The final presentation will be given by Kevin McManamon, Dublin footballer and sports psychology consultant, and he will outline how farmers can protect their mental health.
Tough year
Paul Belton said: "Based on feedback from farmers in the local area, this was the type of the event that was asked for. Mental health is a huge issue in rural Ireland and 2018 has been a very tough year on farmers.
''Managing your head can be a tough task and hopefully we will provide farmers with a few tips tonight on how they can overcome adversity and open up to talk to people."
