What on earth has this got do do with NSU you might ask. Well, I got curious myself some years ago when I read in the production figures from NSU that there was an entry called "Agria". From 1957- 1964 there is a total of about 43.000 units listed under "Agria". 
I hadn´t the got faintest idea what it was until the first time I saw an Agria in real life in Möhnsen in 1999 at the 19th NSU Treffen. The only thing I know about that particular machine is that it is owned by a Danish couple. Then I stumbeled over one myself last year and i just had to dig deeper into it.
With kind help from the ever "2-wheel NSU knowledgeable" Andy Jankowitsch I have managed to learn a bit more about where they came from. As mentioned before NSU supplied the Quickly- engines as power supply to the Cultivators. Appearantly NSU also supplied  the fuel tanks, which also came from the Quickly. Agria used the fan cooled type of Quickly engines and some hade 3- speed gearboxes and 2,5hp. When Andy J recently visited Agria Werke when his father needed parts for his old cultivator they were highly surprised to see that, even though the NSU engines by long are replaced, Agria still uses fuel tanks that bears very strong resemblance to the old Quickly tanks.

Andreas Jankowitsch sent me this funny newspaper clip from 2000. Here is a whole new idea of a "Treffen".

And here is a link to a Lutz Seyfarth´s excellent page about Agria.
