THE YEAR GRASSMEN CAME TO LIFE What a year it has been at GRASSMEN HQ. In this DVD, we take you back to where it all began for us, back to our roots, where we visit E. Gamble and Sons, as seen in our first ever DVD ‘It’s in the Blood’. While catching up with Eddie, he and Donkey reminisce about the good old days. This leads us to Ryan Doherty, who worked alongside Donkey for Eddie over 10 years ago. Since then Doherty Farm Services has been founded, and we went to see how Ryan is getting on with the newest additions to his fleet. Of course, the story wouldn’t be complete without our raffle tractor, the 110-90… you all know the story by now, so this DVD shows the full journey of the Fiat, from installing the turbo and hitch all the way to her being put to work. Through this journey, we were lucky to build some great relationships, one being Michael Hoey of Country Crest. A true legend and gentleman… he even persuaded GRASSMEN to look outside of grass! We catch up with him and talk tackle. What’s next? How could we better this?

The third installment in the Grassmen documentary series, 'Green Fever' gives a comparison of silage making in counties Cork, Fermanagh and Down in the difficult 2011 season.  Featuring Troy Contracting, Read Agri Contracts and McKelvey Harvesting, a diverse range of kit can be seen in action across the unique challenges of each location.

The first disc in a four part series, this DVD is an introduction to the family run business Wilson Farming and the work they do.  Boss man Harry Wilson is backed by son Ian at the Preston headquarters, where the company maintain the largest fleet of self-propelled forage harvesters in the Northern Hemisphere.  Ian directs the agricultural contracting in Lancashire, while his father Harry focuses on hiring the choppers countrywide, in this very unique business.  Meanwhile son Keith runs the family farm in Shropshire, where they have committed their 1000 hectares of land to growing miscanthus.  With a huge variety of kit and silage action, this first DVD begins a year with the Wilsno Farming team in March, at the peak of the energy crop harvest.
