Western Plains locals have donated at least 350 hay bales under an effort to keep Taree farmers kicking after May floods devastated farmland in the region.

Gulargambone Lions Club members helped organise to transport 120 bales from local farmers in June, with another 30 expected to hit the road in early July.

Another 200 have been donated from Narromine and ten from Coolah.

The donations are part of a broader effort by Lions Clubs Australia after the Mid North Coast town copped over 700 millimetres of rain in a month.

"They've got nothing. It's been a month since it happened and nothing is growing. It's all dirt and mud. It's still wet," Gulargambone Lions member Colin Ryan said in June.

"We also sent a Lions Christmas cake for each drop off with the truck driver."

Truck drivers from Geurie, about 30 kilometres southeast of Dubbo, collected bales last week from Gulargambone.

The NSW government's Rural Assistance Authority will cover costs to transport the feed.

Taree experienced its annual rainfall in just days in May, with floodwaters in the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions isolating farms and washing livestock away.

Bales damaged by water are also a health risk to animals due to potential mould.

Anne Jones has been coordinating the hay donations within Australia Lions Club's N4 District and said they will accept them "for as long as it's needed."

"Farmers treasure their hay because who knows what's going to happen with the winter being so cold at the moment and nothing growing," Ms Jones said.
