For Our Aussie Farmers - Central Coast

Donation protected
In 2018 / 2019 over 90,000 Australians bought a bale of hay for our farmers. This allowed Rural Aid to provide more than $30m worth of hay, water and financial assistance to farmers in the worst hit areas.

But the drought isn’t over, in fact our farmers are currently experiencing the worst drought in recorded history. So Australia, It’s time to Buy another Bale.

Can you help us Buy another Bale? Show our farmers that we are all in this together and Buy another Bale today!


Australian farmers are the backbone of our country. For hundreds of years they've fed us all. Now they need our support to keep their cattle alive after the cessation of live cattle exports, no wet season and fires.

With all funds going directly to Rural Aid's Buy a Bale  campaign,  we're aiming to raise $50,000 from locals throughout the Central Coast to help farmers across Australia!

Andrew Cooney Photography  has documented the areas most affected by the drought to raise awareness for what's happening and how bad it really is. See for yourself here!

Rural Aid Community Ambassador, Crystal Russom, and a team of volunteers successfully collected enough donations at the Central Coast For Our Farmers Donation Drive  to fill 2 semi-trailers. The goods were delivered Packsaddle Roadhouse in October 2018, where they were distributed to local farming families doing it tough - but there's still more we can do, because this drought is far from over!

Your donation can provide meaningful support for farmers by delivering hay and other essential items to farmers who have no feed left for their cattle.

What your donation gets: 

$20 buys a small bale of hay and helps transport it to the affected areas
