Dairy Margin Protection Program, Futures and Options for the Milk and Feed Markets and Market

Update

In 2016, the second educational program offered as part of Master Dairy Producer will focus on aspects of financial planning and margin protection. Farmers interested in becoming a certified “Master Dairy Producer” will need to attend 2 of the various programs offered during 2016. We anticipate this certification will satisfy the educational component for those intending to apply for the 50% cost share through the TAEP program.
