The farming lobby still has access to the top brass - but does it pack any real political punch?
Briefly

The declining number of farmers is resulting in fragmentation within farming groups, leading to decreased political influence. This separation hinders their ability to effectively advocate for their interests.
Experts argue that without addressing the environmental concerns and conflicts of interest, farming organizations will continue to struggle in maintaining a strong presence in political discussions.
While some see a bleak future for farm representation, others advocate for a united front among farmers which could revitalize their influence in both Leinster House and Brussels.
The call for a long-term vision suggests that strategic planning and collaboration among farming leaders might restore their power and political standing.
