YOU would have been hard-pressed to find a parking spot in Yinnar recently after 25 Need For Feed trucks loaded with fodder arrived in town.
Volunteer drivers made their way from Nar Nar Goon with more than 600 bales of hay to assist the region’s farmers heavily impacted by last month’s wild storm.
The cavalcade made a pit stop in Yinnar around noon before delivering fodder to 20 commercial farms and 15 lifestyle properties in the Yinnar and Heyfield districts.

Need for Feed founder Graham Cockerell, who started the organisation in response to the 2006 East Gippsland bushfires, said the fodder was well-received by farmers who often put their livestock’s needs before their own.
