Cattle farmers back increased levy
5 Aug 2005

Beef Industry Funding Steering Committee said they were confident cattle producers support a $1.50-a-head increase in the beef transaction levy, to $5. The increased levy would generate an extra $21 million and would be spent on promotion. The levy applies to about 10,000 farmers. The higher levy is expected to come into affect from January 2005.
