AUSTRALIANS are being asked to buy a bale of hay as part of a fundraising campaign launched this week, which aims to keep struggling farmers on the land.
Stemmed from northern cattle producers tough season with no live trade export, drought and bushfires which burnt feed stocks, the Aussie Helpers' Buy a Bale Campaign has received calls of assistance from Victoria, Tasmania, NSW and Queensland.
Just days in the making, the campaign has received almost $10,000 in donations as well as $100,000 from the Bartercard Charity Foundation.
Aussie Helpers head Brian Egan said the calls for assistance reflect a tough time for Australian agriculture.
"The donations will save someone and our only agenda is to keep people on the land," Brian said.
"Many of these farmers won't just fail financially, but may become victims of depression through no fault of their own making,"

Oscar Wild once said 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' but qualified that by saying 'it is the highest form of intelligence' . His 'qualifier' has just been roundly disproved *pepe

Good to see that the omission of the 'e' was the only problem you had with the content.
Thanks for that

You're welcome.
Bit rich commenting on someone's intelligence when you can't even get the spelling of such a well-known name right.

Fortunately a typo could be deemed a 'mechanical' mistake. Not so intelligence or the lack thereof.
Richness of spirit trumps them both.
