WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency administrator Juan M. Garcia has announced the extension of the Milk Income Loss Contract program.
The extended MILC protects dairy farmers enrolled in the program against income loss through Sept. 1, 2014, or until a new Margin Protection Program for dairy producers, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, is operational.
Contracts for eligible producers enrolled in MILC on or before Sept. 30, 2013, are automatically extended until the termination date of the MILC program.
Since MILC payments are limited to a maximum amount of milk production each fiscal year, dairy operations may select a production start month other than October 2013 (the start of fiscal year 2014). Producers who want to select a different production start month must visit their local FSA office between April 14, 2014, and May 30, 2014.
For more information, contact a local FSA county office or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
