A farmer has stripped down and embraced the first downpour in months as the country suffers through an excruciating drought.
Despite the recent downfall in parts of New South Wales and Queensland on Saturday, the country is still in the midst of an extreme drought.
But one farmer from regional NSW was captured in pure ecstasy as he bared all and ran into the muddied plains of his land savouring every moment of the rainfall.

The 19 second video captures the farmer naked donning his beige Acubra hat. While splashing through the shallow puddles he cheers with joy.

The woman behind the camera responds, ‘now that is a naked farmer’.
The video has been shared 13,000 times and amassed more than 800 comments in less than a day.
