The Federal Government has announced a $1 million funding boost to assist dairy farmers to lower their energy costs.

 

Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fishers and Forestry Sid Sidebottom said the funding will be provided to Dairy Australia, who will then give tailored energy advice to fairy farmers.

 

“This grant will help dairies, who have high energy needs, to identify energy efficiency measures that will save them money,” Mr Sidebottom said.

 

“Dairy Australia will provide energy efficiency advice to dairy farms, including on-farm energy efficiency assessments at over 900 farms.”
