MPP-Dairy is a publicly supported risk management tool of the USDA. It was established by the 2014 Farm Bill. Information provided here is a collection of links to resources developed by the National Program on Dairy Markets and Policy, USDA, National Milk Producers Federation and Farm Credit East. These resources are intended to inform the farm manager as they decide whether to enroll in this program to mitigate price risk for their dairy. The links included information developed in the form of recorded webinars, fact sheets and an on-line interactive decision making tool that allows a manager to explore the anticipated impact of alternative participation decisions.   
Program on Dairy Markets and Policy: http://dairymarkets.org/MPP/. Includes webinars, fact sheets, and the MPP on-line interactive decision tool that is updated daily to reflect changes in market conditions as reflected by the futures market.
