Dairy Margin Coverage Signup Deadline is This Friday

ARLINGTON, VA – The deadline for Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program signup is nearing and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) is urging producers to visit their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices to take advantage of programs meant to provide risk management tools for farmers and provide some relief against financial hardship. Signup for 2020 coverage runs through Friday (December 13, 2019). The popular DMC program, which paid dairy farmers more than $308 million in benefits for 2019, offers insurance against low prices and high feed costs. All farmers who signed up for 2019 are encouraged to re-enroll for 2020. Farmers who elected to enroll for the full five-year life of the program need to visit their FSA office to keep their information current for the upcoming year.
