Program Description

The Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Diary) is a voluntary program that helps dairy producers protect the financial “margin” between milk prices and the feed costs incurred to produce that milk. Dairy producers can choose among: (1) catastrophic coverage, at no cost to the producer, other than an annual $100 administrative fee; and (2) various levels of buy-up coverage. Catastrophic coverage provides payments to participating producers of dairy operations when the national dairy production margin (defined as the difference between the national all-milk price and average feed costs) is less than $4.00 per hundredweight (cwt) and cover 90% of the production history. Producers may purchase buy-up coverage that provides payments when margins are between $4.00 and $8.00 per cwt., and a coverage percentage of their existing production history. To participate in buy-up coverage, a producer must pay a premium that varies with the level of protection the producer elects. To receive coverage, a producer must enroll annually; pay the administrative fee, and premiums, as applicable.

Program Requirements

Produce and commercially market milk from cows located in the United States.
Provide proof of milk production at the time of registration.

Be in compliance with Highly Erodible Land and wetland conservation provisions.
