Speed shear raises hundreds<br />
Pendarves Young Farmers, Farmstrong and Rakaia’s<br />
Railway Tavern raised hundreds of dollars for<br />
Farmstrong, hosting aYoung Farmers Speed Shear<br />
event atthe tavern last weekend.<br />
Farmstrong is an initiative designed to give farmers<br />
the skills and resources to live well, farm well and get<br />
the most out of life.<br />
The total figure raised is yet to be finalised but<br />
Pendarves Young Farmers president David Bell said<br />
‘‘it was aripper’’.<br />
There was an impressive figure raised bydonations<br />
on door entry alone, hesaid.<br />
Money was raised through door entry, through an on<br />
site auction, abucket collection during the night and<br />
generously from apercentage of the bar takings on the<br />
night.<br />
Mr Bell said 18 shearers got involved helping to raise<br />
money for the organisationand making it an enjoyable<br />
event for all involved.<br />
They were mostly experienced shearers who took to<br />

Farmers <strong>Ashburton</strong> staff were proud to hand over<br />
$4047 to Nurse Maude and Mid Canterbury<br />
Hospice recently, the result of some special pre<br />
Christmas sales.<br />
Farmers stores around the country sold hospice<br />
baubles and took donations, and put memorial cards<br />
on adedicated remembrance tree, raising $739,349.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> store proceeds will be split<br />
between Nurse Maude, which provides clinical<br />
services to terminallyill patientsinthe district, and<br />
Mid Canterbury Hospice which provides other<br />
support.<br />
Mid Canterbury Hospice manager Christine<br />
Wilson said they were grateful for the support and<br />
the money would bewell used.<br />
Nurse Maude Canterbury manager Jane Rollings<br />
said the project not only raised money for<br />
hospice, but helped start conversations about<br />
hospice work.<br />
‘‘It is not only about the money but the<br />
community understanding what hospice is all<br />
about. What you have raised isincredible for a<br />
small store,’’ she told Farmers staff.<br />
She said the money raised locally would go<br />
directly to supporting patients and families.<br />
Store manager Grant Moffitt said the hospice<br />
baubles had been selling for five years and staff<br />
embraced the project annually. Many had family<br />
members who had used hospice services. ‘‘Understanding<br />
makesiteasier for us to ask for donations.<br />
We can explain what happens and demystify<br />
hospice abit.’’<br />
(clean, won by Tes Paewai; senior, won by Izaac<br />
Duckmanton; open,won by HemiPower) but acouple<br />
of firsttimers were keen togive it agoand no doubt<br />
alittle fazedbeing watched by aWorld Blade Shearing<br />
Champion at the event.<br />
The Pendarves Young Farmers were joined by all<br />
the youngfarmers clubs in the districtatthe beginning<br />
of the nighttotake part in aboot challenge. It was won<br />
by the Pendarves club.<br />
Also attending on the night were agroup from the<br />
Waimakariri Young Farmers, as well asshearers from<br />
Rangiora along with some international shearers from<br />
Wales.<br />
Farmstrong events encourage farmers to get offfarm<br />
for afew hours and have achat to people or just<br />
simply get off farm for abeer and abreak. The speed<br />
shear event ticked all those boxes.<br />
Mentalwellbeingoffarmers is becoming avery large<br />
issue in our rural communities with all of the external<br />
pressures that are being placed on them such as<br />
national policies, weather events, market prices.<br />
