MPP-Dairy is a risk management program for dairy producers authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill. It offers protection when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost (margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer.

FSA will explain the eligibility requirements, the registration method, how to establish production history, coverage elections and premiums.

University of Delaware Extension will explain the web based decision making tools, selecting coverage elections and premiums based on projected margins, and will provide hands on help that will enable you to input your information to develop coverage scenarios specific to your dairy operation.

For further information, or if you need special accommodations, contact: Lynn Manges (302)678-4253 or Dan Severson (302)831-8860
