Dairy Producers Can Enroll for 2024 Dairy Margin Coverage Through April 29th
Starting February 28th, 2024, dairy producers will be able to enroll for 2024 Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC), an important safety net program offered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides producers with price support to help offset milk and feed price differences.
This year’s DMC signup begins Feb. 28, 2024, and ends April 29, 2024. For those who sign up for 2024 DMC coverage, payments may begin as soon as March 4, 2024, for any payments that triggered in January 2024. For more information on DMC, visit the DMC webpage or contact your USDA FSA County office.
