VOTING for the 2022 Dairy Poll opened earlier this week to all dairy service levy payers.

The poll is an opportunity for dairy farmers to determine the level of investment in the industry’s future.

The four voting options, determined by the Levy Poll Advisory Committee, include the recommended 20 per cent increase in the dairy service levy.

Additional investment would deliver tangible benefits to dairy farmers in important areas for the industry– tackling labour shortages, enhancing the regional service offering to farmers, addressing high priority issues around climate, and bolstering policy support.

Dairy farmers can cast their vote online or using a voting ballot returned by email, fax, or regular post.

Voting will close on 31 March 2022, with results announced shortly thereafter.
