A dairy cooperative is supporting proposed changes to the Dairy Margin Coverage program.
Jeff Lyon with FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative tells Brownfield the Dairy Farm Resiliency Act would make two major changes. “One has to do with making changes to production histories to update those so they more accurately reflect production levels where dairy farms are at, and then the other one is to make an incremental increase from the five million pound volume at tier one up to about six million pounds.”
Lyon says the Dairy Margin Coverage program has been effective, but needs the updates.
