More than 150 farmers, their families and community members attended the Pleasant Hills Hall last week to "take their minds off their troubles".
Rotary Club of Albury North president Rob Simmons said the community barbecue was to "raise farmers spirits".
"We have a number of members who are part of the farming community - some active and some retired," he said.
