In this video Sam Monk shows us around his contracting yard & dairy farm. The 29 year old also tells us how he became Australia's biggest silage contractor!
i recall doing 36 hours straight working for sam. hard work. good guy. props from the guy who had the small van. you will remember lol
Sam monk is a cool dude,fair play to him that’s some rise in gear over short period of time,you can have all the money in the world but it takes a smart man to keep a business like that rockin and it’s a serious business, as he said hard work n good staff💪Ile be on next season to drive the chopper have the grease gun ready 🤠🇮🇪🇦🇺
You're only coming out for the 79 series landcruisers 🥸😂
Looking forward to the chopper derby 'GWAAAAAAAANN YA BASTARD!!'
@@Grassmen ahahaha
This man knows well about the silage carting in his hiace
Here in the US, choppers alone would be about $10 million. And then there's the rest of the fleet. Kudos to the man!
Amazing operation, credit to the young fella who runs it! He must have compromising photos of his bank manager though… 😂
Unbelievable operation, and a 1000 cows thrown in for good measure!! Some business man. Cracking video Cian
The Opportunities available to lads out there is amazing
More videos of Sam and his crew please…this was awesome to see
I was expecting Sam to be A guy in his 70's with a long Career behind him ... It's amazing to see machine With working to their Potential........
It's great to see!
Well done Team. Thanks for sharing.
That was very good!! Some machinery, be great to see a series of episodes throughout the year….really good video😊
Great video Cian. Your natural charisma came through in this one.
Lol 😂
Worked along side this bloke years ago, bloody hard worker looks like it’s paying off now mate. On ya
Definitely a hard worker! 👌
I was there for 1 Year it was a nice time after Beefwood Farms.
The questions in the office were great man. That visa information is really handy for the young ladies and lads. Also important to stay out of trouble with that stuff so they don’t mess up their opportunities.👍
Great video you have no problem getting stuff next year
Brilliant video Cian . Some empire there 😎🇦🇺
Wow that’s some set and Sam monk seems a top bloke to work for 👌🏼👍🏼

Good to see his Strip Till on your video, I was one of the guys who helped build it. Was a fun job putting it together. Great operation and video.
Its a fair piece of kit! Even behind the 1050!
Unreal stuff mate👍🏽
for so young he is doing very well.
The evenflow boys should bring over a few cases of carlsberg and show ye how it’s done
That is some set up unreal 👌
Allways awsome watching these grassmen vids and monk and sons looks like heavin to me😂
Heaven for any Agri head 😎
That was awesome!
Nice man when I’m 18 I’m going to come straight here
Yes you should
Well done Grassmen. This is great content 👍👍👍.
Thanks 😄
I reckon Monk and sons would make an awesome reality TV show
I'd say so 🤣
very impressive!
great to see aussie farmers rockin it
Klaus Schwabb is watching you. Nice farm well done
These blockes are a happy bunch..
Happy lads indeed!
Enjoyed the video , a very interesting look at a really impressive business .
Glad you enjoyed it!!

You're welcome!
.Maybe the Monk company need to come Canada to look for some staff. Great video love it
I’d sign on in a heartbeat!
The views on this video. 👀👀 Well done
Thank you!
Very fascinating
Amazing channel great videos
Thanks so much!
Great business led well.
You can’t beat a decent Irish man salt of the earth! 👍
Great video
Thanks!
Great video cian, some setup your crystal would fit in well there 😉😁
Absolutely
By eck what a farm..
29yo and already have big business amazing
It's some achievement!!
I have trouble getting parts for a kubota and a Takeuchi. Can't imagine what that operation contends with. Hard to fathom
CIAN your the main man in GRASSMEN 👍
I would love to take a trip and see how different the world farms vs the way we do
This is one of the main reasons we encourage young ones to do this.
Can you let us know who he banks with? Cause I want to switch to that bank! The line of credit has to be extraordinary! 😲
That’s some setup.
Sam needs his own channel. Millennial Farmer Aussie Edition!!!
Millennial Farmer is a Daddy's boy, who will inherent the farm - with all new gear/ Sam has used his dads assets, 1 tractor & leveraged and hard worked to gain loans , he is on the tread mill - of big business - more loans, more debt, and to cover his future is investing in land.
@@mtl-ss1538 ok Karen
Good call
@@mtl-ss1538 what’s the problem with inheriting?
Very good video, great insight to an operation like this!!. There seems to be a fair few Irish lads there? Some operation to be fair...
It's some operation all right!!
Große firma .Viele deutsche landtechnik da .Gut!
are those kuhn rakes from brought from Canada? Cervus is here in Alberta
Cool video the presenter has one heck of an Aussie accent lol ;-) Top of the morning to you sir
Some boyo
That's an unreal amount of machinery, top class video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice
Very interesting operation, I was surprised with pivots been built as around that area n north east Victoria there’s plenty of flood irrigation. Q. How do they go with logistics like parts as there not a lot Claas n Fendt dealerships to compare JD n CNH?
This is South East Victoria so no flood irrigation here, most parts are available in Melbourne which is only 2 hours away
Theres a claas dealer in colac, which isnt too far from cobrico
Absolutely fantastic video, and good to put a face to the name 👍 do you need a valeting team 👍
You would be busy haha
I know I'm sure its some job keeping all the machines clean too
Lots of Paddy’s on that farm!
Good maintenance, saves the embarrassment to the customer there’s a good business model
The thing that struck me the most was the speed at which the equipment operates.......14-15mph......Things just whiz by!! I guess speed and productivity go hand-in-hand!
It's fast paced out there for sure.
Get Tom Fleming and the 8120 asap. Best quality. And mozz in da windrower
A very go video
Thank you
Great video some operation! Many acres do they cover in the year…?
Not sure but its all charged by the ton of dry matter over here not by acres or even hectares
@@Grassmen that makes more sense than by the acre,
hope you are running John Deere headers. nice 45 foot front. S series. must be green. when will you get into cotton sam ? if you want a cotton picker which are pretty rare operators hit me up. since i worked for you i done 7 years operating headers and cotton pickers up at cubbie station. sam was part of my journey.
In comparison, the rest of us are gardeners 😊😊
U said it. Hahahaha
Savage operation
How can I apply as an operator there ..I love farming and big Machines
I can tell by your accent that you are a local lad😂😁😂
The money 😮 For All them 🚜
Interesting operation. Can you give the region?
Based in South West Victoria
I would be very interesting to know what sams fuel usage is and yearly cost also are all the machines on hp, also has he had to put his rates up due to the rise in direct costs like fuel, plastic, labour.
Donkey is planning to head out soon and hopefully Sam will enlighten us a bit more into the business.
Wow, so this is what real life farming simulator 22 looks like.
Pretty much
Good job Please Link to apply for job 2024 season, thanks
Amazing set up and Sam must have some headaches
That's what managers are for 😌
AMD the kenworths are Aussie built
baler to loader wagon cool
What did he think about mchale fusion?
Not sure to be honest. We will find out
Brilliant video chief but are you ever going finish the old zetor
Maybe next winter 😂
@@Grassmen need’s putting through grassmens workshop make awesome feature.
Great video. Is finding operators in Australia that big of an issue? Looks like Ireland provides a large workforce.
I assume it suits Irish lads well. Grass in the summer here and then Grass in our winter out there. Pkus it's a great experience.
There definitely mustn't be as many contractors as we have 🙈
Plenty of Aussies wanting this work, its not available to them, he only hires close friends and family, and he hires irish backpackers because he can circumvent australian working condition laws and pay conditions..
@@4kays160 In what way? It’s not like a backpacker would have to do this for less than $22/h
The Irish took the piss on most of the construction jobs I saw them on. They’re here for a holiday
those two Scottish guys instantly clicked
Irish bro
These blokes go past us a few times a yr makes our little tractors look like toys in the sand pit!
Some tractors
Even KZhead can't handle the Australian accent🤣
Some set up, a lad with a 20 diesel and a finger bar wouldn't be much use there!
Nope that's for sureb
Unreal plant 👌
Sure is 😎
How many acres are they covering in a seaon?
Donkeys heading over to see Sam soon. This is a guess but we are guessing between corn and Grass well over 100k acres.
@@Grassmen that's pretty cool. Seems like a heck of an operation.
Sam Monk use to call me "donkey" hahaha. i hope he reads this so he knows whos speaking to him.
How do I get my hands on a monk and sons hat
We want one as well
They reckon Cian was doing a bit of operatin there himself......in the office😂
Couldnt watch him hi
How come all the Irish work there, just interested
The Irish seem to love the experience. There is also workers from other countries out there
If Carlsberg did contracting !!!
Hello
Not to many directors like to get dirty.
Sir I am a shepherd from Bangladesh can I come to travel in this company if I want
Yeah you can certainly apply
Sir are you an Australian KZheadr please let me know
👍🏼👌🏼
Y’all Aussies need to get some John Deere’s with Grouser blades
