Ron Kind Encourages Dairy Farmers to Sign Up for Risk-Management Program Ahead of Dec. 11 Deadline | 2020-11-18 | 2020 | 2020-11 | Democrat | Senate | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC Today,Rep. Ron Kindencouraged Wisconsin dairy farmers to sign up for the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program for 2021 ahead of the December 11 deadline. The program offers protection for dairy farmers when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. Interested dairy farmers can visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency'sDMC webpagefor more information, or contact theirlocal FSA office. Here in America's Dairyland, our farmers are not only the backbone of our state and local economies, but also the heart of our communities, saidRep. Ron Kind. However, this year has been incredibly difficult for Wisconsin dairy farmers due to COVID-19. As the farming community continues to cope with the effects of this pandemic and faceother ongoingchallenges, I encourage folks to take advantage of this program. Get in touch with your local FSA office to learn more and sign up by December 11. Earlier this year, Rep. Kind introduced hisFamily Farm Rescue Planwhich focused on five concrete steps the Administration could take to support family farmers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including reopening the DMC program. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
