Dairy Revenue Protection Program
Protect Your Dairy Revenue
At GDI Insurance Agency, Inc, we understand that turning a profit has become a challenge for California dairy farms in recent years, as chronically low milk prices cut into the business’ bottom line. Many dairy farms’ income from milk has decreased significantly, while operational costs around the farm have stayed the same or risen. It’s getting harder and harder to make a living, that is why it is so important to have a California dairy revenue protection program.
California Dairy Revenue Protection Program
Dairy Revenue Protection is an area-based federal crop insurance product that provides quarterly revenue coverage for dairy farmers.
The program, which will be available starting in October 2018, allows farmers to set a guaranteed revenue they want to make on a certain amount of milk. Farmers can receive an indemnity payment if their actual revenue doesn’t meet the set level. Insurance costs are determined by expected milk prices and market risk.
Dairy farmers will now be able to protect their milk price on a quarterly basis, with an indemnity paid when the actual milk price falls below their insured milk revenue guarantee.
How Expensive is The Dairy Revenue Protection Program?
The price of the policy is “actuarially fair”, meaning it will vary daily based on the farmer-selected parameters and on the expected prices and risk in the market. In general, higher levels of liability and more deferred policies will be more expensive to purchase.
The federal government will subsidize costs for farmers. If you would like to find out more about this program, please contact GDI Insurance Agency, Inc. at 1-209-634-2929.
Under Dairy Revenue Protection a farmer has only five decisions to make:
- The method to value milk in the policy
- The amount of milk production to cover
- The level of coverage (from 70 to 95 percent of the revenue guarantee)
- Which quarterly contracts he/she wishes to purchase
- The optional protection factor
Participating dairy farmers are not precluded from participation in USDA Farm Service Agency’s Margin Protection Program.

Injury and Illness Investigation Programs
Make sure that falls, chemical exposures and other injuries only cost you a single time. These resources can help you establish best practices for investigating the true sources of agriculture incidents and reduce the chance of costly reoccurrences.
Compliance Tools
OSHA, the Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies often release rules specific to the agriculture industry, and mismanaging compliance topics can lead to costly fines and a tarnished reputation. Use these attorney-written compliance tools to understand your obligations and make sure your business stays in compliance.
Response Plans and Programs
To ensure your long-term success, your business needs to be ready to respond to a number of common agriculture and farming risk exposures.

Employee Safety Communications
Promote various workplace topics with hundreds of employee-facing resources, including flyers, articles, bulletins and guides that will help keep health and safety top of mind.
OSHA Compliance Program for Agribusiness
Does your broker provide you with timely updates on new and revised OSHA regulations?
OSHA constantly updates its standards and requirements, and even a single update can drastically impact the construction industry and your regular operations. We can provide you with attorney-reviewed documents that outline your obligations, making it easy for you to focus on your agribusiness projects instead of complicated OSHA rules.
Are you prepared for an Unannounced OSHA inspection?
If an OSHA inspection finds violations at one of your construction sites, you could face fines and watch your reputation plummet. We can offer you agriculture-specific compliance resources and inspection guides to help you address potential issues before they occur.
Does your Agriculture business comply with OSHA’s hazard communication standards?
Agriculture employees often have to work with or around hazardous substances, and even one incident can lead to serious injuries and costly fines. Our clients have access to agriculture-specific toolbox talks and articles, as well as workplace posters and hazard communication programs that can ensure your business is compliant with OSHA standards.
