Luxembourg’s agriculture ministry has received 153 applications for financial aid from farmers in the wake of the flooding that struck the grand duchy on 14–15 July, representing a total of €1,650,000 in damage.

The claims consisted of 17 damaged buildings, 44 cases of damaged agricultural equipment, 629 cases of damaged animal feed and 134 cases of damaged crops, the agriculture ministry on Friday. The lost crops included 723 hectares of prairie and pastureland, 77 hectares of maize, 16 hectares of grains, 2.5 hectares of vegetables and 2 hectares of vines.
