USDA's Farm Service Agency extended efforts to help dairy farmers enroll in the 2018 MPP-Dairy program before a June 1 deadline. Farmers electing $7 to $8 per cwt margin coverage are guaranteed indemnity payments for February through April milk production.

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.
