The team will be in Narrabri to deliver 400 tonnes of livestock pellets to its list of eligible farmers, and to host a free barbecue lunch and coffee for all on the land in the Namoi Valley.
The pellets should feed some 10,000 animals in the area for a month, and it's intended the Farmers Community Connect lunch will fuel farmers' spirits.
RRT chairman Ron Arckoll said the lunch was "about bringing together both farmers and the community to grab a burger and coffee, have a chat with mates and support each other through some tough times".
