The federal government will spend another $100 million on farmers and some drought-stricken communities.

Most of the money will be spent giving the Farm Household Allowance and application process a makeover.

The assets test will be simplified, agistment will be recognised as primary production income, and the application process will be redesigned.

Couples will be able to apply for the payment using one application form.

Recipients will also be able to receive the payment - which is the same as the Newstart allocation, for a maximum of four years within a 10 year time frame.

Eligible farming households will receive up to $3000 through the Drought Community Support Initiative, which has received a $33.42 million boost.

Thirteen Local Government Areas will receive up to $1 million each to spend on infrastructure and drought relief through an extension of the Drought Community Program.

Mr Morrison said the government's "most urgent priority" was to support drought-affected communities.

But he has retained many critics after his cash splash announcement in America.

Many farmers said that money should also have been incorporated into the drought pledge.

Others said the assistance should have been more widespread and the situation was much becoming so critical it needed a lot more money thrown at it.

Some were skeptical the changes to the Farm Household Allowance would actually make a difference.

"Supporting drought affected communities remains our Government's most urgent priority," Mr Morrison said.

"I know that things are only getting harder for many farmers and rural communities, and that's why we are taking further action and providing even more support.

"We've been in constant contact with farmers and businesses, and we're using their feedback to keep improving our response.

"As I've said before, this isn't set and forget. We need to keep listening and keep taking action."
