A little ray of sunshine out Casino way

 

Richmond River Times, 3 March 2021

















A 52 ha mixed soybean, corn and cane farm on the Casino Coraki Road in the NSW Northern Rivers plants sunflowers as a rotation crop.


When the sunflowers are in full bloom in the roadside paddocks the mass effect attracts both locals and tourists. Photos with the crop in the background seem to be the order of the day.


This year cut sunflowers blooms were available at the roadside for a donation via a secure charity box to allow visitors depart with a handful of sunshine. 


All money raised went to the Casino Cancer Group.


Hopefully sunflowers will be a crop visible from the road again next year.
