New program deadline is August 11, 2023
MADISON, WI, July 21, 2023 –The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending the deadline for the new Organic Dairy Marketing Assistance Program (ODMAP) to August 11, 2023. This extension gives Wisconsin organic dairy producers more than two additional weeks to apply for the program. ODMAP helps producers mitigate market volatility, higher input and transportation costs, and unstable feed supply and prices that have created unique hardships in the organic dairy industry. This assistance will help keep Wisconsin organic dairy operations sustainable until markets return to more normal conditions.
How to Apply — Signup opened May 24 and closes Aug. 11, 2023. To apply, producers should contact their local Wisconsin FSA USDA Service Center. To complete the ODMAP application, producers must certify to pounds of 2022 milk production or to a projection of marketed pounds in 2023, if applicable, and submit a completed application form.
To learn more about FSA programs, producers can contact their local USDA Service Center. Producers can
