The Dairy Margin Coverage Program offers voluntary risk management for U.S. dairy producers by providing financial assistance when the margin between milk prices and feed costs falls below selected coverage levels. It includes catastrophic and higher coverage options for an annual premium. Eligible dairy operations must provide production history and comply with conservation regulations. Enrollment requires application submission to local FSA offices and annual certification for multi-year coverage.
Eligible applicants are U.S. dairy operations that produce and commercially market milk from cows. Applicants must provide production records to establish history and comply with conservation regulations.
