Dairy farming comes with enough uncertainties—don’t let market volatility be one of them. As dairy producers navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2025, the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is once again offering a vital safety net through the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program. With the enrollment period open until March 31, 2025, now is the time to take action and ensure your operation is protected against unpredictable market conditions.
Why Enroll in DMC?
Market volatility is an unavoidable reality, but financial stability doesn’t have to be. FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux emphasizes the significance of safety-net programs like DMC.
“Our safety-net programs provide critical financial protections against commodity market volatilities for many American farmers, so don’t delay enrollment,” he says.
This program acts as a crucial buffer, shielding dairy producers when the gap between the all-milk price and the average feed price falls below a selected margin. In uncertain times, securing coverage through DMC can make the difference between stability and financial strain.
