Dairy Margin Coverage Program Sign-Up Begining October 13

The USDA reminds Northeast Texas dairymen that the 2021 enrollment for the Dairy Margin Coverage program opens on Tuesday, October 13, and runs through December 11. The DMC offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost falls below a specific dollar amount selected by the producer. The USDA also enhanced the dairy decision tool to help producers choose the appropriate level of coverage. For more information, contact the local USDA Farm Service Agency.
