From Floods in the North to Drought in the South

It’s been a hard start to farming in 2025.We know what it’s like to stare down a season that knocks the wind out of you. We’ve lived it. And we know that in times like these, a bit of outside help can make all the difference.  Government grants, disaster payments, freight subsidies, allowance support, there are a few lifelines out there.  They won’t fix everything, however a bit of support can help when you’re trying to keep things going.
We’ve pulled together the main links to grants and funding available. If it helps even just a little, then it’s worth it.
Take a look, share it with your neighbours, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a yarn.
We’re in this with you. Always.
