Pent-up inflation will drive food costs even higher
With a gallon of milk up about 25% since before the pandemic, and retail bacon 35% higher, it’s hard to imagine how U.S. food inflation could get any worse. But evidence suggests that even higher prices are on the horizon.
Consumers have actually been shielded so far from the full brunt of soaring expenses that are facing producers, distributors and small businesses like restaurants. But they can only hold back for so much longer.

Canada still falling short on USMCA dairy commitments
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said he told his Canadian counterpart that the U.S. is greatly disappointed with the proposed changes suggested by the Government of Canada to change how dairy tariff rate quotas are allocated under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Vilsack was not prepared to throw his support behind the need for tariffs as the dairy industry is now requesting, but he hopes that Canada will take a different approach to avoid such action.
In January, a USMCA dispute resolution panel initiated by the U.S. found that Canada’s dairy tariff-rate quotas system violates the terms of USMCA. Canada issued a new TRQ proposal in March which included only inconsequential changes. The latest announcement shows no indication that Canada intends to comply with its USMCA commitments on dairy TRQs.

House Ag Committee advances bill to strength U.S. food supply chain
The House Agriculture Committee has voted unanimously to send to the House Floor U.S. Representatives Angie Craig, D-Minn., and Dusty Johnson’s, R-S.D., bipartisan H.R. 7675, Strengthening the Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Act, which would create a dedicated task force designed to shore up the American food supply chain, increase government coordination and provide recommendations to Congress to prevent future supply chain issues. Craig and Johnson introduced the legislation alongside Representatives Cindy Axne, D-Iowa, Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, Cheri Bustos, D-Illi., and Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa.
Craig’s legislation would create a task force at the U.S. Department of Agriculture that would be responsible for evaluating the stability and reliability of the agriculture and food system as well as identifying specific recommendations to improve the security, safety and resilience of the supply chain. The task force would be required to submit a report detailing its work and recommendations to Congress no later than 270 days after the enactment of the bill.

JDS Webinars on ADSANews
Did you miss our recent JDS Webinars or perhaps did you attend, but would like to review what was said? In either case we have good news, recordings of the webinars are now available on our You Tube channel, ADSANews. Very useful information is presented in both.
This webinar will introduce reviewing articles, including filling out the score sheet, writing useful comments for the author, and writing relevant comments to editor. We'll dive into the process of peer review and how writing good reviews can help reviewers write better papers themselves. Watch this webinar and learn some useful information about being a peer reviewer.
Graphical abstracts can be an effective way to communicate the essence of your paper in a way that is eye catching and sharable on social media. These pictorial representations of the main findings from a paper help other scientists and readers quickly identify scholarship of interest to them, increase the views and downloads of an article, and assist authors with effective promotion of their articles on social media. Watch this webinar to learn how to create an effective graphical abstract for your next journal article.

Make plans to join us for the 43rd Discover Conference - Dairy Cattle Reproduction:
Lessons Learned and Future Frontiers
Reproductive management is one of the pillars of sustainable dairy production and continues to evolve rapidly. This conference is designed to gather key individuals involved in dairy cattle reproduction to discuss major recent advancements, current challenges and opportunities, and the future of dairy reproductive biology research and management practices. This conference will contribute not only to identify best practices for implementation on dairy farms but also will help identify important knowledge gaps for guiding future research in this critical area.
The 43rd Discover Conference: Dairy Cattle Reproduction: Lessons Learned and Future Frontiers will be held May 31-June 3, 2022 at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, IL Hosted by the American Dairy Science Association®.
Conference Topics include:
• Translating Basic Biology into Novel Reproductive Management Strategies
• Promoting Reproductive Success Through Improved Health and Nutrition
• 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.
