USDA staff began the task of collecting and reporting a mountain of data that went unreported during the partial government shutdown. One of the first reports updated was November 2018’s Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy) calculations, released about a month later than scheduled, on Jan. 31, 2019.
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) released a revised schedule of reports affected by the partial government shutdown. Due to a lapse in federal funding, NASS staff members were unable to collect data and compile the reports during the shutdown.
Valley Agricultural Software is bringing full mobile integration to its ParlorBoss software product, which helps dairy producers streamline and take control of their parlor logistics. ParlorBoss is used by producers – in both rotary and parallel parlor setups – to take a roll call of all cows as they enter the parlor, then alerting employees to cows that are in the wrong pen, when a move is needed, and also when additional services are needed before the cow leaves the parlor.
Editor's note: The original version of this article has been updated to include a newly revised schedule of USDA National Ag Statistics Service reports impacting MPP-Dairy margin calculations for November and December 2018.
With the partial government shutdown ended – at least temporarily – the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) could soon be putting final numbers to the Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy).
