Recent statistics show the rise of support for Fine Gael
A new poll out this morning shows farmers are backing Barry Cowen and Nina Carberry in the Midlands North West European Election race.
Meanwhile Sinn Fein's vote has collapsed among the group.
The Irish Farmers' Journal says support for Sinn Fein continues to plummet, while support is on the rise for fledgling party 'Independent Ireland' and the country's independent candidates.
Irish Famers' Journal Political Correspondent, Pat O'Toole, says Fine Gael tops their poll - Independent Ireland is the 3rd most popular party among farmers - and Nina Carberry and Barry Cowan are 'neck and neck' for Europe.
