National Milk Producers Federation Vice President of Economic Policy and Market Research Peter Vitaliano says the Dairy Margin Coverage program was a surprise this past year. “Going into this year, it looked like there were not going to be payments and that turned out not to be the case.” Chris Galen, who is the senior vice president of membership services and strategic initiatives for NMPF, said farmers participating in the five-year version of the Dairy Margin Coverage program are facing an important deadline. “You still have to contact the FSA office by the end of this week to fill out the paperwork for the next year and pay the administrative fees.” Class III milk prices are expected to grind lower going into 2021 and feed costs will remain high.
