NFU Deputy President Meurig Raymond said: “We welcome today’s announcement by the NFSCo, which will be administering the funds released by Defra to help those English farmers who battled heroically against some of the worst snowdrifts in living memory.
“The NFU has worked hard to ensure that this limited amount of money is targeted to help those businesses worst affected and we hope this will come as some relief to those farms during what has been a distressing time.”
