Abstract

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).
