1 Dairy Gross Margin (GM) (Milk Income over Feed Cost) New USDA Risk Management Tool for Dairy Producers Over-view/concepts & illustrations Includes est. for October 2011 & Scenario Analysis Gene Gantz, RMA/USDA, Graphics by Karen Powell, PA Ag Dept.,

2 What is Dairy Gross Margins Insurance for Producers? It provides producers a monthly opportunity to develop a financial safety-net for the year ahead with protection for the last 10 months of the 12 month period. 2

4 A Dairy Gross Margin is. Milk Income Over Feed Cost Using all or part of Your Quantities of Milk & Feed Times Board of Trade Prices (class III Milk) for your selected time period(s) that you choose So Dairy Gross Margin Insurance guarantees a pre-determined $ amount of income over feed cost for up to a year into the future! Maximum enrollment; 24,000,000 pounds per year (7/1-6/30) Enrollment periods are monthly last business Friday of each month (exception, 3 rd business Friday and next day in Nov. and Dec.) 4

5 Calculation Example - Dairy Gross Margins Expected Gross Margin - Insurance Guarantee is: * milk enrolled (any or all milk expected to be produced; for any or all months available) times the BOT futures price * minus feed costs (actual ration or default ration of ½ bu. of corn and 4 lbs. of soybean meal per cwt. of milk) valued at BOT prices (class III milk) * One Month Enrollment Example (4/2009 enrollment for 3/2010): $ Milk 1 cwt. cwt (class III) Minus 2.62 Feed cost for 1 cwt of milk using default ((corn=1/2 bu.@$4.18=$2.09) + $12.83 Expected Gross Margin (soymeal=4 lbs.@$266.30/t.=$0.53)) Actual Gross Margin - Calculated same as Expected Gross Margin but prices are updated using futures prices for current month $12.78 Milk 1 cwt. (class III) 2.30 Feed cost for 1 cwt. of milk ((corn=1/2 bu.@$3.57=$1.79) + $10.48 Actual Gross Margin (soymeal=4 lbs.@$255.77/t.=$0.51)) $2.35 loss payment per 1 cwt milk enrolled for one month 5

6 Dairy Gross Margins Insurance is. Expected gross margin (EGM) Minus Actual gross margin (AGM) = (equals) Insurance loss payment (of > $1) (LP) Formula EGM AGM = Loss Payment. For the producer s selected monthly time period (month or group of months). Board of Trade (BOT) prices used to establish all values 6

10 Enrollment Strategies to Consider Jump in and out (rolling the dice) Selecting certain months each enrollment period Buying a fixed amount or percentage of your production each month Insure systematically but varying the deductibles in above strategies based on your confidence in future prices market 10

11 Enrollment Issues - Dairy LGM 1. How much milk can a producer afford to enroll in dairy LGM (premium cost limitation)? 2. What month(s) are the best time to enroll milk? 3. Are there any performance tested patterns of insuring different months? 11

12 12

13 Potential Performance Retroactive application of DGM since Feb Using consistent milk enrollment amounts and selected monthly patterns each enrollment period (monthly, last business Friday and following Saturday) 13

21 Reasons to Buy - Dairy Gross Margins Insurance (DGM) 1. Establish monthly safety-net - develop and implement a financial safety-net for your business plan for the year ahead, with protection the last 10 months of each 12 month enrollment period. Enrollment periods are last business Friday and following day each month (likely exception, 3 rd business Friday and next day in Nov. & Dec.). 2. Enrollment pattern - the best performing enrolling strategy favors a consistent amount of milk being enrolled each month of each enrollment period. Estimated benefit cost ratios are zero and 3.84 at $1.50 per cwt deductible, when following this pattern over the past 10 years. 3. Reduce feed piece volatility risk - DGM provides protection from increased feed prices when milk prices do not have a corresponding increase. 4. Premium subsidy and time of payment - if enrollment is for two or more months and not billed until end of insurance (enrollment) period. 5. If you can accurately predict futures prices - enroll in DGM at a low cost, good performing, higher deductible so that you are protected if the futures prices do not follow your expectations. 6. Apply savings from CWT program 2011 contributions dropped from 10 to 2 cents, apply the 8 cent per cwt cost reduction to purchase a dairy risk management plan. 7. Create improved MILC program appropriate amounts of milk enrollment in DGM may be used to function similar to MILC payments. 8. Acquire increased loan security DGM can increase you loan security to improve your credit worthiness. Indemnities are assignable. Summary: * DGM pays when you receive less from the marketplace than the gross margin guarantee. The market place also pays more timely * Having a reliable risk management plan protects the business, your family, and your good stewardship. 21

35 Livestock Gross Margin Insurance Protection for Swine (Draft 8/31/11) Available in 48 contiguous states Gross margin protection (income minus feed cost (based on board of trade prices) for swine to be sold for commercial or private slaughter can be covered by this RMA/USDA The program uses futures prices to determine the Expected Gross Margin and the Actual Gross Margin. An indemnity may be payable when the Actual Gross Margin is less than the Expected gross Margin for the enrollment period (The price the producer receives at the local market is not used in these calculations). Types of Operations Covered: Farrow to Finish Operation - A type of farm operation that covers all aspects of breeding, farrowing and raising swine to slaughter. Feeder Pig Finishing Operation - A type of farm operation that specializes in the feeding of swine (feeder pigs) from a weight of approximately 50 pounds to slaughter. Swine Gross Margins Ins. Protection Enrollment: SEW Operation - A type of farm operation that specializes in the feeding of swine (Segregated Early Weaned pigs) from the age of approximately days to slaughter. Can insure the swine a producer expects to market during each enrollment period. Twelve times per year (last business Friday of each month). There are twelve Insurance periods per year, each is for six months, with coverage available for last 5 months of the 6 month period. The first enrollment period Expected to be available October 28, 2011 Target Marketings: All or part of swine may be included for all or selected months of each insurance period, not to exceed 15,000 head per insurance period or 30,000 head period/reinsurance year. Coverage: Prices: Deductibles: Protects against loss of gross margin (market value minus feed costs) of swine. Begins the second month following sales closing date and can continue for the next 5 months. Based on simple averages of futures contract daily settlement prices. Chose from $0-$20 deductible per head in $2 increments. Expected Gross Margin (EGM): Based on the market value of the swine minus feed costs (corn and soybean meal equivalents) using CME futures prices. Actual Gross Margin (AGM): Based on the market value of the swine minus feed costs using CME Actual Prices. Actual Gross Margin per Swine by type of operation (combination types on same policy have separate guarantees and loss payments): For farrow to finish operations, the actual swine price for the month swine are marketed times 0.74, times the assumed weight of the swine at marketing (260 pounds, or as stated in the Special Provisions), minus the actual cost of feed three months prior to that month, (using CME prices). For feeder and SEW pig finishing operations: the actual swine price for the month swine are marketed times 0.74, times the assumed weight of the swine at marketing 260 pounds, or as stated in the Special Provisions, minus the actual cost of feed two months prior to that month (using CME prices). For example, the actual gross margin per swine for April for a farrowing to finish operation is the actual swine price for April times 0.74, times 2.6 hundredweight, less the actual cost of feed for January. For feeder pig finishing operations or SEW pig finishing operations: the actual gross margin per swine for April is the actual swine price for April times 0.74, times 2.6 hundredweight, less the actual cost of feed for February Indemnity: If the Actual Gross Margin is less that the Expected Gross Margin (minus the deductible) for the period of enrollment an indemnity may be payable.
