Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is calling on organisers of grassroots producer events held in the new financial year to submit their applications for sponsorship funding.
MLA offers sponsorship support and expert speakers for events and initiatives bringing long-term benefit and add value to the red meat industry.
All events contributing to industry and provide a worthwhile experience for producers and others in the value chain are eligible for financial support or resources on the day.
First round MLA event sponsorship opportunities include applications for all sponsorships up to $10,000 for events held between July 1 to December 31.
Applications for first round MLA sponsorship close Friday May 19 and details are on the MLA website.
While all events that bring benefit to red meat producers are considered, priority is given to those related to livestock production which build awareness of research and development (R&D) and stimulate adoption of new tools, technologies and practices.
In the last year, MLA has supported over 120 events, including Growing Sheep in the West Wimmera, Mackay Grazing Forum 2017, Barossa Improved Grazing Group Extension Events and the Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association AGM and Industry Conference.
