100% DROUGHT DECLARED
With 100% of New South Wales drought-declared – suffering a 1 in 100 year drought, along with areas across Northern Victoria and South East Queensland, we know that the dairy farmers supplying us in these regions are doing it particularly tough.
Funds distribution
Distribution to drought affected areas
Every cent of the funds raised by this wholesale price increase in each state (NSW, VIC and QLD) will be distributed to drought-affected dairy farmers who supply Dairy Farmers and Pura milk in that state.
