Dairy Market Loss Assistance Program

The Department of Agriculture administers the Dairy Market Loss Assistance Program (CFDA 10.084) to provide financial assistance to dairy operations for normal milk production sold on the commercial market under authority of Public Law 105-277, Public Law 106-78, and Public Law 106-387.

The source provided contains no information about recent grant awards, grant opportunities, award cadence, funding concentration, typical award magnitudes, assistance-type mix, or program activity dates. No open or recently posted grant opportunities are documented. Without access to the grant award portfolio, recent awards block, or opportunities block, I cannot characterize whether this program is currently active, what the recent funding envelope is, how awards are structured, or whether solicitations are open.

To evaluate pursuit under this program, you will need to verify current status through USDA's Farm Service Agency, which administers dairy assistance programs, and cross-reference recent award activity on Grants.gov and SAM.gov. The program authority derives from legislation enacted in the late 1990s and early 2000s; confirm whether it remains funded under current appropriations or operates only when triggered by specific commodity price or production loss conditions.
