Dairy Farmer Support: Changes to Insurance Program

This act modifies the dairy farmer insurance program, making it easier for them to access financial support during difficult times. The limit for milk production covered by lower premiums is increased, potentially benefiting larger farms. The method for calculating production history is also changed, which may affect future payouts.
Key points
Increased milk production limit for lower premiums from 5 million to 6 million pounds, potentially reducing insurance costs for larger farms.
Changed calculation of milk production history from 2011-2013 to "most recent three-year history, calculated once every five years," which may better reflect current farm situations.
Potential for increased financial stability for dairy farmers through better alignment of the insurance program with their current needs.
