24 Updates on KY Basis and Price Differentials

25 Appalachian Order minus Class III

26 Southeast Order minus Class III

27 Milk Classes Class I fluid milk Class II soft products Yogurt, ice cream, cottage cheese Class III hard cheeses, whey Class IV butter, dry products

28 How are minimum prices set? 1. Start with values of dairy product, ie: wholesale cheese price 2. Yield factor - how much cheese should we get from a cwt of milk 3. Make allowance reasonable processing cost to make the cheese 4. This is done for all products from that class 5. Minimum price is established

29 More pricing details Formulas are set such that Class I and II prices exceed class III and IV prices Typically I-IV in order of price Class III cheese, dry whey, BF Class IV butter, non-fat dry, BF Class II Advanced class IV + 70 cents Class I Higher of advanced class III or class IV plus class I differential Note: Advanced prices are released 2 week into prior month*

31 MPP-Dairy vs. LGM Dairy Decision tool available from FSA website: Examine both programs separately Margins are not directly comparable

33 US All Milk minus Class III

34 Feed Cost Differences LGM-Diary corn and SBM futures Default 28 lbs of corn Default 4 lbs of SBM These can be changed!!!!! MPP-Dairy National corn, SBM, and Alfalfa prices 60.1 lbs of corn 14.7 lbs of SBM 27.4 lbs of Alfalfa hay Adjust for price differences, match feed quantities, subtract Alfalfa component The change is what matters

35 Nature of the Programs LGM-Dairy futures based Available insurable margins evolved with market Good times = good opportunities MPP-Dairy a bit more of a throwback Countercyclical margins and premiums fixed through 2018 LGM-Dairy attractive in profitable times MPP-Dairy attractive in challenging times

36 Kenny s Last 2 Things get worse before they get better Prices likely to improve in 2 nd half of year I expect $2-$3 of improvement MPP-Dairy and LGM-Dairy are new safety net Margin insurance oriented Less worried about feed? Use lower end of LGM feed quantity range Go straight to milk board
