Financial Support Available To Farmers After Flooding
Written by HFM News on 9th April 2024
Farmers across Leicestershire and West Northamptonshire who suffered uninsurable damage to their land during flooding earlier this year can now receive financial support.
The government’s Farming Recovery Fund has opened today and grants of up to £25,000 are available to those eligible for support, who will be contacted directly by the Rural Payments Agency.
The areas are among nine nationwide to be part of the scheme and Farming Minster Mark Spencer said: “I know how difficult this winter has been for farmers, with extreme weather such as Storm Henk having a devastating impact on both cropping and grazing, as well as damaging property and equipment.
“The Farming Recovery Fund will support farmers who suffered uninsurable damage with grants of up to £25,000, and sits alongside broader support in our farming schemes to improve flood resilience.”
