    <description>&lt;P&gt;A very worthy charity to support and help our farmers who struggle through bad timed that are not the farmers fault. I admire those people that battle floods, fire and draught to keep the Dairy and Meat production going.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In those bad tines, most of them have an income of much less than a person on the dole,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I live in a fertile region. We have had no bushfires, no floods and no cyclones. (even though everyone here complains about the weather)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Years ago our local farmers had a Hay collection. Some supplied their trucks and a group were fund raising the money to pay for the fuel needed to deliver the hay to some struggling farmers up north.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The first collection was a great success. Half the town was at our old Railway Station watching 11 trucks being loaded and starting on their journey.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Buy a Bale is an incentive for people to donate and get something back in return. The calendar is beautiful and a daily reminder of how much we need the food those farmers provide.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for posting, Icy. Our summer is just ahead with more draught areas predicted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Erica&lt;/P&gt;</description>
