Help support farmers affected by bushfires
NSW Farmers has activated its natural disaster fund to accept cash donations to support farmers in northern NSW affected by the recent bushfires.

NSW Farmers chief executive officer Annabel Johnson said recent bushfires in NSW had severely impacted communities already battling drought-like conditions, with pasture burnt and expensive repair bills on the way.
“Any cash donations will be welcomed and distributed to those who need it.”
