WASHINGTON Agricul- ture Secretary Tom Vil- sack announced this week that starting Tuesday farmers can enroll in the new dairy Margin Protec- tion Program. The voluntary program, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides finan- cial assistance to partici- pating farmers when the margin — the difference between the price of milk and feed costs — falls be- low the coverage level se- lected by the farmer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) also launched a new Web tool to help producers de- termine the level of cov- erage under the Margin Protection Program that will provide them with the strongest safety net under a variety of con- ditions. The online re- source, available at www. fsa.usda.gov/mpptool, al- lows dairy farmers to quickly and easily com- bine unique operation data and other key vari- ables to calculate their coverage needs based on price projections. Produc- ers can also review histor- ical data or estimate fu- ture coverage based on data projections. The se- cure site can be accessed via computer, Smart- phone, tablet or any other platform, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Margin Protec- tion Program, which re- places the Milk Income Loss Contract program, gives participating dairy producers the flexibility to select coverage levels best suited for their oper- ation. Enrollment begins Sept. 2 and ends on Nov. 28, for 2014 and 2015. Par- ticipating farmers must remain in the program through 2018 and pay a minimum $100 adminis- trative fee each year. Pro- ducers have the option of selecting a different cover- age level during open en- rollment each year. Dairy operations en- rolling in the new pro- gram must comply with conservation compli- ance provisions and can- not participate in the Livestock Gross Mar- gin dairy insurance pro- gram. Farmers already participating in the Live- stock Gross Margin pro- gram may register for the Margin Protection Pro- gram, but the new mar- gin program will only be- gin once their Livestock Gross Margin coverage has ended. The Margin Protection Program final rule will be published in the Fed- eral Register on Aug. 29. The Farm Service Agency (FSA), which adminis- ters the program, also will open a 60-day pub- lic comment period on the dairy program. The agency wants to hear from dairy operators to determine whether the current regulation accu- rately addresses manage- ment changes, such as adding new family mem- bers to the dairy opera- tion or inter-generational transfers. Written com- ments must be submitted by Oct. 28, at www.fsa. usda.gov or www.regula- tions.gov. The 2014 Farm Bill also established the Dairy Product Donation Pro- gram. The program au- thorizes USDA to pur- chase and donate dairy products to nonprofit or- ganizations that provide nutrition assistance to low-income families. DAIRY Enrollmentforrisk management set to start By Susan Montoya Bryan Associated Press BERNALILLO, N.M. Idaho has its potatoes. Florida has its fresh fruits and juices. Vidalia is the name synony- mous with the nation's most famous sweet onion. Now New Mexico has its own trademark and certifi- cation program to protect the reputation and integrity of its signature crop: chile. Gov. Susana Martinez, members of the New Mex- ico Chile Association and other officials unveiled the program before a packed room of chile aficionados gathered recently at The Range Cafe, the first res- taurant to sign up. Martinez described chile as a way of life in New Mex- ico. Aside from being a part of breakfast, lunch and din- ner, the chile industry con- tributes more than $460 million every year to the state's economy and em- ploys about 4,000 workers. The governor said con- sumers — whether in New Mexico or New York City — shouldn't have to wonder whether they're getting real New Mexico-grown chile. "Whether you prefer red, green or Christmas (a mix of both), you want to know that your chile was grown in New Mexico by farmers with generations of expe- rience, in rich soil and the kind of intense sunlight that makes this flavorful food," she said. The program builds upon on existing law that makes it illegal to advertise any product as New Mexico chile unless it's actually grown in the state. An in- dependent auditor will cer- tify whether restaurants, salsa makers and others in the hot pepper business are using New Mexico-grown chile before allowing them to post the certified logo on their labels and at their front doors. The chile association also is developing a web- site where consumers will be able to find vendors who sell the real deal. State agriculture offi- cials said they have evi- dence from across the coun- try that unscrupulous ven- dors have tried to pass off chile as New Mexican de- spite packaging that shows it comes from another coun- try.
