Part of situation: Australian agricultural industry levy proposals (2 clusters)

Cattle Australia proposes $1 increase to grass-fed cattle levy

Cattle Australia grass-fed cattle levy National Research Station Australian Lot Feeders Association agricultural levies

Cattle producers are set to vote next month on a proposed $1 increase to the grass-fed cattle levy. Cattle Australia (CA) CEO Will Evans addressed producer concerns regarding the National Research Station (NRS) funding shortfall and the allocation of levy funds.

Evans noted that external economic modeling conducted by both CA and the Australian Lot Feeders Association (ALFA) indicates a need to support the NRS. While the grass-fed levy increase is intended to be proportionate, ALFA is also considering its own contribution review for 2027. Currently, CA contributes 11 cents toward the NRS.

In response to inquiries regarding transparency, Evans stated that while overall costings are available to levy payers, he does not have access to specific individual staff payroll information, as reviewing individual salaries was not part of the recent review process.
