FSA is implementing ODMAP to provide financial support to organic dairy operations due to the post pandemic lower demand for organic milk and dairy products prompting negative organic milk prices, in addition to significant increases for organic feed commodities, which exacerbated organic dairy operation profitability. The organic dairy operations are allowed to receive payments for 2023 marketing expenses as authorized under CCC Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714c(e)) that includes authority for CCC to use its general powers and funding to increase the domestic consumption of agricultural commodities (other than tobacco) by expanding or aiding in the expansion of domestic markets or by developing or aiding in the development of new and additional markets, marketing facilities, and usage for commodities.

FSA will accept ODMAP applications (FSA-630) with the applicable milk statements and organic certification to determine eligibility and calculate payments Dairy producers will also submit the following forms if applicable and if not previously filed with FSA: CCC-901, Member Information for Legal Entities; CCC-902, Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Certification and Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information; and AD-1026- Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation Certification.

Announcement Dates: FSA will accept ODMAP applications from May 15, 2023, through September 30, 2023.
