Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on what flooding support is available for Welsh farmers?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
We continue to invest heavily in Flood Management in Wales with more that £75m of funding delivered last financial year.
We are committed to create better flood defences as well as investing in Nature-based Solutions to flooding.
We support farmers through a range of schemes to enhance performance and build resilience into their businesses. Where farmers are unable to meet contract requirements due to severe weather, we would encourage them to contact RPW at the earliest opportunity via their on-line account.
