2014 Farm Bill Margin Protection Plan (MPP) Webinars

September 23, 2014


The Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy) is a voluntary risk management program for dairy producers authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill through Dec. 31, 2018. The MPP-Dairy offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer.

The SCNY Dairy & Field Crops Team will be hosting webinars to get producers familiarized with MPP. They will be at 4 locations from 1-3 pm:
4-H Building, Chemung County Fairgrounds, 170 Fairview Rd, Horseheads
CCE Tioga, 105 Main St, Owego
CCE Tompkins, 615 Willow Ave, Ithaca
CCE Cortland, 60 Central Ave, Cortland, also at 7-9 pm.
