Hawkes Bay Federated Farmers has set up an emergency group to help co-ordinate support for farmers affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Farmers can access a feed co-ordination service and the Farmy Army for assistance.
Hawkes Bay Federated Farmers President Jim Galloway says it's too soon to say how many stock have been lost in the flooding or how much productive land has been lost.
He tells Susie a government support package won't touch the sides and much more financial assistance will be needed.
