Federated Farmers have activated their 0800 DROUGHT free telephone line which is available to all farmers. It is primarily a feed line that matches farmers who have surplus feed to those in need. 

Alternatively Farmers of New Zealand advise that people wanting assistance with identifying feed available should ring 09 430 3758 or 09 439 5219.
