It will help those who are best at form filling I would think. An industry to lighten the wallets of those in need by doing the paperwork for them will quickly emerge I would think.

Not clear what part of a farmers business would be affected by advice to the public not to frequent certain businesses, pubs and restaurants mainly. How has your business profitability been hit by Corvid19 in the short term?

More than likely the loans will go to large businesses that don't need them and the businesses that need them wont see anything.
Never a good idea to do it thru the banks, they were given billions to help small/ medium businesses thru the aftermath of 2008 and look what happened, most of it either went to very large businesses and the rest was used by the banks to play the stockmarket/ shore up their balance sheets and when they were pulled up 2 or so years later why the money didn't go to the businesses it was intended for they said it was because there was no demand for the money from them even thou the internet/media were awash of story's from businesses that had applied for the cash but were turned down by the banks.
Quickest/ easiest/ fairest way to get funds into farming businesses would be to use the BPS bank system as they have all the bank details already logged on there.
If you're after under £5 million you go via your bank

The UK has offered businesses £330 billion worth of loans to stop them from going bankrupt during the coronavirus outbreak
The UK government says it will do "whatever it takes" to get businesses through the crisis.

This is a total different kettle of fish.
Within days thousands of farming businesses may be unable to sell their livestock for several months, if that happens it will have massive implications for cashflow and welfare of the stock on these farms.
Unlike a arable farm a livestock farm cannot just shut the door and do nothing for a few months.
No one could have foreseen the impending situation for livestock farms and if you did then I suggest you go and buy some lottery tickets whilst you still are allowed out of your house!

Farm with chipping potatoes in store with virtually no market left?
I often wonder if @Greythundercloudys and bossfarmer have ever been seen in the same place at the same time
Stick em on Ebay with instructions to convert, they will still want their chips.

Virus aid is just more guff
Slash vat, slash fuel duty,
Ban evictions
That would help everybody (except landlords)

They ( the Gov ) have said today that mortgage repayments can be delayed 3 months for house holders.
Nothing for people that rent their houses thou!

Pretty much all my sales are into those kind of places. This week I had one tiny order that was so small it would lose me money by delivering it. They've since cancelled.
So I have no sales and no real prospect of any either.
I am very fortunate as I have other money so will be fine, I doubt my customers will be though.

Perhaps they're always seen in the same place, together...I often wonder if @Greythundercloudys and bossfarmer have ever been seen in the same place at the same time
