Wairarapa farmers send feed north to Hawke's Bay

From Morning Report, 8:40 am on 11 May 2020

Farmers in Wairarapa are banding together to send feed north to their drought-stricken neighbours in Hawke's Bay. That's despite feed for livestock being in short supply nationwide.

Wairarapa farmers Sophie and Daniel Hansen were inspired to set up the Rapa Feed Run after learning of similar efforts in Australia during the recent bushfire season.

Farmers in the region are asked to donate whatever excess feed they can, with volunteers taking care of logistics.

Sophie Hansen speaks to Corin Dann.
