Drought-stricken livestock producers faced with tough decisions
With over 70% of the American West, Southwest and Northern Plains categorized in D3 (severe) drought or higher since June, livestock producers are forced to try to determine how to feed their animals with short supplies or liquidate herds.
That same region accounts for one-third, or $128 billion, of total U.S. agricultural production by value. This includes 31% of beef cattle and cows, responsible for 18% of U.S. agricultural production by value, and 45% of dairy production, representing 11% of total ag production value.

Syngenta, The Nature Conservancy partner with U.S. dairy industry
The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, Syngenta and The Nature Conservancy announced the next phase of a cross-industry collaboration with dairy farmers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality and strengthen farm resilience.
The collaboration aims to develop a replicable program and toolset to scale the adoption of best management practices in feed/forage production and feed efficiency. Since launching last spring, the group has been working with Wisconsin-based dairy farmers who belong to the Foremost Farms USA dairy cooperative, which has approximately 1,000 member-owners across seven Midwest states, with support from Nestlé. The team is actively working to expand to more states, with the goal of increasing the number of participating farms each year.

The American Dairy Science Association® (ADSA) and Elsevier are delighted to announce that Journal of Dairy Science® (JDS) will become a gold open access (OA) journal with the January 2022 issue.
This means that authors who publish in JDS can make their work immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide. JDS authors will pay an article publishing charge (APC), have a choice of license options, and retain copyright to their published work. This change is very beneficial to authors because OA provides readers free and immediate access to scientific research and enables our authors greater opportunity to disseminate their work to the benefit of the academic community and the dairy industry.
The APC for ADSA’s professional members will be $1000 for papers submitted for peer review through January 31, 2022. Non-members who submit a paper through November 11, 2021, will also be granted a transition APC of $1000 to publish. To learn about becoming an ADSA member and receiving a discounted APC, visit https://www.adsa.org/Membership/Benefits-of-Membership
. The full APC rate for non-members will be $3500.
For papers submitted February 1, 2022, or later, the APC for ADSA professional members will be $1600.

2022 ADSA Annual Meeting Call for Abstracts
The abstract submission site for the 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting is open! You can now 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 to submit an abstract to the ADSA Annual Meeting.
ADSA 2022 will be an in-person meeting!
Again in 2022: 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 and 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 17, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. (CST).
The 2022 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 2021, and meeting registration will be available in early February 2022.
The 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting scientific program will feature 1,200 oral and poster presentations from around the globe. Make sure yours is included, as 2,000 scientists from 50 countries meet virtually and in-person in vibrant Kansas City, Missouri. Benefit from symposia, workshops, and preconference events presented by the world’s leading animal and dairy scientists. Topics will 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.
