Storm Henk: Grants for affected farmers

The Farming Recovery Fund supports the cost of reinstating agricultural land which flooded between 2 and 12 January 2024.

You will get £130 per hectare. The RPA will indicate how many hectares of your land are eligible.

The minimum grant available is £500. The maximum grant available is £25,000.

Farmers will be able to receive payments for all land parcels which are flooded contiguous to a river that had notably high river level gauge readings during that time.

Eligible places in Leicestershire are: Rothley Brook, River Wreake and River Soar

All you need to do is download the form the RPA sends you, check it and sign. You need to do this by 10 July.
