USDA’s actions on gene-edited approvals challenged in court
In May 2020, the previous administration’s USDA issued its final rule to modernize agricultural biotechnology regulations. Of note was revised regulations for evaluating new technologies developed using gene editing. Now environmental groups challenged the decision to eliminate some of the regulatory requirements for genetically engineered organisms including future GE crops, trees and grasses.

Barometer shows producer sentiment holds steady
The Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer leveled off after two months of sharp declines, down just 3 points to a reading of 134 in July. Both producers' sentiment regarding current and future conditions also dropped. The Index of Current Conditions was down 6 points to a reading of 143, primarily as a result of weakened principal crop prices. The Index of Future Expectations was down 2 points to a reading of 130. The Ag Economy Barometer is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. This month's survey was conducted between July 19-23, 2021.

ADSA Selects Jerry Bowman as New Executive Director
The American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) has selected Jerry Bowman as its new executive director. Bowman, who currently serves as executive director of the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association, will start work at ADSA on September 13, 2021.
"I couldn't be more pleased to welcome Jerry aboard," said ADSA President Paul Kindstedt. "Along with a wealth of experience in association management, Jerry brings an award-winning ability to communicate the importance of science to multiple audiences. He also brings expertise in diversity and inclusion, educational content creation to attract students and early career individuals, and a global perspective through international partnerships. We believe his ability to work with a variety of stakeholders combined with his positive perspective will serve our association with distinction."
In his current role at the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association, Bowman is responsible for the trade association's overall strategy, staff management, and operations. Prior to this position, he served as vice president of communications at the Institute of Food Technologists, with strategic oversight of marketing, media relations, organizational communications, and publishing. He also held positions as senior director of corporate communications at NSF International, vice president of the Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships Foundation, director of public relations at the High Scope Educational Research Foundation, and director of public relations at the American Academy of Pediatrics. Bowman holds a master's degree in journalism from Columbia College Chicago and a bachelor's degree in telecommunications from Michigan State University.
"It's a great honor to serve as ADSA's next executive director, and I truly look forward to working closely with the board and all members to advance the association's mission and strategic plan in the years ahead," said Bowman. "There's an incredible opportunity to share the story of ADSA members and the dairy industry so that everyone has a greater understanding of the critical role that dairy science plays in fulfilling the needs of a growing world population."

More from the ADSA 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting
Please join us on August 18, 2021, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. (EDT) for our first webinar in the ADSA 2021 Annual Meeting Fall Webinar Series: "The Future of Probiotics."
Probiotic bacteria, particularly lactobacilli, play an important role in human health. Recently, the lactobacilli taxonomy underwent extensive revision, including the addition of 23 new genera, which will have a significant impact on future research and regulatory approaches. Fermented dairy products are an important delivery system for probiotic cultures. The pairing of probiotic cultures with fermented dairy products appears to have synergistic benefits for gut health and allows new opportunities for optimization. In addition, prophages have been shown to play an important role in the ecology of probiotic cultures in vivo. In this symposium, we will explore recent developments in understanding Lactobacillus taxonomy, the role of prophages, and the synergism of probiotic cultures and milk and the effect of this synergism on activity in the human digestive tract. Speakers include M. Ganzle, M. Marco, and P. van Pijkeren.
This webinar is the first of six in the Fall Webinar Series. If you registered for the 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting, you already have access to all six; check your email for a promotional code that was emailed separately.

Join us for the 40th ADSA Discover Conference on NASEM Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle
Due to continued COVID-19 related travel and gathering uncertainties coupled with delays with the NASEM publication the dates for this 40th ADSA Discover, NASEM Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle, were changed to August 30-September 2, 2021. The conference is being held as a hybrid program. Interest has been very high and both the in-person and virtual participation options have sold out. A waiting list is being maintained for both live in-person and live virtual participation registrations, but we encourage all potential registrants to consider the Recordings Only option. This provides convenient access to recordings of speaker presentations for viewing on your own schedule. Click here for “Online Registration” and current options. We are looking forward to having you participate in our August program. We are here to help you however we can with questions and requests for support. Contact conference coordinator Molly Kelley or conference director Larry Miller with questions.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM, previously known as NRC) anticipates the 2021 release of the eighth revised edition of “Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle,” the world’s most highly cited reference on dairy cattle feeding. The expectation is that final release of all chapters will be after this conference. This DiscoverSM Conference will focus on the scientific advancements in dairy cattle feeding used to revise the 2001 edition. The NASEM subcommittee members will address the substantive changes in the nutrient requirements and the conceptual approaches used to make those changes. Participants will hear reports on areas with significant knowledge gaps that still prevent more accurate prediction of the nutrient requirements. Emphasizing the interactive spirit of Discover Conferences, the agenda will incorporate structured small group discussions, including a demonstration of the software and focused discussions with the speakers. The program will bridge the fundamental science to applied dairy cattle feeding.
Conference Topics
- Feed Intake, Fats, Carbohydrates, and Energy
- Proteins and Amino Acids
- Minerals, Vitamins, and Water
- Dry Cows, Calves, and Replacement Heifers
- Using the Model
- Application of the New Requirements
Expanding to a hybrid conference format allows us to offer meaningful collaboration among our colleagues throughout the world in the manner that best meets individual needs. We hope that you will join us for this redesigned event and celebrate our collective resilience and dedication to forging connections without boundaries.
Please note: ARPAS will allow up to 15 Continuing Education Units based on contact hours and content for ARPAS members participating in this Discover Conference®. Participating ARPAS members may obtain credit for their participation by using the ARPAS website.
