GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to RU-vid. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

I’d happily take a mountain top farm in Austria. I remember the local farmer coming to the field behind my (Austrian) grandparents on an old steyr 2 cylinder to collect the hay.

@GamingHuman-si9fo 7 месяцев назад

Well as you sayd some guys would like to go overseas and farm big, but it would also be nice to get bigger here in the swiss alps, but the problem is we as mid siced farmers (16 Swiss fleckvieh milk cows/20 hectares) can not grow bigger, because farmland is rare, or you'd have to go non reasonable distaces for it. Also celing mounted hay cranes are very comon in the alps, because you get a way better quality hay when you bring it in lose and dry it a bit. We also have some harvestore like silos we also fill wit that crane.

Isn't it a sight that if anyone built a milking parlour like that here in Ireland they'd be laughed at, brilliant parlour in a small space

@hughmarcus1 7 месяцев назад

Big difference is what they get paid for their milk.

@vnthomas16 7 месяцев назад

I love that parlor! I milk in a similar (mine’s two-stalls) side-opener parlor for my small herd of Jerseys. I’m in the Rocky Mountains of NE Washington State USA. We turn a lot of our milk into cheese here on the farm.

@hughmarcus1 7 месяцев назад

@@vnthomas16 Brilliant. Jerseys are lovely cattle. Best wishes with your farm venture. 👍

if you do what you love,money does not matter. Everybodies down fall is they follow the dollar, world wide.

@conjoe176 7 месяцев назад

That would be my heaven, a herd of 30 or so red cows in those mountains and making a living, whatever you'd make it's plenty if you got to live there. The buildings, the animals, the view...amazing life👌 I'm jealous😅

@Grassmen 7 месяцев назад

You and me both!

@hughmarcus1 7 месяцев назад

Reality is, the farmer, the animal & the land are under much less pressure. It used to be like that in Ireland. I spent my teens in the 1970s milking 20 British Friesians in a byre. My dad milked in the morning & went off to work & I did the evening milking after I came home from school. A very different world to now. 😬

@7pdude 7 месяцев назад

you should visit Berghof Babel in Wald, Germany. besides their dairy they run their own hotel and restaurant, cheesery, brewery and lots more. they use quite interesting methods and machinery to get the best milk possible.

@Johnryan78045 7 месяцев назад

That crane grab on the roof is insane, never seen anything like that before, wasn’t expecting that

@bekabeka71 7 месяцев назад

Life is more quieter and peaceful over there, to me it seems like farmers are always rushing to get things done in Ireland and uk. The attitude is like they’re always under pressure. Where as any other country, farmers are connected more, slower and relaxing life, and better climate

@mick6ful 7 месяцев назад

Super video. Lovely to see the smaller operations too, Thank you

@Grassmen 7 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@350mack 7 месяцев назад

Very beautiful 😊

@tjwiersma4406 7 месяцев назад

I don’t want to ask a dumb question, but do they have a problem with the bales rolling down the mountains? Also, with round bales the cows don’t get a square meal.😂😂 Sorry, that’s an old dairy kid joke.

@jamescarson4745 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely brilliant Gareth, such a lovely place

@stephenkelly2067 7 месяцев назад

Big move towards regenerative farming when mature grass are also high in sugars and me

Which was cooler to see, the panoramic views or the ceiling mounted crane

@Grassmen 7 месяцев назад

The crane I think but sush. 😆

well its sustainable farming with the wider considerations of a stable interactive economy and community needs - uk its all about subsidies which do not take into account wider economic needs of the rural economy - agri leaders dont seem able to take a view outside of agri and its immidiate supply chain - conservation of landscape eco systems paymnets linked to national and sub regional rural economic regeneration of the rural areas is a holistic payment approach outside of direct subsidies to agri create greater rural oportunity and resilience - same old way of cheques to produce does not meet the electorate and taxpayers requirements
