Grapegrowers back levy

Two-thirds of South Australian grapegrowers who voted in a recent ballot have supported the continuation of the winegrape levy for another five years. They also elected to keep the levy at the current rate of $1 a tonne, which was set in 2008. Wine Grape Council of South Australia chief executive, Peter Hackworth, says despite tough conditions in the industry, growers recognise they need strong representation, reports ABC News.
