EUROPE ORGANIZED THE FIRST ECPLF CONFERENCE IN 2003. THIS CONFERENCE IS HELD EVERY 2 YEARS AND HAS RESULTED IN THE TENTH CONFERENCE, THE ECPLF2022,HELD THIS YEAR. THE TEN ECPLF CONFERENCES HAVE GENERATED TEN PROCEEDINGS WITH A TOTAL OF OVER 5,500 PAGES OF PLF PAPERS. THE ECPL2022 IN VIENNA AUSTRIA HAD 360 PARTICIPANTS FROM 26 COUNTRIES. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE US TO CLOSE THE GAP IN SCIENTIFIC INTEREST, AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE LEAD IN IMPLEMENTING PLF TECHNOLOGY. THE US HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF AN EXTENSION SYSTEM THAT CAN HELP ACCELERATE THE FIELD IMPLEMENTATION OF PLF TECHNOLOGIES. THE 1ST U.S. PRECISION LIVESTOCK FARMING SYMPOSIUM WAS HELD IN 2018 IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA. AFTER FIVE YEARS, IT IS OVERDUE FOR A 2ND U.S. PRECISION LIVESTOCK FARMING CONFERENCE TO BE HELD. THE THEME OF THE USPLF 2023 IS THE FIELD IMPLEMENTATION OF PLF SYSTEMS. IF FUNDED, THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE THE SUPPORT REQUIRED TO ENCOURAGE BROADER PARTICIPATION FROM SCIENTISTS, EXTENSION AGENTS AND FARMERS FROM MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS AND UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES. FUNDING WILL ALSO BE USED TO PROVIDE ORGANIZED MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, POSTDOCTORAL PROFESSIONALS AND EARLY CAREER SCIENTISTS.
