Get grant requests in now, farmers told
All farmers in Northumberland left out of pocket by flooding caused by Storm Desmond or Storm Eva are eligible to apply for support grants of up to £20,000.
Farmers suffering from uninsurable losses can apply, via the Rural Payments Agency, for funding to help restore farmland, rebuild tracks and repair drains and reinstate boundaries.
