Farmers on the Somerset Levels, whose land flooded in January, say they do not agree with how a £600,000 help-fund is being spent.
The money is being used to pay for four farm liaison officers who will offer one-to-one advice.
Farmers say any funds given to the area should be spent on dredging and clearing the rivers.
But the remit of the fund is specific and work on dredging rivers does not qualify, Natural England said.
The money has come from the EU and other sources, including Natural England, the Somerset Wildlife Trust and the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group SW, following a bid put in by Somerset County Council.
Widespread flooding left businesses waterlogged three times last year and has left farmland under water for months.
