
The 42nd Discover Conference- Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding will include virtual options. It will be held April 19-21, 2022 at Northern Illinois University Naperville Conference Center Hosted by the American Dairy Science Association®.
Conference Objective: Genetic diversity drives our ability to increase profitability through selection, shift selection objectives to meet new market demands, and adapt to new environments. For the past 50 years combined breeding entities have successfully made U.S. genetics globally preeminent -- increasing food security and providing marketing opportunities for U.S. breeders. With a range of new selection tools and methods to employ this is an opportune time to pause, reflect and plan how genetic diversity and inbreeding might be managed in such a way that further advances U.S. genetics for the greater good. Led by the USDA National Animal Germplasm Program, this Discover Conference is one part of a comprehensive approach to address the issue of genetic diversity. The goal of these activities is to promote a shift in how breeding, genetic improvement and genetic diversity are viewed and used in an intensive agricultural sector found in countries like the United States. Discover 42 participants, and in particular graduate students, are encouraged to submit a short abstract that describes new and innovative research findings relating to the conference program:.
Conference Topics
The call for poster abstracts is now open from the DC42 web site. “Quality Standards for Abstracts” and an “Abstract template” are there as well. Deadline to submit a title and brief abstract is 11:59 PM CDT on March 1, 2022. Abstract presentations are limited to in-person attendees and will take place in poster format on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 in Naperville, Illinois.
Who should attend: Various stakeholders in the breeding industry including breed associations, companies selling dairy and livestock genetics, companies developing and selling genomic technology, university scientists, and government agencies are all encouraged to participate. We want to extend a special invitation to dairy producers and breeders to attend this conference to lend their unique insights to the discussion. Graduate students and early career professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
The Early Registration Deadline is March 18, 2022. Registration fees increase by $100 after March 18. Click here for additional information.

• Data Assisted Reproductive Management and Automation
• New Frontiers in Genetics and ARTs (Assisted Reproductive Technologies)
• The Future of Reproduction in Dairy Farming in a Changing World
Who Should Attend: Reproductive physiologists and other scientists with a research focus on reproduction of dairy cattle are encouraged to attend. Additionally, professionals from academia and companies, veterinarians, private consultants, producers, dairy managers, and others with stakes in dairy reproduction would benefit from this interactive program. Graduate students and early-career professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
Early Registration Deadline: April 29, 2022
Registration fees increase by $100 after April 29.
