The forum was arranged so those affected by drought can access information on assistance and support services.
Representatives from TFGA, Rural Alive and Well, Safe Farming Tasmania, Rural Business Tasmania, Tasmanian Fire Service and the Tasmanian government will speak at the forum.
Maintaining farm biosecurity will also be discussed, as reducing weeds, pests and diseases on farms can also reduce the burden of drought.
A community barbecue will follow the presentations.
The free event will be held on Thursday at Bark Mill Bakery, Tasman Highway, Swansea, between 4pm and 6pm.
RSVP to TFGA by calling 6332 1800 or email at comms@tfga.com.au.
