农业部开放2027年乳业利润保障登记：第一档保障上限扩至600万磅 12月18日截止
美国农业部（USDA）2026年9月30日在华盛顿宣布，奶农可自10月5日起登记参加2027年度乳业利润保障计划（Dairy Margin Coverage，DMC），登记截止日期为2026年12月18日。DMC是一项自愿参加的风险管理计划，由农业部农场服务局（FSA）管理，在全国牛奶价格与平均饲料成本之间的差额跌破奶农自选的保障水平时提供赔付。
这项计划刚经《工薪家庭减税法案》强化，授权延长至2031年，多项改进自2026计划年度起生效：可享第一档（Tier 1）优惠费率保障的产量上限由500万磅提高到600万磅；生产历史更新，以更真实地反映当前奶牛场的经营规模；选择多年期保障的奶农可锁定至2031年，并享25%的保费折扣。
农场服务局局长 Bill Beam 表示：「把农民放在第一位，就是确保奶农在市场波动时有实用的工具保护自己的经营。乳业利润保障在利润收紧时提供一层负担得起的保障，帮助生产者管理风险、让经营站稳脚跟。」
2027年度的保障档位从每英担4.00美元到9.50美元不等。其中灾难档保障免保费，通常只需缴每年100美元的行政费；奶农也可自费选购更高档位，获得更强的利润下滑保障。农业部提供在线乳业决策工具供测算，登记须到当地农场服务局县级办公室办理。
此前选择了2026至2031多年期方案的奶农也须注意：每个计划年度仍须完成商业售奶认证、签署DMC合同并缴纳100美元行政费，才能维持当年的保障；其保障档位与比例按原多年期选择延续，并继续享25%保费折扣。
USDA Opens 2027 Dairy Margin Coverage Enrollment: Tier 1 Cap Raised to 6 Million Pounds, Deadline December 18
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced in Washington on September 30, 2026, that dairy producers can enroll starting October 5 for 2027 Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC), a voluntary risk management program administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Enrollment for 2027 runs through December 18, 2026.
DMC provides financial protection when the difference between the national all-milk price and average feed cost falls below a producer-selected coverage level. The Working Families Tax Cuts Act reauthorized DMC through 2031 and strengthened the program, with improvements effective beginning with the 2026 program year: the amount of production eligible for Tier 1 protection rose from five million to six million pounds, production histories were updated to better reflect current dairy operations, and producers can secure coverage through 2031 at a 25 percent reduced premium cost.
"Putting farmers first means making sure dairy producers have practical tools to protect their operations when markets fluctuate," said FSA Administrator Bill Beam. "Dairy Margin Coverage provides an affordable layer of protection when margins tighten, helping producers manage risk and keep their operations on solid ground."
For 2027, producers can select coverage levels ranging from $4.00 to $9.50 per hundredweight. A catastrophic level of coverage is available at no premium cost, although an annual $100 administrative fee generally applies, and producers may purchase higher levels for additional protection. USDA provides an online dairy decision tool, and producers should contact their local FSA county office to enroll.
Producers who previously elected the multi-year option for 2026 through 2031 must still certify to commercially market milk, sign a DMC contract, and pay the $100 administrative fee for each program year to maintain coverage; they continue at their selected coverage level and percentage and receive the 25 percent premium discount.
