A new scheme to assist drought-affected farmers in New South Wales has been unveiled today as more than a quarter of the state deals with worsening dry conditions.

The NSW Drought Transport Fund will provide up to $20,000 in low-interest loans, with a two-year interest and repayment-free period.
The fund is intended to help eligible landholders pay for farming freight costs, including water cartage, fodder transport and to shift stock to agistment.
