Congress gets more time to work on livestock price reporting
At the start of the month, Senate and House lawmakers approved another short-term funding bill that keeps government programs, including USDA’s twice-daily reporting of livestock data, going until Feb. 18, 2022. And as Congress looks to finalize cattle reform legislation, the House advanced on Dec. 8 its own one-year extension of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act to provide more time to reach agreement on the role of government in cattle markets.

Support ADSA Foundation and next generation of dairy scientists
We know that many dairy professionals are able to cite specific ways in which their membership in ADSA has helped advance their careers and better their lives. We hope that is true of each of our more established members. As we look to the future we invite you to help make this the case for generations of dairy scientists to come.
We invite you to support the ADSA Foundation 2022 Annual Fund Campaign. The campaign is designed to accomplish the following:
- Support undergraduate and graduate student participation in our meetings (Student Affiliate Division and Graduate Student Division activities at the ADSA Annual Meeting and throughout the year, plus travel awards to help graduate students attend the ADSA Discover Conferences)
- Fund the ADSA Foundation Scholar Awards in Dairy Production and Dairy Foods, The Genevieve Christen Distinguished Undergraduate Student Award, and the Graduate Student Literature Review Award
- Ensure the capacity of the Foundation to act in accordance with its mission as opportunities arise
We encourage all professional and corporate members to take a moment now to contribute to one or more of our eight ADSA Foundation funds. Simply decide to donate (no amount is too small), and then click here to go to the ADSA donations page, where you can contribute with your personal or company credit card. Alternatively, you can contribute by check, using the fillable PDF form. A receipt for your tax records will be provided for either payment method.
Please help us help others realize the career- and life-changing benefits that membership in our society has provided for more than a century, built on the success of members like you!
If you are not currently a member we still invite your support of the Foundation, but, why not become a member now and take advantage of all the Benefits of Membership for the remainder of 2021 and all of 2022 for only $110?
