text: <p><strong> Dairy Farm Resiliency Act </strong></p><p>This bill updates the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program. (The DMC program was enacted in the 2018 farm bill to support dairy operations by allowing producers to buy a guaranteed margin for their milk production. The margin is the difference between the Department of Agriculture's [USDA's] national all milk price and a calculated feed cost, which provides producers optional risk protection on price and feed costs.)</p><p>The bill requires that a dairy operation's production history for DMC be based on the most recent three-year history and be recalculated every five years. (A participating dairy producer must have an established milk production history with USDA's Farm Service Agency.) </p><p>The bill also increases Tier 1 margin coverage for annual milk production to 6 million pounds or less (currently 5 million pounds or less) and Tier 2 margin coverage to over 6 million pounds (currently over 5 million pounds).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><!--tinycomments|2.1|data:application/json;base64,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-->
