Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the USDA will not reopen the Dairy Margin Coverage program sign-up. “We chose not to do that, because it’s an insurance program. We literally begged people to sign up last year,” said Perdue. “The DMC is an insurance program, just like the safety net for crops. It doesn’t make any sense to have an insurance program and allow people to retroactively add coverage after they need it.”
