Apart from me …. THE MOST FAMOUS FLOODED FARM IS INELIGIBLE… you should be ashamed of yourselves
Today we’ve activated the Farming Recovery Fund, providing eligible farmers with up to £25,000 to restore their land following flood damage.
We continue to support farmers, and since 2015 we’ve protected over 900,000 acres of agricultural land from flooding.
