Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Dairy: The Other Dairy Safety Net Solution
2014
With all the attention on the new Margin Protection Program for Dairy Producers (MPP) let us not forget about Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Dairy Cattle (LGM-Dairy). Similar to MPP, LGM-Dairy is also a USDA risk management instrument which offers protection against declines in average dairy income-over-feed-cost (IOFC) margins. Introduced in 2008, LGM-Dairy is an insurance product overseen by USDA’s Risk Management Agency. Like crop insurance, LGM-Dairy is sold by private insurance agents and underwritten by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (for a complete description of LGM-Dairy rules see here).
