MN Dairy Producers Can Now Enroll for 2023 Signup for Dairy Margin Coverage

Dairy producers in Minnesota can now enroll for 2023 coverage through the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) Program, an important safety net program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that helps producers manage changes in milk and feed prices.

Last year, USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) took steps to improve coverage, especially for small- and mid-sized dairies, including offering a new Supplemental DMC program and updating its feed cost formula to better address retroactive, current, and future feed costs.

These changes continue to support producers through this year’s signup, which began on Monday, October 17 and will run through December 9, 2022.
