Selfless farmers who raised $10,500 towards the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association bushfire relief appeal on a tractor drive from Smithton to Dunalley this month handed the cheque over to TFGA president David Gatenby at Ulverstone today.

Local businesses made the tractors available and found the fuel for the trip.

“We want to thank everyone who supported us,” organiser Kyle Robinson said.

Mr Gatenby said it had been a tremendous gesture of support for fellow farmers.

“When you need a friend they are always there,” he said.
