Productive weekend! What else would you do on a wet day!? Pippa Lilian Ward 27.4.2024 🥰. Mum doing well. I’m a very proud Dad! ⁦Andrew Ward 🇬🇧🚜⁩ ⁦Rhonda Thompson 🇬🇧⁩ ⁦Liz Mottram⁩

British milk - £1.06 a litre
Water - £1.20 a litre

Whole chicken - £3.22

This is sounding better

now need clarification on the £130/ha. A flat rate payment is not good enough. There needs to be links to severity. I.E fields flooded for a couple of days vs us who are still under water can’t be treated as the same.
But certainly better news!

This is (I think) a step in the right direction… although still not clear if I’m eligible at shortferry. I wait on tenterhooks… I am running out of energy though… it’s bloody exhausting

Continuing questions tonight for Defra UK and the RPA about the criteria used for the distribution of The Flood Recovery Fund to farmers. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

If Henry Ward isn’t eligible for the flood recovery fund then it just goes to show how f***** the system is 🤬

(Not my normal thing to swear, but I feel justified in this case)

Apart from me …. THE MOST FAMOUS FLOODED FARM IS INELIGIBLE… you should be ashamed of yourselves

Extraordinary chat on #ScottAtBreakfast BBC Lincolnshire today with Henry Ward - the man dubbed 'Britain's most-flooded farmer' who can't get money from the fund set up to help flooded farmers!

TO LET…. Luxurious farm house on its own private island. Sea views and wildlife aplenty. Boat can be made available. DM for details

Never a truer word said in jest

This is a disgrace
He has stored water for months and nothing to help him get back farming

This is insane.

If you’re going to introduce a recovery fund for flooded farmers don’t immediately exclude the highest profile flooded farm in the country!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so cross / feel so sick / let down…. Being told I’m not eligible for the flood recovery fund! It’s a complete joke and insult. Talk about kick someone when they’re down! Andrew Ward 🇬🇧🚜 National Farmers' Union BBC News (UK) Paul Murphy Victoria Ward Robbie Moore MP

Being flat out today getting some land pulled over 😉

In the past few days Environment AgencySE pumps have started working to clear a 'sea' of water from Henry Ward's farm, after being underwater for nearly six months. Henry Ward #StormBabet
