OPINION: The dairy sector has been told that it cannot afford to rest on its laurels.
DairyNZ chair Tracy Brown says the levy underpins sector science, research, on-farm support, and advocacy to ensure a positive future for dairy.
“Voting ‘yes’ in the Milksolids Levy vote ensures we can continue to invest in the activities that matter most to farmers – both now and into the future,” she says.
“Later in the year and into 2026, our board and management team will be visiting regions to meet with farmers, discuss the levy, and answer any questions.
“We value the opportunity to share the progress we’re making at a pivotal time for dairy. It’s important we continue to work with farmers and partners to secure the continued success of our sector,” Brown says.
Further details about the voting process and regional engagement events will be shared closer to the voting period.
The Milksolids Levy supports DairyNZ’s work in delivering world-leading science and research, extension, and evidence-based policy and advocacy.
