Beef and Lamb New Zealand Central South Island extension manager Aaron Meikle said it was likely those events would be held later this month.
As well as providing advice on managing after the snow and wet weather, they would also give people a chance to ''get together for a bit of a yarn and exchange war stories'' and reflect on what worked and what did not.
The events were being organised with the support of a variety of rural organisations and would follow what had been a ''fairly busy and stressful month'', Mr Meikle said.
Beef and Lamb was transferring its resources from other field days it had planned, as the biggest issue farmers were facing now was dealing with the impact of snow and flooding.
The events were also a chance to thank those that had helped out in the rural communities.
''It seems to be, in Otago, the word got out early and widely and got a great response,'' Mr Meikle said.
While there was still ''a hell of a lot of snow'' in the worst-affected areas, he had not heard of any major stock losses.
Speight's South Island brand manager Chris Snow said the company would provide support for the functions.
Otago Rural Support Trust co-ordinator David Mellish yesterday also reiterated the ''overwhelming'' support that snow-stricken farmers received.
A large amount of food was distributed throughout the Clarks Junction and Central Otago areas at the weekend in an initiative driven by West Otago farmer Mary-Anne Kane.
Mrs Kane said she and her husband, Robert, encountered a bad snowstorm nearly four years ago when they were converting one of their farms to dairy.
Dairying was new to them and they were very appreciative of the support of the Southland Rural Support Trust, which made contact with them, and the Dairy Women's Network. The trust had remained in contact since then.
Spurred on by that experience, Mrs Kane decided she wanted to do something to help snow-stricken Otago farmers, so she contacted Janet Gregory, from the rural support trust, who rang a Gore radio station seeking food contributions.
Mrs Kane, who said she knew she could not snow-rake but she could cook, reckoned the biggest need would be for fresh fruit and vegetables, so she rang growers and sourced produce.
She and her husband also gave some meat and there was an ''overwhelming response'', she said.
By late afternoon yesterday, she had finished dropping a load of food off in Alexandra. The back of her ute and the back seat were ''absolutely chocker'' and an equivalent load was sent to Clarks Junction.
If more food was needed in another week, she would make another trip, she said.
It was nice to be able to reciprocate some of the help and moral support they had received, she said.
