Grants available for Farmers

FARMERS are being invited to bid in Somerset’s biggest ever auction for works to reduce flooding, boost agriculture and improve the environment.

The event is being organised by the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest (FWAG SW) for Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) and Bristol Water.

Cllr David Hall, Chair of Somerset Rivers Authority, said: ‘This will be our fourth online auction and this year farmers are being offered a choice of up to 12 different measures, more than ever before. The aim is to help slow the flow of water down to vulnerable areas while delivering other benefits. Moves like grassland slitting and subsoiling, for example, don’t just aerate the ground and let more rain filter in, they also improve the soil.

‘So farmers are being asked to think about win-wins. If there are simple things that can be done that benefit everyone, grants may be available.’

Total funding available this year is £60,000, the biggest sum yet, with £40,000 coming from the SRA, and £20,000 from Bristol Water. Bristol Water’s money is reserved for two areas. The first is within roughly four miles of Westbury-sub-Mendip and includes Chewton Mendip, Wookey, Wedmore and Cheddar. The second is the Egford Borehole catchment north of Nunney near Frome. Bristol Water especially wants to reduce the amount of soil and nutrients running off into watercourses and reservoirs. Cleaner water lowers reservoir treatment costs, and is healthier for wildlife.

The auction covers the length and breadth of Somerset, with one limitation. As the main purpose of NFM activities in Somerset is to slow the flow of water down through the higher parts of river catchments, the online auction system at somerset.naturebid.org.uk will not allow farmers to place bids for most of the low-lying land in Internal Drainage Board areas. The only exception this year—because of Bristol Water’s involvement—is the chunk of the Somerset Levels near Westbury-subMendip. The auction will run online from Monday 1 March to Monday 15 March at somerset.naturebid.org.uk.
