Marin Bozic Midwest Dairy Expo St. Cloud, MN November 27-28, 2012
Plan for today • Big changes I: What Goes Away • Big changes II: What’s Coming Up • Income over Feed Costs Margins • Margin Insurance • Stabilization Program
New federal dairy policy - timeline • September 2011: Rep. Peterson introduces Dairy Security Act of 2011 • May 2012: Senate passes S3240 (Senate version of Farm bill) • July 2012: House Ag. Committee passes HR 6083 (House version of Farm bill) • August 2012: The country goes crazy until elections are over • This week: Some movement finally?
Discontinued programs • Dairy Products Price Support Program – as of December 31, 2012 • Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) – gone as of October 1, 2012
No more price floors – milk powder prices will integrate with the rest of the world
Income over Feed Costs Margin • All-Milk ($/cwt) - 1.0728 x Corn ($/bu) - 0.0735 x Soybean meal ($/ton) - 0.0137 x Alfalfa hay ($/ton) • Feed ration per cwt of milk: • 30 pounds of shell corn, • 106.4 pounds of corn silage, • 14.7 pounds of soybean meal • 27.4 lbs of alfalfa hay
Subsidized margin insurance • Official name: Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program (PDMPP) • Two layers: • Basic Margin Protection – “Free” protection at $4.00 margin • Supplemental Margin Protection – Can buy up from $4.50 to $8.00 margin in 50 cents increments (called “Coverage Level”)
Supplemental Margin ProtectionPremiums for the first 4mil lbs • Supplemental Margin Protection Premiums (annual):
Supplemental Margin ProtectionPremiums for above 4mil lbs • Supplemental Margin Protection Premiums (annual):
DPMPP: What triggers it exactly? • Calendar year is divided into consecutive two-month periods • Average margin must be below the purchased coverage level in order for indemnities to be due.
DPMPP: What is the payment rate? • Basic Margin Protection • The difference between the actual margin and $4.00, except that, if the difference is more than $4.00, the Secretary shall use $4.00 • Example: Jerry subscribed for basic margin protection. For Jul-Aug, payment rate was $1.14 per cwt. If Jul-Aug margin was -$0.50, payment would have been $4.00 per cwt.
DPMPP: What is the payment base? • Supplemental Margin Protection: • The difference between coverage level and the greater of actual margin and $4.00. Example: Jerry also subscribed for supplemental margin protection at $6.50 coverage level. For Jul-Aug, the payment rate on supplemental was $6.50- max($4.00, $2.86) = $2.50
DPMPP: What is the payment base? • Basic Production History • Used in Basic Margin Protection • Equal to the highest annual milk marketings in any 1 of the 3 calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the participating dairy signed up • Annual Production History: • Used in Supplemental Margin Protection • Equal to the actual milk marketings of the participating dairy during the preceding calendar year
DPMPP: What is the actual payment base? • Basic Margin Protection: Actual DPMPP base used for indemnity is the lesser of • 80 percent of the basic production history, divided by 6 • Actual quantity of milk marketed during the consecutive 2-month period
DPMPP: What is the actual payment base? Supplemental Margin Protection: • Coverage Percentage must be chosen by producer: not less than 25 percent, nor more than 90 percent of annual production history • Actual DPMPP base used for indemnity is chosen coverage percentage times the lesser of • Annual production history divided by 6 • Actual quantity of milk marketed during the consecutive 2-month period
DPMPP payment base - example Jerry has a farm with 150 milking cows, with rolling herd average of 21,000 lbs. His annual milk marketings were: 2009: 3,140,146 lbs 2010: 3,142,638 lbs 2011: 3,130,758 lbs • His basic production history is 3,142,638 lbs. His annual production history is 3,130,758 lbs.
DPMPP payment base - example • In July-August period, milk production on his farm was 528,229lbs. • Basic Margin Protection actual base: Min(0.8x3,142,638/6, 528,229) = min(419,018; 528,229) = 419,018. • Supplemental Margin Protection actual base (with coverage percentage of 90 percent) 0.9 x min(3,130,758/6, 528,229) = 0.9 x min (521,793, 528,229)= 469,613
DPMPP – putting it all together • For July-August period, Jerry would get: Basic Margin Protection: $1.14/cwt x 4,190 cwt = $4,476 Supplemental Margin Protection (@$6.50 coverage level): $2.50 x 4,696 cwt = 11,740 Total = $16,216 Effective indemnity per cwt marketed: $3.07/cwt
DPMPP – how much does it cost? • Entry fee (annual): • Premiums for supplemental margin protection…
Dairy Market Stabilization Program Trigger: • Actual margins of $6.00 or less for each of the immediately preceding two months • Actual margin of $4.00 or less for the immediately preceding month
DMSP – What is the stabilization base? • Volume of average milk marketings for the three months immediately preceding the announcement that the stabilization program is activated OR • Volume of monthly milk marketings for the same month in the preceding year as the month in which DMSP is declared active
DMSP – what is the “penalty”? • Producer is not going to be paid for more than the greater of… • If margins were $5.00-$6.00: • 98 percent of stabilization base • 94 percent of the marketings of milk • If margins were $4.00-$5.00 • 97 percent of stabilization base • 93 percent of the marketings of milk • If margins were less than $4.00 • 96 percent of stabilization base • 92 percent of the marketings of milk
The Bottom Line • New dairy policy will be based on subsidized margin insurance, likely complemented with market stabilization program • Premiums for DPMPP are fixed, and heavily subsidized. It makes economic sense to consider participating in these programs.
