Aid to be available for those who want it
Farmers who want financial help after this year's weather-related issues will be able to apply to government for aid.
It's after Tynwald last night backed the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture's proposal for a £1.2 million drough relief scheme.
One member, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, said he'd been contacted by farmers who queried the need for such a scheme, saying things hadn't been as bad as they'd been made out to be.
But DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot said that wasn't the impression he'd been given.
