This part resets how a dairy farm's milk history is measured. It uses the best of 2021, 2022 and 2023. It raises a coverage figure from 5 million to 6 million pounds. It keeps the dairy program running through 2031.

What the document says
“the production history of a dairy operation for dairy margin coverage is equal to the highest annual milk marketings of the participating dairy operation during any 1 of the 2021, 2022, or 2023 calendar years.”
The section strikes subsections (a) and (b) of section 1405 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9055) and inserts a new subsection (a) setting the production history at the highest annual milk marketings in any one of the 2021, 2022 or 2023 calendar years, except as provided in subsection (b). It also strikes words from the definition in section 1401(8) of that Act (7 U.S.C. 9051(8)).
What the document actually says
“the production history of a dairy operation for dairy margin coverage is equal to the highest annual milk marketings of the participating dairy operation during any 1 of the 2021, 2022, or 2023 calendar years.”
That sentence, in plain words
A dairy farm's history is its best year of milk sales. The years to pick from are 2021, 2022 and 2023.
What this is about
Production history sets how much milk a farm can cover. A bigger history means more cover. Only one of the three years is used.

The document says “shall”Who acts: participating dairy operationsHow: statuteSec. 10313 in the PDF
What the document says
“the participating dairy operation shall elect 1 of the following methods for the Secretary to determine the production history of the participating dairy operation:”
The section requires a participating dairy operation in business less than a year to choose between having its actual milk marketings for the months it has operated scaled up to a yearly figure, and having its marketings estimated from its herd size against the national rolling herd average data the Secretary publishes.
What the document actually says
“the participating dairy operation shall elect 1 of the following methods for the Secretary to determine the production history of the participating dairy operation:”
That sentence, in plain words
A new dairy farm must pick one of two ways. Both ways set the farm's milk history.
What this is about
The first way takes the months so far and scales them up to a year. The second uses the herd size against a national average. The farm chooses.

The document says “is amended”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10313 in the PDF
What the document says
“is amended by striking "5,000,000" each place it appears and inserting "6,000,000".”
The section strikes the figure 5,000,000 each place it appears in section 1406(a)(1)(C) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9056(a)(1)(C)) and inserts 6,000,000, and makes the same change in the subsection headings and first paragraphs of subsections (b) and (c) of section 1407 of that Act (7 U.S.C. 9057).
What the document actually says
“is amended by striking "5,000,000" each place it appears and inserting "6,000,000".”
That sentence, in plain words
The figure 5,000,000 is taken out wherever it appears. The figure 6,000,000 is put in.
What this is about
The figure is a number of pounds of milk. It marks the line between two premium tiers. The same swap is made in three spots.

What the document says
“by striking "2019 through 2023" and inserting "2026 through 2031"; and”
The section amends section 1407(g) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9057(g)) by striking 2019 through 2023 and inserting 2026 through 2031, by striking January 2019 and inserting January 2026, and by striking 2023 each place it appears in paragraph (2) and inserting 2031.
What the document actually says
“by striking "2019 through 2023" and inserting "2026 through 2031"; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The years 2019 through 2023 are taken out. The years 2026 through 2031 are put in.
What this is about
A month name is moved forward in the same way. January 2019 becomes January 2026. The rule sets a cut in what a farm pays.

What the document says
“Section 1409 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9059) is amended by striking "2025" and inserting "2031".”
The section strikes 2025 and inserts 2031 in section 1409 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9059). That older provision is not indexed here, so this record states the change and stops.
What the document actually says
“Section 1409 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9059) is amended by striking "2025" and inserting "2031".”
That sentence, in plain words
The year 2025 is taken out of an older farm law. The year 2031 is put in.
What this is about
The change keeps the dairy program going for six more years. What the program pays is not recorded here. Only the date change is.

Each distinct thing the section does: the new production history rule, the choice open to a new dairy operation, the higher coverage figure, the reset of the premium discount years, and the extension of the program.
The striking of words from the definition in section 1401(8), and the repeated heading and paragraph substitutions that make the same 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 change in several places.
The section works by amending sections 1401, 1405, 1406, 1407 and 1409 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, none of which is indexed here, so how dairy margin coverage pays out cannot be checked against anything on this site.
