Dairy farmers faced a December 20 deadline to enroll in the 2020 Dairy Margin Coverage program after the USDA extended it by a week. The US-China phase one trade deal, announced December 13, could affect both feed costs and milk income but its details were not yet available.
Phase one is expected to be signed in early January.
