To support farmers affected by Storms Babet, Henk and severe wet weather, we’re providing a one-off Recovery Payment to help cover the uninsured costs of restoring farmland. Payments will range from £2,895 to £25,000, based on the level of damage. Following our announcement this summer, we’re now able to confirm how farmers were selected for this support.
Heavy rainfall has a devastating and long-term impact on farming. This disruption not only affects livelihoods but also has wider implications for food security and the economy too. We're introducing temporary adjustments and easements within the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), the SFI Pilot, Countryside Stewardship (CS) and Environmental Stewardship (ES) to support farmers and land managers dealing with the impacts of severe weather in England.
On 27 and 28 November, you can come and put your questions to us at the CropTec in Stoneleigh.
