The Irish Farmer's Association's AGM takes place this afternoon.
The up-coming EU Parliament vote on Mercosur will top the agenda when the IFA's 71st AGM gets underway today at Bluebell in Dublin.
Thousands of farmers converged on Athlone in County Westmeath at the weekend to protest over the deal, and what it means for farmers and public health.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon will be in attendance today - with the meeting opening with an address from IFA President, and Laois man, Francie Gorman.
He says it's a crucial time for farmers around the country:
