USDA extends deadline for Organic Dairy Marketing Assistance

Press release

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is extending the deadline for the new Organic Dairy Marketing Assistance Program — ODMAP — to Aug. 11, 2023.

This extension gives organic dairy producers more than two additional weeks to apply for the program. ODMAP helps producers mitigate market volatility, higher input and transportation costs, and unstable feed supply and prices that have created unique hardships in the organic dairy industry. This assistance will help keep organic dairy operations sustainable until markets return to more normal conditions.
