Social media and agri influencers are becoming increasingly more important in telling agriculture’s story and showcasing farming to younger generations.
Below, we have hand-picked five of the funniest, educational and best accounts we think farmers should be following heading into 2026.
Take a look and see if there's anyone you need to give a follow to.
The Kerry Cowboy
Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin (The Kerry Cowboy).
If you want to brush up on your “cúpla focal as Gaeilge”, then The Kerry Cowboy (Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin) is the account for you.
Hailing from the Kingdom, Co Kerry, The Kerry Cowboy, aka Séaghan and his famous dog Brandy, share the very best of farming culture.
From short-form videos with a sprinkle of Gaeilge to snapshots of everyday life on the farm, their content offers an authentic and heartwarming look at rural life.

Sophie Bell
Sophie Bell is an Farming Influencer from Co Cavan.
Growing up on a farm in Co Cavan, Sophie often offers a genuine, behind-the-scenes look at how a modern Irish farm really operates on a day-to-day basis.
She sends regular videos from the farm where she contract-rears calves for a local dairy farmer.
She has also been a strong voice in recent years for younger farmers and the challenges they face in the agricultural industry.

Finn Walsh

“I digress” has firmly entered the vocabulary of many young farmers over the past year, thanks partly to Finn Walsh’s hugely popular comedy videos.
A dairy farmer from Patrickswell, Co Limerick, Finn has amassed over 230,000 followers across social media through his relatable and often hilarious posts about the daily realities and hardships of farming.

The Abby Cowgirl

“Well, how are things?”
If you recognise that catchphrase, you’re probably already following The Abby Cowgirl (aka Katie Larkin).
Katie first grew her audience by sharing life on her family farm in Co Galway, including regular glimpses of her prizewinning pedigree Simmental cattle.
She’s proving to be an especially interesting follow heading into 2026 as she documents her new journey training to become a vet in Warsaw.
