Glen Innes financial councilor Stuart Brummell said he had about two weeks of vouchers left to distribute to farmers before the $2000 donations.

It's just in the nick of time.

"This demand is going to increase over the short period of time," said Mr Brummell.

"The current vouchers I have will last another two weeks, so these potentially would be at least two months or something like that."

That's all that has been left of the $27,000 donated by a group of Glen Innes and state-wide organisations for distribution as cards. Money can be spent on everything from stock feed to farm vehicle tyres, fuel and food.

He has been doling out help since October 2018, and said he will be doing so for longer still. Even if it rains tomorrow, the financial impact will persist for around 18 months to 2 years.

"I think there's no doubt that the impact of droughts linger for a long, long time. We think the financial impact hasn't even started yet basically."

Quota president Kerrie Sturtidge said the voluntary organisation initially thought they might donate directly, but decided it was a better idea to go through a professional.

"A lot of people out there are too proud and we don't know what their situation is, whereas Stuart knows the situation," she said.

"He's there everyday, he's seeing it firsthand."

She said Quota members had been affected by the drought personally, so they were keen to help out.

"I think we're all affected by the drought - businesses as well as family and friends, somehow or other we're all affected by the drought."

Stuart Brummell said the start of Spring has forced farmers to make hard decisions.

"People are making substantial decisons currently. People, particularly livestock producers, have said we'll wait until Spring, it's bound to rain by Spring," he said.

"Now it hasn't rained, their next step is now - do we continue feed or do we destock.

"A lot of people are making the hard decision to destock."
