DairyNZ has announced the date for its upcoming Milksolids Levy vote.
The vote, which takes place every six years, will be held from Monday, 16 February to Friday, 13 March 2026.
Tracy Brown, chair of DairyNZ, 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,” Brown says.
She says that in the second half of 2025 and into 2026, the DairyNZ board and management team will be meeting with farmers to discuss the levy and answer questions.
“We value the opportunity to share the progress we’re making at a pivotal time for dairy,” she says.
“It’s important we continue to work with farmers and partners to secure the continued success of our sector.”
DairyNZ says that further details about the voting process and regional engagement events will be shared closer to the voting period.
