A Pennsylvania risk management specialist outlined dairy margin protection options through USDA's LGM-Dairy program during the June sales period. Expected MPP-Dairy margins for May-June were projected at $5.90 per hundredweight, with an indemnity of about $0.60 per hundredweight for producers insured at $6.50.
Rising milk futures improve forecast margins under the MPP-Dairy program, reducing the need for indemnity payments. Farm risk management choices affect how much milk producers may hold or cut.
