Changes coming to the MPP Dairy Program

April 9, 2018


Significant changes to the Margin Protection Program for dairy producers were made in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. The Farm Service Agency has recently announced new implementation rules to accommodate the changes. Mark Stephenson and Andrew Novakovic, from the University of Wisconsin and Cornell University, will conduct a webinar to walk you through these changes and to assess impacts on producers who participate. The webinar will be hosted by Farm Credit East. 

The webinar will be  limited to the first 500 registered attendees.  

You can register for the webinar at https://DairyMarkets.org/register/ 

The webinar will be recorded and made available as an online stream after it is presented live.
