“Growers are at the heart of Sydney Markets’ business. Our community has a unique insight into the challenges faced by Aussie farmers and their families.
“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these difficult conditions and we hope that our contribution makes a difference to some of those who need it most.”
Across Australia thousands of farmers and their families are enduring some of the worst drought conditions seen in many years. It has now been confirmed that 100 per cent of NSW is in drought.
The appeal has raised more than $7.3 million which will be administered by Rotary Australia and distributed to farmers in need with the help of the National Farmers’ Federation.
