The House Committee on Agriculture will convene a Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, September 29, at 10:00 a.m. to review research innovations achieved by our nation’s agricultural colleges and universities.
The Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research is chaired by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) and Susan DelBene (D-WA). This hearing will allow for members of Congress to learn about innovative agricultural research being done at our nation’s agricultural colleges and universities, in which many of these projects are funded through federal research programs.
Witnesses are also prepared to discuss the policy challenges facing the research community, such as extension and outreach, mechanisms to leverage federal resources, cooperation between the various institutions, and other issues of importance to the community. Testifying at the hearing, and of particular interest to the chicken industry, is Dr. Michael P. Lacy, Professor and Department Head, Department of Poultry Science at the University of Georgia in Athens.
