NEW HARDSHIP FUND FOR DAIRY FARMERS

The Government has just announced a new hardship fund that will enable dairy farmers to access a grant of up to £10,000.  We await further details, but the announcement suggests that eligible dairy farmers will be those who have lost more than 25% of their income over April and May due to coronavirus disruptions, with the grant covering 70% of lost income during these months.  We will circulate further details when received and the announcement is on the following link:  New funding to support dairy farmers through coronavirus
