Economist explores switching from dairy to beef
Consolidation in the dairy industry led the University of Missouri Extension to help dairy producers switch to beef.
The dairy industry began consolidating after World War II as farms began to specialize in just milking cows, Extension agricultural economist Joe Horner said. The 1960s and 1970s saw more consolidation as fewer dairy farms made the expensive switch from selling milk in cans to bulk tanks.

ADSA Executive Director Search
The American Dairy Science Association (ASDA), located in Champaign, Illinois, is the "Voice of Science" for the global dairy industry. The dairy industry has the potential to contribute to the nutritional needs of every person on earth, yet thousands go hungry. Research, education, and communication can succeed in breaking down the barriers that separate hunger and good nutrition. ADSA and its Foundation are devoted to finding the most efficient, productive, and prosperous supply of dairy products to feed the people of the world.
Created in 1906 with 19 charter members, ADSA today serves 3,000 student, professional, and corporate members in 60 countries, who are connected by the mission to advance and disseminate science to improve the dairy industry. ADSA's members are academics, scientists, students, and industry representatives from the dairy foods and dairy production sectors.
The ADSA Board of Directors seeks an executive director who will manage research, education, and knowledge-sharing programs and services that advance the vision, mission, and values of ADSA and its Foundation. Operating in a highly collegial and inclusive environment, the executive director will report to the ADSA Board of Directors in coordination with the ADSA president.
Ideal candidates will have at least five years of association or related business management experience, with a deep appreciation for the dairy industry and science-based solutions for economic, environmental, and social challenges. A successful record of working with a volunteer board of directors and sound financial management are required. A strategic, member-centric, and collaborative leadership style is important. A bachelor's degree is required; an advanced degree, particularly in science, is desirable. Leadership experience in a scientific organization and proven ability to manage headquarters office operations are desirable.

Abstract submission site for 2020 ADSA Annual Meeting 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.
Again in 2020-Platform Sessions. 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 deadline for abstract submission is February 20, 2020, at 11:59 pm (CST).
The
2020 ADSA Annual Meeting website will be updated frequently with the latest meeting information, so bookmark the site and visit often. Housing will open in November 2019, and meeting registration will be available in early February 2020.
The 2020 ADSA Annual Meeting scientific program will feature 1,200 oral and poster presentations from around the globe. Make sure yours is included, as 1,900 scientists from 50 countries meet in beautiful West Palm Beach, Florida. Benefit from symposia, workshops, and preconference events presented by the world's leading animal and dairy scientists. Topics include dairy food science, dairy production, animal health and well-being, animal and human nutrition, food safety, and production and management. As always, the success of the ADSA Annual Meeting begins with the quality of the science presented-we look forward to your contributions to this global gathering of animal and dairy scientists.
