正文(英文) | Farmers affected by this summer's flooding can now apply for support through the Farming Recovery Fund A £2 million fund to help farmers affected by summer flooding has opened for applications today (20 September). Through the Farming Recovery Fund, farmers in parts of North Yorkshire and Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, who have suffered uninsurable damage to their property can now apply for grants between £500 and £25,000 to cover a number of repair costs. This comes after the Government confirmed up to £5.25 million to support wider recovery work in the area, including the repair of roads and bridges and activating the Bellwin scheme, which can be utilised when an emergency involving the destruction of or danger to life or property occurs, to reimburse local authorities for emergency work in flood-affected areas. Grants under the Farming Recovery Fund are available for a range of farm restoration work, including rebuilding dry stone walls, re-cultivating productive land and replacing damaged field gates. A handbook has been published today with full details of what is eligible and how to apply for funding. Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers said:
To apply for this funding, farmers must submit an application to the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) which explains how their business has been impacted and provides the relevant evidence to show any damage caused by the flooding. For applications covering damage where the applicant has already paid for repairs, farmers should provide copies of any receipts and quotes to help the RPA process them as quickly as possible. RPA Chief Executive Paul Caldwell said:
Farmers will have until 31 March 2020 to submit an application for this funding. NFU Vice President Stuart Roberts said:
