Dairy producers can now enroll for 2023 coverage through the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) Program.
Last year, USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) took steps to improve coverage, especially for small- and mid-sized dairies, including offering a new Supplemental DMC program and updating its feed cost formula to better address retroactive, current and future feed costs.
DMC is a voluntary risk management program that offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed price (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer.
For more information on DMC, visit the DMC webpage or contact your local USDA Service Center.
