The coronavirus health crisis caused some short-term problems to farmers in NSW, but they continue to stay connected and busy
Cowra producer and NSW Farmers vice-president Chris Groves said members are used to the tyranny of distance.
"The fact that rain has fallen across many parts of the state has provided a strong positive boost to many that far outweighs the potential impact of COVID-19," he said.
"The rain has been very welcome and farmers across the state are keeping an eye on the forecasts for follow-up rainfall. While this break has been welcome, there is more rain needed in many areas to fill on-farm dams and increase river flows."

Shoppers panic buying in metropolitan areas caused a short-term impact as a result of the pandemic, Mr Groves said.
"This was frustrating for may who's normal 'shop' has to be strategic due to time and distance - so very frustrating if adequate supplies are not available. This situation seems to be easing now," he said.
Another frustrating issue for the vice-president is for the farmers who completely missed out on rain and are still experiencing severe drought conditions.
"This applies particularly to the far south west of the state, the south coast and hinterland and the top of the northern tablelands," Mr Groves said of the drought affected areas.
Some grain growers will face significant planting costs and will not see a return until November/December.
"There will be additional costs and pressure on already reduced cash-flow," Mr Groves said. "That's why NSW Farmers is proposing a co-contribution of up to $75,000 from the Australian Government to help with these added costs and kick-start the growing season - particularly important at this time when food security as a result of COVID-19 restrictions are in place."
While the world finds new ways to connect while social distancing, the Cowra producer encouraged other farmers to remain health and active, plus connected through technology and other sources.
"We know that farmers tend to have lower levels of mobile and internet coverage and that there are added demands affecting upload and download speeds that might affect their interacts with family and friends," Mr Groves said.
"Any issues with telecommunications should be raised with your Retail Service Provider so that you can be assured that you have the right equipment, that it's fitted correctly, and that you are on the best plan for your needs."
