DMC has new sign-up deadline of September 27th

USDA Under Secretary Bill Northey says sign-up for the Dairy Margin Coverage program is being extended by one week.

Northey told members of two House ag subcommittees this morning that the deadline will be September 27th instead of September 20th, “Our FSA offices have and will continue to make the extra effort to make sure producers are aware of the approaching deadline. We made phone calls and sent out postcards and emails. Additionally, producer organizations and cooperatives have been important partners in sharing program information and deadlines and we’ll continue to work with them to do so with this new deadline.”

Northey told lawmakers that as of Wednesday, more than 21-thousand producers had enrolled in the DMC with about $230-Million dollars paid.
