Dairy MPP sign-up deadline November 28
A reminder for dairy producers the deadline to sign-up for the Margin Protection Program is November 28th. There are several on-line worksheets available to help producers determine what level of coverage would be best for their operation should they decide to participate. The National Milk Producers Federation has a worksheet available on their website as does the University of Missouri.
Sue Hunter with the Wisconsin Farm Service Agency says even if you have not made that determination yet, you should get your 2011-through-2013 milk production numbers together and make an appointment with your FSA office. “If you miss this deadline you will not be eligible for the 2014-2015 loss coverage.”
USDA also has a comment period open through this Tuesday, October 28th for any suggestions regarding the rules and regulations for the program.
