Dairy Farm Resiliency Act
HR 294, the Dairy Farm Resiliency Act, amends the Dairy Margin Coverage Program to adjust eligibility and coverage limits. It changes the required production history from specific years (2011-2013) to the most recent three-year period, updated every five years. The bill also increases the premium coverage threshold from $5 million to $6 million for both Tier I and Tier II program participants. This directly affects dairy farmers enrolled in the federal margin coverage program by expanding their potential coverage limits and simplifying eligibility calculations.
