Madison, Wisconsin, May 1, 2012 – The Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies (ACSESS) is pleased to announce it has reached a publishing agreement with the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS). This partnership, newly formed by ACSESS, will provide state of the art publication processes, along with the management and support to best advance the value, image, and marketing of ASAS publications.
