TRC announces Storm Recovery Package for farmers
The
Taranaki Regional Council is offering a $500,000 Storm
Recovery Package to help Taranaki farmers recover from
June’s extreme weather.
Council Chairman David MacLeod says the Council has recognized the need to support farmers in their environmental activities.
“This was an extreme event and farmers might expect to be hit by such extraordinary damage only once or twice in a lifetime of farming.
“In many cases, years of investment and hard work that farmers have put into their properties through the Council’s Riparian and Sustainable Land Management Programmes were devastated by flooding and erosion over a couple of days.
The heavy rain and flooding in June caused extensive slipping, soil erosion and damage to fencing in the eastern hill country and on the ring plain where some farms lost hundreds of metres of riparian planting.
