Missoulian: Deal reached for stopping spike in milk prices
“Establishes a dairy production margin protection program
under which participating dairy operations are paid: (1) basic production
margin protection program payments when production margins are less than
threshold levels, and (2) supplemental production margin protection program
payments if purchased by a participating dairy operation.
Provides for a transition period under which the dairy
production margin protection program and the milk income loss program shall
both be in existence and producers may participate in either program.”
