A new video has shown mice raining from the sky in central west NSW as farmers try to battle through a seemingly endless horror rodent plague.

ABC journalist Lucy Thackray shared a video showing dead and live mice falling to the ground in central west NSW, as a farmer tried to clean out their silo.

"Even if grains in silos, mice can get to it. Like Tyler Jones discovered in Tullamore when cleaning out the auger and it started raining mice,” Ms Thackray said on Twitter.

Farmers are pushing for support from the NSW government over the mouse plague, which they say puts them at risk of losing entire crops.
