The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has opened the Farming Recovery Fund (FRF) to provide grants for farmers in eligible areas affected by severe flooding caused by Storm Henk.
The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs has now opened its Farming Recovery Fund , with farmers from eligible areas being contacted by the Rural Payments Agency - an executive branch of Defra.
The government had originally announced in January its intention to open the fund, following severe flooding caused by Storm Henk., with March recorded to be the tenth month in a row to be the hottest on record for the time of year. Last month also saw England experience 62% more rainfall than an average March.Under the scheme, eligible farmers could receive grants ranging between £500 to £25,000 in order to return their land to the condition it was in before flooding occurred.
Farming Minister 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."
