The Dairy Margin Coverage program will use a farm's recent three-year production history instead of decade-old data. The premium tier cutoff rises from 5 million to 6 million pounds of milk, giving mid-size farms better access to lower-cost coverage.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Dairy Farm Resiliency Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit.
Latest action on H.R. 294: Referred to the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit.
Who this affects: This bill primarily affects dairy farmers who participate in or are eligible for the Dairy Margin Coverage program, especially those whose operations have changed significantly since 2011-2013. Mid-size farms producing near the 5-6 million pound range stand to see the most immediate impact on their premium costs.
Why this matters: The Dairy Margin Coverage program is a key safety net that helps dairy farmers survive periods when feed costs outpace milk prices. Using production data from over a decade ago means many farms are either over- or under-covered relative to what they actually produce. This bill attempts to close that gap so the program works as intended for today's dairy industry.
