1,300 Bales of Hay Donated to Provide Hope to Farmers
A convoy of a dozen B-doubles rolled into Condobolin for another Farmers Community Connect event, gifting over 100 farmers with free A-grade hay bales.
More than 1,300 hay bales were distributed to farmers from Condobolin and surrounds who had been impacted by the recent record floods in the area.
More than 275 burgers and 245 coffees were served, with over 100 locals joining in on what a great day it was. Farmers also had access to mental health and support services on the day.
“It was a tremendous event and more than a hundred locals turned out for the Farmers Community Connect event on Friday,”
