Dairy farmers would get updated production history and higher premium limits for their Dairy Margin Coverage program.
This bill would help dairy farmers by updating how their production history is calculated for a key government insurance program. It would also increase the amount of milk that qualifies for certain premium levels. These changes aim to make the program more responsive to current farm operations.
Today, the Dairy Margin Coverage program uses a dairy farm's production history from 2011, 2012, or 2013. Its premium tiers are also set at a threshold of 5,000,000 pounds of milk. If this bill becomes law, the program would use the farm's most recent three-year production history, updated every five years. Additionally, the premium tier threshold would increase to 6,000,000 pounds of milk for both Tier I and Tier II.
