    Dairy farmers have agreed to again bankroll their industry organisation

    Dairy farmers have agreed to again bankroll their industry organisation


    Nearly 70 percent of voting dairy farmers favoured a levy for DairyNZ and they will contribute 3.6 cents for each kilogram of milk solids from their cows.

    The money is used to deliver research, farm tools and support.

    Just 57 percent of 11 thousand and 750 farmers voted.
