Up to 60 people attended a meeting held by the Independent Farmers of Ireland last night in Ballacolla in Laois.
Three people were selected to negotiate on behalf of farmers protesting outside meat processing plants in a row over prices.
Their aims are to improve rural Ireland and to get meat processing plants to pay properly for their beef.
This local farmer says it would be great if the Agriculture Minister got on board:
