How are the feed quantities for LGM determined?
Producers must supply the total number of tons of corn or corn equivalent and the tons of protein meal or protein meal equivalent that they expect to feed for each month in which they insure their milk. Feed quantities are bounded. The number of tons of corn or corn equivalent must be between 0.00364 and 0.0381 tons per hundredweight of milk. The number of tons of protein meal or protein meal equivalent must be between 0.000805 and 0.013 tons per hundredweight of milk. Default values of 0.014 tons (0.5 bushels) of corn and 0.002 tons (4 pounds) of soybean meal per hundredweight of milk can be used if producers do not wish to choose feed amounts.
