The first truck load was delivered to Martindale, west of Denman, on Thursday afternoon.
The race day, which was held in March, raised $20,000 for the Buy A Bale Hunter campaign – a partnership between the Mercury, Newcastle Herald, Dungog Chronicle, Scone Advocate, Hunter Valley News and charity Rural Aid.
The campaign has given Hunter farmers more than $560,000 worth of help with hay, water, groceries and freight. Many farmers still need help to survive.
