We all know the milk industry has been a “bit” shaky as of late. So I thought I’d share an article I found on Progressive Dairyman, since the industry could use a bit of good news right about now.

Dairy Revenue Protection insurance coverage is due to launch early this October. This will provide dairy farmers with a way to manage income risk next year. You can sign up for this policy starting October 9, 2018. The first available coverage will begin during the first quarter of 2019. This provides dairy farmers with insurance for milk revenues on a quarterly basis.

This policy was developed by the American Farm Bureau Federation and the American Farm Bureau Insurance Services, along with other collaborators. Please keep in mind that farmers who sign up for this are not prevented from continuing with the Margin Protection Program for dairy.

You can select coverage based on component or class-based milk pricing options. Also, one can choose to select the amount of milk production that will be covered and the revenue coverage level. For more information, read the full article here.
