Dairy Market Loss Assistance

Dairy Market Loss Assistance

Dairy Market Loss Assistance (DMLA) was a series of emergency direct payment programs for dairy farmers funded over three consecutive years (FY1999-2001) by three separate emergency supplemental appropriations measures. The primary purpose of these payments was to supplement dairy farmer income in response to volatile farm milk prices. Dairy farmers received supplemental payments of $200 million provided by the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (P.L. 105-277) in DMLA-I; $125 million from the FY2000 agriculture appropriations act (P.L. 106-78) in DMLA-II; and $675 million in emergency provisions in the FY2001 agriculture appropriations act (P.L. 106-387) in DMLA-III.
