The majority of farming families in Ireland don't have plans over who will take over the family business.
A new survey conducted by Irish Country Living and IFAC shows that 70% of farming families lack a formal written succession plan.
The study also revealed that 61% of men farm in their own right, compared with 28% of women, while half of the respondents believe there is still reluctance to hand over farms to daughters or female relatives.
Rural Affairs reporter for Irish Country Living, Jacqueline Hogge says women are overlooked too often:
