Rapid, low-temperature process adds to milk's shelf life
A rapid heating and cooling of milk significantly reduces the amount of harmful bacteria present, extending by several weeks the shelf life of one of the most common refrigerator staples in the world, according to a Purdue University study. Bruce Applegate, Purdue associate professor in the department of food science, along with collaborators from Purdue and the University of Tennessee, published their findings in the journal SpringerPlus, where they show that increasing the temperature of milk by 10 degrees for less than a second eliminates more than 99% of the bacteria left behind after pasteurization. "It's an add-on to pasteurization, but it can add shelf life of up to five, six or seven weeks to cold milk," Applegate said. Pasteurization, which removes significant amounts of harmful pathogens that can cause illness and eventually spoil dairy products, is considered a high-temperature, short-duration method. Developed by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century, the treatment gives milk a shelf life of about two to three weeks.

Politics divide Americans on food issues
The ideal presidential candidate is not the only thing Americans have a hard time agreeing on. An ideological rift exists on certain food issues, too.
The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation's "2016 Food & Health Survey: Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Safety, Nutrition & Health " examines how consumers differ in their attitudes on food issues. The results show that conservatives and liberals differ in their attitudes toward sustainability, trust in government for food-related information and top food safety issues.
"The '2016 Food & Health Survey' marks the 11th edition of an ongoing investigation into the beliefs and behaviors of Americans," said Kimberly Reed, president of the IFIC Foundation. "We are seeing a growing national food dialogue, and Americans are hungry for more information about nutrition and the food system."

Groups comment on FDA risk assessment on manure use
Nine agricultural groups submitted joint comments to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on its proposal to conduct a risk assessment of foodborne illnesses associated with pathogens found in manure applied to land on which produce is grown. The risk assessment could lead to regulation of manure use.
The groups expressed concern that if FDA doesn't have current and emerging scientific research and doesn't consider existing conservation and environmental standards, its decisions on manure use could adversely affect animal agriculture.
Signing on to the letter includes the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Cattlemen's Beef Assn., National Chicken Council, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, National Milk Producers Federation, National Pork Producers Council, National Turkey Federation, United Egg Producers and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Assn.

Lawmakers call on USDA to extend MPP signup
House Agriculture Committee ranking member Rep. Collin Peterson (D., Minn.) and chairman Michael Conaway (R., Texas), along with Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to extend the enrollment period for the dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP) to Dec. 31. In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the lawmakers said extending the signup period would encourage additional participation. "We believe an extension to Dec. 31 should be made permanent to give producers additional time to make informed decisions and to improve program participation," they wrote. Since MPP was created in the 2014 farm bill, milk prices have dropped almost 40%, and cheese stocks now stand at record-high levels. The current enrollment deadline is Sept. 30.

OSTP Seeks Input on Agriculture Workforce Development
On July 20th, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) published a blog post entitled " An Agriculture Workforce for the 21st Century." The post details challenges facing U.S. agriculture, specifically with regards to workforce shortages, and issues a public Call to Action to meet these challenges through targeted investments in food and agriculture education, outreach, and academic research. OSTP is interested in hearing from stakeholders including companies; academic institutions and schools; non-profit organizations; commodity groups; scientists and scientific societies; youth groups; and others on the steps they will take to:
- Address workforce shortages
- Broaden and diversify the agriculture workforce
- Make investments in education and outreach programs
- Support academic research and training
To participate in the OSTP process, e-mail your submission to science@ostp.eop.gov by August 31, 2016 and include "Ag Workforce" in the subject line.
Sponsorship Opportunities for Large Dairy Herd Management (3rd edition, e-book)
Nonprofit organizations, companies, and individuals are invited to take advantage of the opportunity to sponsor one or more of the remaining available sections of the Large Dairy Herd Management (LDHM) e-book currently in development. Sponsors will receive recognition for a three-year period as the e-book is used throughout the dairy industry worldwide. The ADSA® Foundation is publishing this extensively revised and updated edition of the book in early 2017.
The third edition (98 chapters) will be available in e-book format (designed to allow for convenient updating) with completely new content. It will be sold at ADSA member, nonmember, and student rates and distributed directly by ADSA.
Anticipated users of the e-book include dairy management professionals, progressive producers, extension educators, consultants, upper-level university students studying dairy science and management, and allied industry representatives. The book is written in a practical application style but reflects the scientific rigor of the Journal of Dairy Science®.
As an e-book sponsor, you will receive international recognition for supporting the delivery of up-to-date, peer-reviewed dairy management information to the global dairy industry. Initial e-book section sponsors will have right of first refusal to renew after the initial three-year period of recognition. For information on sponsorship and the worldwide recognition it will bring, please contact Larry Miller at largedairyherdmanagement@adsa.org
