Dairy farmers who enrolled in FSA Dairy Margin Coverage program are starting to receive their benefits.
DMC kicks in when there is a gap income over feed cost margin and the amount of coverage the producer selects. For example, if a dairy operation that has three million pounds of production enrolled under the $9.50 coverage level on 95% of production and the income over feed cost margin was $8.85 per hundredweight, they would receive $1,543.75. DMC is part of the 2018 Farm Bill that will replace the Margin Protection Program for Dairy. For more information on how to enroll visit this story at KCIIRadio.com.
