Stressful and exhausted farmers in the north of New South Wales (NSW) are asking the state government for assistance as they continue to suffer the impacts of the flood crisis.

Dugald Saunders, the NSW minister for agriculture, said the state government had included fodder drops, vet assessments and disposal of dead stock in the list of priorities.
