When 10-year-old Jack heard about how tough life is for our farmers during the drought, he decided he had to do something about it.

Jack Berne has already raised over $1.5 million through his fundraiser Fiver for a Farmer, which supports the charities Drought Angels and Rural Aid.

This year, Jack is encouraging everyone to dress up as a farmer on August 2 and donate $5 to drought-stricken farmers.

He joined Ben Fordham in studio, telling him he’d recently visited a farm in Queensland and was amazed by the farmers he met.

“They are the happiest people you will ever meet. They never have a frown on their face.

“They always say this one thing, which is ‘I am not the worst’.

“And it’s true sometimes they aren’t the worst, but I think that doesn’t mean they can’t ask for help. They can ask for help.”

NOW | Jack Berne is no ordinary 11-year-old boy.

He is the mastermind behind ‘A Fiver for a Farmer’ – a fundraising campaign that has raised more than $1.5 million dollars!
