Dairy Revenue Protection Insurance

Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) provides protection against an unexpected decline in revenue (yield and/or price) on the milk produced from dairy cows. This policy allows producers to choose how much and when to enroll their milk.

Dairy Revenue Protection Program Details

Dairy Revenue Protection is flexible and works for large and small farms. You can cover part or all of your quarterly milk production and don’t need to do it all at once. You can cover milk in multiple enrollments and choose to base coverage on either class pricing or component pricing.  

Pricing Options

Class Price

  • Blend of the Class III and Class IV milk prices
  • Insured declares their percentage desired for Class III and/or Class IV
  • Can be split or blended endorsements

Component Price

  • Uses a combination of butterfat, protein and other solid values
  • Other solids is a fixed value at 5.7 
  • Declared butterfat is no less than 3.5 and no more than 5.0 pounds
  • Declared protein is no less than 3.0 and no more than 4.0 pounds

Release of prices is determined by the Risk Management Agency.
