School kids and farmers pitch in for cattlemen

摘要

TIMES have been tough for dairy-farmers in south-east Queensland, but not tough enough to stop them from helping other farmers in need.A stint on a cattle station 13 years ago has inspired Lockyer Valley dairyfarmer Luke Stock to pitch in and help north-em cattle farmers as they battle crippling drought conditions.Late last year, Mr Stock donated 25 big square bales of barley hay to the Rural Connect initiative of St Mary's Catholic School in Laidley where his children attend. The initiative raised funds to buy bales of hay and other important resources to assistdrought-affected farmers in Queensland.
