Farmers who want help from the government to recover from the recent floods have to get their applications for support in by the 1st of April.
Farmers in Cumbria and Lancashire whose businesses have suffered during Storm Desmond and Storm Eva could be entitled to up to £20,000.
The Rural Payments Agency is handling the Farming Recovery Fund which can be used to restore land; rebuild tracks; repair drains; and reinstate boundaries.
Farming Minister George Eustice said: “These payments are part of a wider £200million package of government support set up to help communities affected by the devastating floods in Northern England. The grants could make a real difference to farm businesses trying to get back on their feet.
“So far 107 applications worth over £1.1million have been submitted to the RPA and the agency has been acting swiftly and doing a great job approving applications within 10 working days.”
"But I want every eligible flood-affected farmer to be able to access this vital money as soon as possible to help them get back to normal. Help is at hand via the Rural Services Helpline and farmers wanting support to apply should call 03000 200 301.”
