The Cabinet Secretary also announced the Welsh Government would be making a donation of £500,000 to farming charities to help provide short\-term support to those families in Wales who are least able to meet living costs.    
  
Lesley Griffiths said:

 
> “In response to the period of exceptionally hot and dry weather earlier this summer, I brought together a range of stakeholders at the Royal Welsh Agriculture Show to discuss the action Government and the industry might take collectively to mitigate the issues farmers are facing.
> 
>  Whilst the weather and immediate forage situation has improved, I remain concerned about the medium and longer term cost and fodder availability implications for farm businesses. In recognition of the current exceptional circumstances, I have taken the decision to make available a loan facility to farm businesses later this year.
> 
>  European regulations set the payment window for BPS from 1 December to 30 June, and based on Wales’ excellent payment performance, I expect approximately 90% of farm businesses in Wales to receive their BPS payments on day one. To ensure parity between claimants, I will also introduce a loan facility for the remaining approximate 10% of farm businesses where the BPS claims are yet to be validated and therefore cannot be paid under European regulations.”

 The Cabinet Secretary added:

 
> “I am conscious the Farming Unions have been calling for us to bring forward the BPS 2018 payments. I have decided this would not be particularly helpful as making advance payments in October will not resolve the immediate or longer term implications of the exceptional weather conditions and it would create an unfortunate disparity between businesses in terms of some receiving BPS payments while others would not.
> 
>  The Farming Unions themselves recognise this position would be unfair and create further problems. Therefore, the introduction of a loan scheme is a better and fairer solution to the difficult circumstances affecting farm businesses this year.
> 
>  In the short term, I am acutely aware of the human impact on farming families. I have therefore asked my officials to work closely with the agricultural charities, to decide how best we can support their work. In order to help address immediate financial difficulties, we will be making a donation of £500,000 to help provide short\-term support to those families in Wales who are least able to meet living costs.
> 
>  Making these decisions now will provide farm businesses with assurance and the knowledge they need to help manage their immediate cash flow and plan their finances in the longer term, especially through the forthcoming winter.”

Hefyd, cyhoeddodd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud rhodd o £500,000 i dair elusen ffermio er mwyn helpu i ddarparu cymorth tymor byr i deuluoedd hynny yng Nghymru sydd leiaf abl i gwrdd â chostau byw.  
  
Dywedodd Lesley Griffiths:

 
> “Fel ymateb i'r tywydd twym a sych a gawsom yn gynharach yr haf hwn, cynullais nifer o randdeiliaid yn y Sioe Frenhinol i drafod yr hyn y dylai'r Llywodraeth a'r diwydiant ei wneud gyda'i gilydd i leddfu'r problemau sy'n wynebu ffermwyr o'i herwydd.
> 
>  Er bod y tywydd a'r sefyllfa o ran porthiant anifeiliaid wedi gwella, rwy'n dal yn bryderus ynghylch y goblygiadau o ran costau a faint o borthiant sydd ar gael i fusnesau fferm yn y tymor canolig a hir. Fel cydnabyddiaeth o'r amgylchiadau eithriadol hyn, rwyf wedi penderfynu creu cynllun benthyca i ffermwyr.
> 
>  Yn unol â rheoliadau Ewrop, cyfnod talu'r BPS fydd 1 Rhagfyr i 30 Mehefin, ac o ddilyn patrwm ardderchog y gorffennol yma yng Nghymru, rwy'n disgwyl y bydd 90% o fusnesau fferm Cymru yn cael eu taliadau BPS ar ddiwrnod un. Er mwyn sicrhau bod pob hawlydd yn cael yr un tegwch, rwyf am gynnig benthyciad i'r 10% o fusnesau fferm nad yw eu hawliadau BPS wedi cael eu dilysu eto ac felly na fydd modd eu talu o dan reoliadau Ewrop.”

 Ychwanegodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:

 
> “Rwy'n sylweddoli bod Undebau'r Ffermwyr wedi bod yn galw arnon ni i dalu taliadau BPS 2018 yn gynt. Yn fy marn i, ni fyddai hynny'n arbennig o ddefnyddiol gan na fydd talu rhagdaliadau ym mis Hydref yn lleddfu effeithiau tymor byr na hir y tywydd eithriadol, a byddai'n creu anghydraddoldeb rhwng busnesau gan y byddai rhai'n derbyn taliad BPS ac eraill ddim.
> 
>  Mae Undebau'r Ffermwyr eu hunain yn cydnabod y byddai'n creu sefyllfa annheg a mwy o broblemau. Felly byddai cynnig benthyciad yn ateb tecach a gwell i'r amgylchiadau anodd sy'n wynebu busnesau fferm eleni.
> 
>  Yn y tymor byr, rwy'n ymwybodol iawn o'r effeithiau ar deuluoedd fferm. Rwyf felly wedi gofyn i'm swyddogion weithio'n glos ag elusennau amaethyddol i benderfynu sut y gallent eu cefnogi orau. Er mwyn helpu i drechu'r anawsterau ariannol sy'n eu hwynebu nawr, byddwn yn cyfrannu £500,000 i roi help tymor byr i deuluoedd yng Nghymru sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd dygymod â chostau byw.
> 
>  Trwy wneud y penderfyniadau hyn nawr, rhoddir y sicrwydd a'r wybodaeth sydd eu hangen arnyn nhw i allu rheoli'u llif arian a chynllunio'u cyllid yn y tymor hwy, yn enwedig trwy'r gaeaf nesaf.”
