The IFA held a protest outside of Dunnes Stores in Monaghan town today as part of its ongoing campaign against the prices paid to producers for their product.
It follows similar action in Cavan town, and a 24 hour protest outside Lidl stores in the region.
The German retailer later met with the group on the back of the protest, and discussed the price of poultry products.
Our reporter, Diarmuid Pepper, was at the protest this morning and he began by speaking to former IFA Poultry Chair and Carrickmacross farmer Andy Boylan.
Diarmuid also spoke to IFA regional chairman for Ulster-North Leinster, Frank Brady, and to local poultry farmer, Robert McBride.
Andy began by explaining the reasons behind targeting Dunnes Stores for today's protest (Click on the above image to hear this interview):
Our reporter also spoke to Patrick McCormick, who is the Chair of the Monaghan IFA.
He said farmers were protesting out of "desperation and necessity":
A number of lorry deliveries were disrupted due to the protest, and a number of customers were also turned away from the Dunnes Stores car park by the protestors.
In a statement sent to Northern Sound, a listener, who is a member of the IFA, says he will be leaving the organisation after an incident at the protest.
He claimed that his wife was "intimidated" when trying to access the Dunnes Stores Car Park.
This allegation was made after our reporter spoke to Frank Brady about the disruption caused to lorries and customers.
Frank Brady said Dunnes Stores weren't happy about the protest but added it was about "putting Dunnes Stores out of business for one day".
In this clip, recorded before the statement alleging intimidation, Mr Brady also acknowledged that customers would be "asked not to enter Dunnes Stores" but said "no customer will be stopped from going in":
