| Flood-affected farmers should report their losses and damages by calling 1800 226 226, Agriculture Victoria says. Those with urgent animal welfare needs are being advised to call the VicEmergency Hotline (operating 24/7) on 1800 226 226. Aimed at helping flood-affected agri-businesses and farmers, the $19.5 million Primary Producer Flood Relief Program will deliver a one-off $10,000 payment – administered by Rural Finance – to primary producers directly affected by the floods to help them clean up, re-establish their properties, and get their businesses up and running again. The grants will cover activities like the removal and disposal of debris and injured or dead livestock, repairing essential equipment, fixing and replacing fencing, buying fodder, water and water storage, salvaging damaged crops, grain or feed, and hiring or purchasing materials to clean up a property or equipment. |
