	Description:		The Big Feed is a rural telethon designed to help hungry Kiwi families this Christmas season, and it's airing on December 15th. The Big Feed will be hosted by Meat The Need co-founder and vice president of Federated Farmers Wayne Langford. Wayne Langford is also known as “YOLO Farmer” through his mental health support work. Wayne Langford joined up with Siobhan O’Malley to set up the charity Meat The Need in order to help farmers donate food and livestock to Kiwi families in need. The charity has already raised over 1 million mince meals since 2020 along with more than 290,000 servings of milk. The Country's Jamie Mackay says next Thursday's Big Feed event will run for 12 hours as a live event on social media, and feature farmers from all across the country.
