How does the Dairy Market Stabilization Program work?

• Activates if margin falls below trigger margin for 2 consecutive months

• Gives producers a 30-day window to adjust milk production

• Uses same margin determined monthly for DPMPP

• Calculated on a producer’s milk base:

• A rolling 3-month average of the most recent milk marketing immediately prior to DMSP implementation

OR

• The same month in the previous year
