Funding for WA's skeleton weed eradication program looks set to continue after results from a survey of grain, seed and hay producers have shown support for the program.

A group of 474 producers responded to the survey, representing 20 per cent of the revenue base for the eradication program.

Grains, Seeds and Hay Industry Funding Scheme Committee Chairman Barry Large said he had taken the response as a mandate to not only continue funding the program at current levels, but to consider an increase next year.

He said the committee would make a decision in March next year about funding levels.

"We'll make a decision about whether or not to increase the levy by looking at what it costs to run the program for the following year and what contributions we have received over the past harvest," Mr Large said.

'Then we will put this recommendation to the minister."

Mr Large said the committee had no intention to stockpile grower funds for long periods.

He said he had been disappointed with the initial low levels of interest in the survey; however, the end result was now statistically valid.

"I took it that people didn't bother to respond as a sign of support for the status quo," Mr Large said.

He said 86 per cent of those who responded supported a continuation of the program.

"This represents a clear indication from industry that skeleton weed is a priority issue to be funded through the scheme," Mr Large said.

The committee will seek further feedback from industry.
