Final call for wool levy vote

Written by 

OVER 43% of sheep farmers have already voted in the Wool Levy Referendum, which is higher than the total voter return in the 2009 referendum, which was 39%.

 

But with less than 24 hours left, farmers who have not yet voted are being urged to do so. Voting closes tomorrow, Friday, October 10 at 2pm.

"Join in and have your say - this is not the time to leave it to others to make such an important decision about your business." says Sandra Faulkner, chair of the Wool Levy Group. "This is your chance to make a stand.

"We have had a fantastic response so far, but we still need votes to show that strong farmer turn out, now is your last chance. Don't delay, vote now."

Voting can be done by fax toll free on 0528 233 532 869 or online at www.votewool.co.nz. Postal voting has now closed.
