Dairy farmers have until February 20 to apply for grants under the latest round of Woolworths’ Dairy Innovation fund.<\/p>\n

The second round of the $5 million fund is now open and seeking applications from farmers for grants to support on-farm projects that deliver “innovation, efficiency and seasonal resilience”.<\/p>\n

Australian dairy farmers in the Woolworths supply chain, including those supplying vendor brands, can apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re calling on Australian dairy farmers to come to us with innovative plans that we can help bring to life,”\u00a0Woolworths dairy merchandise manager Will Herron said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith improved conditions over recent seasons, future focussed farmers are investing in technology and infrastructure to build resilient businesses that can prosper through seasonal challenges in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to partner with farmers to help create the farms of the future that will continue to deliver quality dairy to Australians for generations to come.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Woolworths will phase out its 10 cent drought levy for farmers on June 30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The levy, on Woolworths’ own-brand two litre and three litre milk, was introduced in September 2018.<\/p>\n

Woolworths commercial director of dairy Jason McQuaid told the ABC that with improved seasonal farming conditions and a 15 per cent boost to milk cheques since 2018, it was time to end the drought relief initiative.<\/p>\n

“We’re pleased to have aided the recovery of Australian dairy farms over the last three years and to see the industry bolstered in recent seasons by a return to favourable conditions,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
