The government is facing calls to expand a fund set up to support farmers affected by flooding to those base in Shropshire.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs announced that applications for its Farming Recovery Fund opened today.
The department added that eligibility for the fund will remain under review"to ensure it is supporting areas where farmland is most impacted". Robert Newbery, NFU regional director, said: “We know Shropshire farmers are under pressure personally and financially and we are doing all we can to make the case to Government on their behalf.
“Farmers will want to see further action and commitments on domestic food production and that includes support at times of extreme weather events and plans in place to alleviate the problem in the first place.” “I have a meeting with our South Shropshire MP tonight and farmland flooding and current difficulties for our farms will be at the top of the agenda.
