A majority of farming operations in Ventura County are smaller growers that might not have crop insurance or are underinsured because fire coverage is not available for all farms.

They said that this will likely require a combination of new technologies and changes to farming practices.

Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins said Labour had delivered a "budget of broken promises" that was "killing British farming".

His farming career began in the 1970s when he inherited a rubber plantation in the the southern Indian state of Kerala , which he managed alongside his career as a doctor.

But this has done little to allay fears within the farming community, while there is still confusion over how many might be affected.
