NSW Drought
C3 Church, United Petroleum Donate to Farmers
More than 30 farming families from across Western NSW have been provided much needed food and fuel vouchers thanks to a joint partnership.
Thanks to United Petroleum, in conjunction with the C3 Church City Darlinghurst appeal, donated 60 United cards valued at a total of $30,000 to disadvantaged farmers across Wellington, Dubbo, Narromine, Peak Hill, Molong and Orange on June 7.
The United Petroleum Gift cards valued at $500 each may be redeemed for petrol, diesel or grocery purchases from the United Petroleum Dubbo site.
C3 Church also distributed three tonnes worth of free food in the form of hampers.
The special event was held at Dubbo’s Generosity Church with many of the farmers and representatives from the organisation’s in attendance.
Tim Lowe from C3 Church said being in the city they needed someone to partner with to ensure the right people were provided support, which is how they got in touch with Tanya and Luke Purcell form Charlotte’s Drought Journey.
One of those farmers who received help that day was Mitch Lyons who runs a mixed farming enterprise between Molong and Euchareena.
Mr Lyons said the fuel donation would come in handy for them.
“Everything is handy at the moment. it’s been very difficult over the last 18 months as far as paying bills,” he added.
“Both my wife and I have been working off-farm to try and pay for groceries… (so) any help is gratefully received.”
Mr Lyons said it wasn’t just farmers who are suffering, but many small businesses in rural towns.
“No-one has been able to spend the same amount of money because so much money has been spent on fodder and stock,” he said.
“We’re just not spending what we’d normally spend on living. You cut back as much as possible.”
Mr Lyons said to fill a tractor up it takes 400 litres of fuel, which equals to a days work.
The Lyons farming family run sheep, cropping and cattle on their property but have had to destock the cattle in recent times.
“We got about 25 per cent of the cattle that we had two years ago,” he explained.
“We’ve kept all of the breeding ewes.” the only thing that will help their situation is “three good years”, Mr Lyons said.
“It’s take three good years to try and get ourselves out of the extra debt we’re in…
“If it rains now in the winter time you’ve still won’t have a lot of feed until spring…”
Although it has been a tough time for farming family, Mr Lyons said it has been great to see people helping out.
“A lot of the guys further out west are doing it a lot tougher than us,” he added.
