This program is like any insurance product, where investing in a policy today will protect against catastrophic economic con- sequences tomorrow.” Enrolled dairy opera- tions must pay a $100 ad- ministrative fee annually to receive basic catastrophic coverage. Greater levels of mar- gin protection are available for a higher premium and provide expanded cover- age based on historic dairy production. Once enrolled, produc- ers can change their levels of coverage each year. Dairy producers are encouraged to review pro- tection options online at www.fsa.usda.gov/dairy or by visiting their local FSA county ofice. The Morrow County FSA ofice can be reached at 541-676-9011.
