Sending hay to Lightning Ridge
Donation protected
Lightning Ridge sits in north-western New South Wales, Australia and is currently suffering through a crippling drought that has seen little rainfall and farmers hand feeding their stock for the past 3 years.
In these droughts, there is no grass or feed of any kind covering the ground - just dust. Farmers must resort to feeding all of their stock hay and grain to survive.
After hearing a radio interview talking about how bad the conditions were in the Lightning Ridge area, John Burton, the founder of Burton Contractors decided to send up two truck loads of hay to help the farmers with a third truck load currently being organised.
In organising these hay drops for John, I have been able to talk to a wide variety of farmers and the difference these drops make to their spirit is amazing. I am aiming to send two more trucks full of hay to help the farmers of Lightning Ridge and surrounds and say thanks for feeding this great nation!
A large round bale of hay cost $70 each so please consider donating a bale from yourself, your family or your business. Perhaps half a bale or whatever you can afford. I will be delivering this hay and will ensure that all of the farmers know exactly who donated the bales that they take home with them.
Please consider helping these wonderful people who work 365 days a year in awful conditions just to provide food for us.
