But NSW Farmers' president James Jackson says that's not as simple as it sounds.
On one side of the debate, Mr Jackson said there were those who want state and federal governments to pick up the costs of mitigating the drought.
He said on the other side there were farmers who consider drought a normal part of operating environments.
"We have farmers who are not unanimous in their view on how drought policy should be managed," Mr Jackson said.
The drought round table, to convene in Sydney tomorrow at 3.30pm, will see Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud, National Farmers Federation and the state farming groups including NSW Farmers' Association talking drought.
At the round table, Mr Jackson said he would provide a snapshot of what's happening around NSW.
"There is no rain and people are at the end of their tether," he said.
Mr Jackson said he would be asking for accelerated infrastructure spending in the regions to "keep economies ticking over".
"We need economic stimulus in the regions now," he said.
Mr Jackson said they were getting feedback that people were struggling to meet the requirements for accessing state and federal government assistance packages.
"What we are hearing and the statistics don't align," he said.
"You only have to eyeball the country to see it's not flash."
Mr Jackson said the usual response from the government was questions, including: why isn't there more foreclosures and why is there money in farm management deposits?
"This is a fair response," he said.
"There is still billions of dollars in people's deposits as part of their drought response.
"Assessing everyone has not drawn down on their farm management bonds is a flawed way of assessing whether there is any stress in the system.
"Some people have decided to sell stock and buy back after the drought and that money is there to buy back, and it's a bit too early to buy back now."
He said most farmers had already done a fair amount of drought preparedness.
"Like myself they have done water reticulation and silos, which are all valuable responses to drought," he said. "It's really hurting me on my place."
Mr Jackson is down to 100 head of cattle after selling 500 animals and he has sold all of his cross bred ewes.
"We copped a hiding selling calves for $300 when they were making $1200 the year before," he said.
"Everyone is taking a hit, it's happening across the state I'm not Robinson Crusoe."
