SUMMARY:“Protecting Your Profits\, Protecting Your Margin with DMC”
DESCRIPTION:Date:	Friday\, March 22\, 2024\nTime:	12-1 p.m. EST\nLocation:	Live Webinar: www.centerfordairyexcellence.org/MarchPYP\nEvent Host:\nCenter for Dairy Excellence and USDA \nWant to receive a simple reminder the morning of the webinar? Consider signing up for text alerts. We’ll text you a reminder the morning of the event and include the webinar link and dial-in details. Text “Sign up” to 717-585-0766.\nThe Center for Dairy Excellence is hosting a special “Protecting Your Profits” webinar on Friday\, March 22 from 12-1 p.m. Titled “Protecting Your Profits\, Protecting Your Margin with DMC” and led by Jayne Sebright\, Executive Director at the Center\, the webinar will feature Cynthia Walters\, Agricultural Program Specialist with the USDA. Walters will provide an overview of changes in the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) Program for 2024. With the Farm Bill extended through December\, DMC enrollment is now open\, with dairy farmers having until April 29 to enroll in the margin-based insurance coverage program. The DMC margin has already been announced for January at $8.48 per hundredweight\, yielding a $1.02 indemnity payment for those farms that choose a $9.50 coverage level. \nIn 2023\, farms that enrolled in the DMC Program had an added layer of protection when milk prices fell to very low levels during the summer months. While futures prices do currently appear better than where they were in 2023\, there is still a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace. Protecting your dairy against margin risks is an essential tool in managing your business throughout 2024. \nIn addition to the 2024 DMC updates\, Jayne Sebright will provide a short recap on where dairy markets are and what factors could influence the margins going forward in 2024. \nIndividuals can join via conference call\, webinar\, or podcast format.
