    Could never stand donkey and never got his appeal. Very childish to be bad mouthing another lad like that. As someone above said just say he left and good luck to him and move on

    What intrigues me about Grassmen is what’s their main business now? It started out as DVD which correct me if I’m wrong but they don’t do anymore? It doesn’t get enough YouTube views to generate a massive income I’d have thought - so is the merchandise the actual main revenue stream now?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭French Toast


    Merch would surely make up a big part of their income now.

    Do they do an online streaming service? A subscription like Farmflix?

    Not easy keep it fresh.

    Seems to funded by merchandise, I’d say farmflix got the jump on the subscription software and hoovered up a lot of their viewers. There must be a serious markup with having to pay so many “senior leadership” employees!


    Can’t get my head around his words on buying the new John Deere 7r 350. Is he really going to park a €300k plus tractor up in a shed and take to shows and the odd video shoot? That’s a lot of T-shirts to sell.

    To be honest I really enjoy FarmFlix, find the videos are very well shot and put together, and give a good insight into wherever they are - be it livestock or machinery. A long way ahead of grassmen on that front.


    I presume grassmen generate some revenue from hiring the machines out for demonstrations but can’t imagine that would justify having them all in the yard anyway.

    Cannot stand that “sir” ****.

    they make good productions but it’s all a bit repetitive. I had a subscription for past two years but won’t bother renew this year.

    All kids id say looking at big shiney fancy tractors, I must say I far rather looking at videos that are more closely relation to a typical farming operation.

    Would love to see more lads try out slurry additives, foliar fertilisers etc and give their honest opinion.

    Was great to see the likes of farmer phil very happy with the BE Evergreen foliar fert he used last year. Its cheapish at 100 a 20l drum so might chance it on a field this year.

    All kids id say looking at big shiney fancy tractors,

    I'd wage a bet the majority of YouTube channel subscribers is predominantly kids looking at big tractors.

    I haven't looked much at the Analytics side of YouTube, but I did notice last week that the two most popular search terms on my channel were "tractor" and "tractors"

    Yes they seem to have gone to ground altogether, no update from the instagram account also in a good while.

    A siamsa day out to say my name? I'd watch that twice.


    Or a day with Danzy to show what a rooter is.

    I’ve never watched a FarmFlix video but sometimes their ads come up while watching other videos and the guys accent in the ad would put me off watching any of their videos.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,218 ✭✭✭ginger22


    The thing with the Sobac stuff is that it supplies the P and K and lime. It is hard to know in one year if it is doing the job. I know a man that is using it for many years a good operator hasnt used any P, K, or lime since, all going great, in fact he says his soil has really opened up like a sponge to walk it. And there is plant hire Company who do a lot of sports pitched, they always treat them with the "bacteriosol" claim it does a great job to condition the soil.

    I signed up for the free trial for farm flix. I really enjoyed it. I've zero interest in tractors but watched alot of the south Dakota stuff.

    Fertilizer reps sit on the board of Teagasc. They don't want to hear of an alternative to the bag. It's just one other conflict of interest from the state advisory body.

    The only people you hear talking in the FarmFlix videos are the lads they're interviewing. You don't hear the questions so no annoying accents to listen to if that's what you're worried about. Fantastic quality videos but sometimes I find it a bit repetitive. Only so many silage contractor interviews that I can tolerate. Third year paying the sub and only still pay it because its €60 for auto renewal and I think a new sub us up around €100. Enjoy the majority of videos all the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,538 ✭✭✭JustJoe7240


    Depends on the video, There’s interviewing in most of the machinery ones, Stock ones have the farmers doing all the talking. To be fair some of them aren’t that bad, Its the West of Ireland lad that does all the laughing I can’t hack at all.

    Farmer Phil has a good video up on his plans for the farm yard etc fair play to him , he said he is making nice money at the mo at the you tube

    Thanks a million for sharing your experience.

    I’m in a bit of a quandary as the site for the slatted tank is also where I was thinking might suit the milking parlour. Whatever I do now will have a knock-on effect for years to come.

    Having said that, the one thing I’m fairly sure of now after this morning’s video is that I won’t be digging up the concrete in the new shed. A straw blower and a bucket on the loader to clean it out would be relatively small investments and would save a lot of work

    Watched it earlier and basically going to do nothing, every thing 5 to 10 years down the road and father Phil has the say and they in a partnership. The meal house would have to be a priority for quality assurance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 971 ✭✭✭leoch


    He be better building a new shed from scratch hes just waffling on about nothing really



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    Phil is a tougher man than I am anyway.

    It's a lot of hardship to work on like that for another 5-10 year's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭3 the square


    i like phil he is about the pick of you tube for me how much money would you make out of it with his kind of numbers ??

    That old shed in the middle of the yard needs to be flattened, absolutely useless imo
