So far, two candidates have declared their intention to be the 36th president of the association and replace current president Sean Finan.
Who is running?
Odile Evans, a UCD graduate and journalist, declared her intention to run in January.
From a dairy farm in Co Wexford, Odile is the current Leinster vice-president of Macra.
Also hoping to be the next Macra president is Cork man James Healy, who also declared in January.
Healy is currently an associate member of Macra’s national council and was previously the association’s Munster vice-president.
James comes from a small holding, but his uncle is a dairy farmer and he works full-time as a production supervisor with an electronics company.
All meetings will commence at 8pm.
