Minnesota Milk Producers Association Executive Director Lucas Sjostrom says the omnibus agriculture bill was short of their original ask of $10 million for the DAIRI program. However, Sjostrom said he is pleased with the final bill. “Rebates for the Dairy Margin Coverage Program was our main focus on this bill. Considering everything working against us including a relatively small amount of money compared to the general Minnesota budget in this surplus year, we’re very happy.” This rebate program in Minnesota has shown increased enrollment in the federal program.
