How long will the initiative run?

The initiative will run from May 21, 2007 to November 18, 2007, and apply to sales of Bega products during that time.

Are you only helping Bega farmers?

No. This campaign is national and extends to all farming industries. The funds will be distributed by the CWAA. The CWAA then allocates the funds between its state divisions, who provide assistance to farmers in need.

How do farmers and community groups apply for relief or funding?

All enquiries surrounding financial relief should be directed to the national body of the CWAA and not to state divisions. Lesley Young, National President CWAA: (03) 6426 7235 / 0419 326 250 / elphin.grove@bigpond.com
