USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue released an update on implementing the 2018 Farm Bill, covering dairy margin programs such as MPP-Dairy and DMC. The update reports retroactive enrollment payouts and premium refunds to dairy producers.
Dairy margin support reduces pressure on milk production cuts, so the update has limited direct effect on feed demand or prices.
After 93 past neutral policy events, Milk (Class III) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.6%), and +0.2% over 20.
