Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

Much better with me and my grandpa. I learned some basic signals when operating a tractor with a bucket loader, or moving stuff around. A lot of times he would just frantically wave his hands, give up, come into the tractor and yell at me (I have hearing loss and a tractor isn't necessarily the easiest place to hear; he's cool though). I was 16 at the time. Although, to be fair, I did get the hang of it eventually!

My boy was bulking in our excavator at 10. Kids are a products of the opportunities we give them and the time we put in. They are far more capable than most give credit. Like you I was most nervous when he started loading trucks. Big excavators can nail a truck pretty easy. But he took his time and got use to the feel of the job and in no time was loading like a pro. I know exactly how you feel watching your boy work like that.

When I was 10 my dad turned me loose with a brand new Deere 4440 and a 220 centerfold disk. Probably before he got home in his pickup I had managed to snag the corner of an old hen house with the disk while turning around at the end of the field and pulled it down. The hen house had been eaten up enough by the termites and powder post beetles that it didn't damage the old man's disk at all and it collapsed in heap. The old widow lady who owned the rented 80 came out there and saw the pile of rubble and I climbed down out of the cab expecting her to be mad and she said: "I wanted to get rid of that old chicken house anyway if your daddy asks we will just tell him the wind blew it down."

You taught your son one of the most important lessons today. Where the restroom is located on those new tractors :-) Great to see you teaching your children all the skills they will need to succeed. Thanks for you work on the videos - Mrs. Millennial Farmer.

Good job Onyx! Farm kids just grow up doing things like this. I first helped on the farm when I was 4 years old. Dad would put the hay truck in granny gear and I would stand in the seat and steer the truck between bails to be loaded. By the time I was 10 I was cutting, raking, and bailing hay by myself. When things broke, I helped fix them. Later in life I was the head of department over around 40 technicians. All things being equal, I always hired a farm boy over someone who wasn't. They weren't always calling for help, they just got the job done. Farm kids just have a whole different outlook on life. It is good to see you carrying that on. Just remember that when he makes a mistake, even a costly one, don't chew him out. My dad would calmly explain what I had done wrong and what I should have done. That is how I learned.
