Grassmen

Grassmen - 'fulla the pipe' is like no other production. Using unique camera angles and real time action you will experience the highlights of 2010's first cut silage season. You will be taken on a journey through some of Northern Ireland’s most spectacular countryside by three of the province's largest contracting fleets.

On an island situated east of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Northern Province where wet weather grows the greenest grass on the planet, a dedicated group of men battle with the sodden ground, steep hills, narrow roads and tight yards to harvest thousands of acres of lush green silage. These are Northern Ireland's GRASSMEN.

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. Runtime: 2h 5min Featuring: Troy Contracting, Read Agri Contracts and McKelvey Harvesting
