Q3 2023 indemnities have not yet been released by USDA-RMA. As such, current quarter indemnity payments in this report are estimated using announced class and component prices and milk yields.
Overview & Key Points:
- Estimated indemnity payments for Q3 2023 averaged $1.20 per cwt, the fourth largest to-date.
- 23% of the U.S. milk supply was covered with DRP. This is the lowest share since the first quarter of 2020.
- At the 95% coverage level, Q3 2023 indemnities would have been triggered for 96% of available days for Class III and 50% of available days for Class IV.
Coverage Performance by Horizon:
Participation & Performance:
Net to producers is equal to the indemnity paid minus the producer premium. Effective covered milk production is equal to the declared production times the protection factor. Class III versus IV coverage calculated as the effective covered milk production times the class price weighting factor or the component price weighting factor.
