Wool levy vote closes Friday

Written by 

VOTING FOR the Wool Levy Referendum closes this Friday, October 10.

 

About 40% have already voted and the Wool Levy Group is heartened by the level of engagement with growers and with all stakeholders in the industry.

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.

"Sheep farmers genuinely want to see more unity," says Sandra Faulkner, chair of the Wool Levy Group.

"'Those I have spoken to appreciate the opportunity to have an internationally recognised, non commercial voice to represent wool growers effectively and in a way which ultimately makes a difference.

"I understand that this is a busy time of year, but voting will take only a few minutes over a cuppa. I urge sheep farmers not to sit on the fence - have their say.

"Dig out the voting papers and fax them through or vote online and be a part of the future of wool. Vote today."
