- What it does
- To protect dairy operations and manufacturers of dairy products who through no fault of their own, are directed to remove their milk or dairy products from commercial markets because of contamination from pesticides which have been approved for use by the Federal government. Dairy operations can also be indemnified because of contamination with chemicals or toxic substances, nuclear radiation or fallout. Affected dairy operations provide documentation of the dumped milk losses and are paid through DIPP for the full value of the dumped milk. Additionally, DIPP has the authority to indemnify cows that are permanently contaminated due to a chemical contamination. DIPP has successfully compensated dairy operations for many decades for dumped milk losses due to contamination issues.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
