The new program aims to provide farmers with financial protection against risks from increasing vola - tility in milk and feed prices. These developments occurred amid ongoing structural change toward larger dairy farms, as well as ongoing change in dairy product demand, away from fluid milk, and toward manufactured products sold in domestic and export markets. This report focuses on the interrelated topics of structural change in dairy production, changes in dairy product markets, growing price volatility, and dairy policy. It details the major developments in each, traces the linkages among them, and identifies the challenges that structural change, evolving product markets, and price volatility pose for policy. ----- Errata On May 17, the following corrections were made to ERR-205, Changing Structure, Financial Risks, and Government Policy for the U.S. Dairy Industry . Three cells in Table 3 were updated as follows: “Western States, 3,000-3,999 head in 1992" (19), “Traditional States, 1,000-1,999 head in 1997" (54), and “Other States, 1,000-1,999 head in 2002" (56). On page 10, the State in which Shamrock Farms is located was corrected. In addition, Appendix table A-2 was updated to reflect return-on-equity calculations for the full rather than a restricted sample of dairy farms. 000262200 546__ $$aEnglish 000262200 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000262200 650__ $$aIndustrial Organization 000262200 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000262200 6531_ $$aFarm structure 000262200 6531_ $$aMargin Protection Program 000262200 6531_ $$adairy policy 000262200 6531_ $$adairy trade 000262200 6531_ $$aARMS 000262200 6531_ $$adairy farm finances 000262200 6531_ $$amilk prices 000262200 6531_ $$adairy exports 000262200 6531_ $$adairy structure 000262200 700__ $$aMacDonald, James M. 000262200 700__ $$aCessna, Jerry 000262200 700__ $$aMosheim, Roberto 000262200 8560_ $$fsnyde350@umn.edu 000262200 8564_ $$97ac3faf7-5d1d-4d40-b73f-ec94a1b8f477$$s3198795$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/262200/files/56833_err205_errata.pdf 000262200 8564_ $$954d02c23-4f77-4611-be08-24ff7524438f$$xpdfa$$s3522341$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/262200/files/56833_err205_errata.pdf?subformat=pdfa 000262200 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:262200$$pGLOBAL_SET 000262200 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
