How This Irish Man Started His Own Agri Contracting Business In New Zealand! ☘ Nagle Contracting ☘

''It was only meant to be 6 months!'' Meet Pa Nagle, the Co. Clare native with his own contracting business in New Zealand! Cian spent a few weeks filming the Nagle team as their season started to quieten down around January & February. Nagle Contracting specializes in grass chopping & large square baling in the mid Canterbury region.

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 KZbin. 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!

Where has Gary disappeared to? Was there a fallout in the grassmen camp

[@Grassmen]

No no, unfortunately we had no choice but to let him go

[@graceandmason3501]

our farm is in this vid eo

[@Grassmen]

Oh cool

[@Againstdhawa]

200 million irish ancestry scattered all over the world

[@tobybrown1179]

So how did he start up being a foreigner in a strange land, buy out an established business and expand? Not as if no one was doing it before him

[@Grassmen]

As far as we are aware he started from scratch!

[@DaveG7920]

Clamp silage is a fairly recent thing in Canterbury, there's been big growth because the milk price has been good for a few years now. If it goes down much of the work will disappear.

[@Tomherbs]

Does anyone know if Gary is still with Grassmen or not?

[@Grassmen]

No he's been gone since last August

[@kevinevans9792]

He not coming back then
