Over the past two weeks dairy farmer Jason Maloney raised $266,000 to save his business – then his accountants delivered bad news.

| Jason Maloney has spoken out about how much the drought is affecting his dairy farm. |
The farmer launched a Gofundme crowdfunding campaign for his property at Jamberoo, NSW, asking for support from his community “with tears running down my face”.
Maloney says he reached the point where his feeding creditors had pretty much “cut me off” and raising funds to buy food for his cattle was critical.
The campaign took off quickly and more than 4000 donations have so far been secured for the business.
