Feed and grazing needed for flood affected farmers
27 July 2021
To all Members
With the flooding across the South Island and the prolonged dry conditions prior to this, we are needing feed and grazing for those impacted by the weather events of 2021. The Feed Coordination Service runs a willing buyer, willing seller service and will help connect you with a farmer who needs feed.
We have been able to support 146 farmers since March 2020 through the Feed Coordination Service and a large majority of this support has come directly from Feds Members. 182 farmers had feed, pasture or crops damaged in the May floods just in Canterbury and we know they will be feeling the pinch on this soon.
