The Northwest Dairy Association will receive $6,871,683 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service. The award is part of the USDA-AMS Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program (PMVAP), CFDA #10.183, which provides $6.8 million in pandemic assistance payments to dairy farmers through cooperative agreements with raw milk buyers. Under the award, the Northwest Dairy Association will distribute PMVAP monies to eligible dairy farmers who received a lower value for their milk due to 2020 pandemic-related market abnormalities. The Association must obtain adjusted gross income attestations, issue 1099-MISC forms, and provide documentation that payments were made according to program rules. It must also provide dairy policy education to eligible producers and be subject to USDA verification of proper payments. All funds must be distributed to farmers by June 30, 2022. There are no subrecipient activities associated with this award.
