The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) continues to remind dairy producers that signup for the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program runs until Feb. 18, 2022. DMC enables producers to get coverage through this important safety-net program for another year as well as get additional assistance through the new Supplemental DMC.
National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) Senior Vice President of Communications, Alan Bjerga, recently discussed the enhanced benefits under DMC during an interview with RFD-TV.
Bjerga looks at the eligibility requirements for dairy producers interested in DMC.
To determine the appropriate level of DMC coverage for a specific dairy operation, producers can use the online dairy decision tool.
