Farmers are starting to pull their networks together to give people a chance to talk through how they are coping (or not coping) in the drought. Yesterday, Hawke's Bay sheep farmer, Mark Warren talked about the difficulties of pulling lambs out of mud in his dams. Hugh Wallace, a dairy farmer from Wharepapa, south of Te Awamutu, decided it was time for a Drought Shout, getting the community together at the local hall for a few beers, a bbq and a moment to see how everyone is coping.
