Hundreds of bales of donated hay, emblazoned with smiley faces and messages like "kia kaha", are heading to Hawkes Bay this weekend as part of the Rapa Feed Run. Organisers Sophie and Daniel Hansen are hoping the convoy of trucks will nail home the desperate need of their farming cousins further north and remind those farmers they have plenty of community support.
