Dual Participation in Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy and Dairy Margin Coverage
The Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program, administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy policy (LGM-Dairy), administered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA), offer similar risk management protection for dairy producers. On December 20, 2018, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 was signed into law, allowing producers to participate in both programs.
Producers interested in purchasing coverage should contact a crop insurance agent to sign up for LGM-Dairy. A list of agents can be found on the RMA website: www.rma.usda.gov/.
