The South Australian Farmers Federation has recommended its members vote for the current 2 per cent levy at the upcoming WoolPoll vote.
The farmer representative body is the first in Australia to make a public recommendation.
WoolPoll is where wool growers from around the country vote on how much of their wool income goes to research, development and marketing body Australian Wool Innovation.
The wool committees of other state farmer organisations are meeting in coming weeks to decide if they'll make a recommendation, and if so what it'll be.
They're not yet commenting publicly, but say it's unlikely they'll recommend a zero per cent option to their members.
A zero per cent result would mean the end of AWI, and its research, marketing and development programs.
Wool grower representitive body WoolProducers says it'll make a recommendation when it hears from its members, which are made up of most of the state based farmer organisations.
State farmer groups however are encouraging growers to take part in WoolPoll and vote, saying if they don't they're letting other people make a decision for them.
The Australian wool industry was spooked by New Zealand wool growers' decision earlier in the month to dump their research and development body
