Dairy Margin Coverage is a voluntary risk management program that was established in the 2018 farm bill. Associated Milk Producers Incorporated Vice President of Marketing Sarah Schmidt says DMC works, but changes are needed. “Right now, dairy farmers can only insure the pounds of milk that their farm produced back in 2011, 2012 and 2013; that’s dated production information and we’d love to see that brought up to date.” On the sidelines of World Dairy Expo, Schmidt said AMPI would also like the volume levels for DMC program to be increased.
