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.

[@WayCoolJr27]

The farmers relationship between father and son is always interesting. I agree with you analysis, he is a good teacher. When Zach pushes back on his Dads direction, it is always interesting. But it is the working respect that they have for eachother that makes it work. Zack loves his Dad, however, I would bet all the money in the world, Zack dad loves him more. :)

[@died4us590]

I'm so happy seeing Jim, he looks good, and is been with this crew for the year's I've been watching. I really like harvest, the corn especially, because it reminds me of my grandpa's farm, and it was always so fun running wild as a kid in the 70's. G-d bless.

It was good to see Jim again! After his performance at the bin site, he shouldn't be worried about getting fired today.

[@EvanC8]

You guys should demo the Deere hinged Draper header. I think you would really like it. We replaced all 3 of our headers last year with 45 foot hinged drapers and they do an amazing job. They pick up twisted up and or flat heavy crops perfect. And breeze through standing crops. Very impressive header.

[@snickrologen]

Unburdened by what has been, is perfect if you are a producer of “word salads”! A very special field of farming which doesn’t have many responsible producers!😂😂

[@rinardman]

Right, it's a market dominated by one producer, but that producer is very prolific, and produces word salads that are unmatched by any of the lesser producers of word salads. 🙄

[@ronlasting1203]

The movie and Unburdened references were hilarious! Love it!

[@12tallod]

18:49 Love that quote, "I leave you alone for one minute...". Does the stunt double have a dad who does stunt double work as well? Thanks for all the quotes and fun references, may the rest of the harvest go well and the editor of the videos continue to smile as the footage comes in.

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

I always enjoy your sarcasm. I was hoping that you were going to have a bin-busting crop this year, but not that way. Stay safe. It is nice to see Jim out in the field.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

For your white mold you should try spraying WHEY. Yes the by-product of cheese making. It’s a two for one, you get excellent fungal control (any fungal disease) AND it’s a fantastic foliar feed. Although it’s not applicable for you it’s useable in organic production. We use in for orchard use for 20 years now. We get it free from a small cheese maker, it’s usually dumped by them so they are happy to get rid of it. It could absolutely replace all fungicides. We use it undiluted but in Australia they use it VERY diluted up to 4% and it still works well. Try it you’ll be amazed and get to your 60bu/ac at tighter spacing. Would pay for a drone sprayer in a couple of years especially since the product is free or free plus transport.

[@OrganizedChaos75]

Every time Zack calls out the switches on the combine ("Engaging separator") I think of this... Activate Interlocks, Dynotherms Connected, Intracells Up, Megathrusters Are Go. LET'S GO VOLTRON FORCE!! That's for you Gen. X'ers

[@cptbimes1]

I wish I had 0.2% of the patience your dad shows. A great example for others!

[@ragendarkwolf2833]

Man... that Linder farm network brought back memories lol. I grew up in Litchfield,MN but live in Brooklyn now. All my relatives are still in MN. I really miss the country life and we will probably move back after my son is done with his education.

It's good to see Nate can still climb the bins. Roger did until retirement. I remember he found a squirrel at the top. It took a leap and was never seen again!

[@artayers2372]

Always happy to see Jim making an appearance...

[@brucehuff5566]

Never a dull moment. Thanks. Stay safe

[@MrTeaStew]

Use a battery powered leaf blower to get all that residue off the combine intake. It is much easier to keep it out of your eyes when you blow it down wind. It is a game changer.

[@EyesOnlyTeam86]

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Zach, your going to transfer beans out of the bin to remove the convex crown after harvest.... Get enough out so the leg is clear with room for air flow at the top of the bin.... remember, there is enough green beans to create and high moisture environment at the peak of the bin.... You do not want mold starting in those beans, so let the bin run down to create a open ventilation air space.... PROUD OF Y'ALL 😅😊😅😊🎉🎉❤

I grew up in a farm shack just a poor farmer but I don't let things bother me now because I have been unburdened by things that have burdened me in the past that is the blessing of being a millennial farmer. I think I'm gonna have to buy this shirt and I'm not even a farmer

[@SeanChYT]

@@SamDaMan4 I am not hating, just pointing out the dichotomy.

[@gregstone1306]

After having cards hacked I write more checks

[@Phil-pd4te]

I am always amazed farmers get cab corn/beans when there is technology to indicate the combine bin is full. The same here or if you think you are close climb and check how full the bin is. Cheap insurance even though someone has to climb the ladder. Anymore most of this are head slap events. Oh, one other thing is grain trailer unload doors open when someone starts to dump into the truck. Build a checklist and have the driver check the doors prior to taking the truck. Attention to detail. Old military saying "If you have time to do it over; you. have time to do it right the first time."

[@MillennialFarmer]

Yes, the sensor goes off when the tank is full, but it varies by 15-20% because of the moisture content. Every load it different. Sometimes, it doesn't go off until the peak flows down and it's spilling on top of the cab. It's not as fail-proof as most people would think

[@ZboeC5]

Don't need a checklist...I accidentally left one of my hopper traps open. Guy running the cart got me on the radio and let me know so I could shut it before loading. As long as everybody is on the same team it shouldn't be a big deal.

Sounds like after some checking and rechecking that it is not the case , thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!! That was kind of scary situation. Between you and your dad and Jim you got it figured out. Good teamwork there. Really appreciate your dad’s approach to issues. He thinks things thru and doesn’t get to excited until the facts are known. Valuable lessons there. You all were doing ok with the soybeans in the field until all all of this came up. Onyx doing great with the grain cart. Nice job onyx. Good to see Jim helping out with everything. Sure glad Jim caught the noise the grain leg was making and shut it off before you all got there. Nice going Jim!!!!!! Will be interesting how this grain leg issue comes out. Please keep us posted.

[@robertpeters9438]

I was once pulled over by 5 police cars when they thought I was a bank robber. I worked till 2.30am at a drive in theatre. I had a car just like the robbers. When the police had seen my unattended car at the driven they cased it from 8pm ish till 2.30 am when I closed up. After a few miles five police car suddenly converged all around me near an intersection. You know the drill! Out of the car!!! Hands on the roof! Shut up! Don't move! Soon they checked the car inside and out, under with mirrors. Checked my tires and spare by hitting them or bouncing them. Soon they screamed, "IT'S NOT HIM!!!!!!! They disappeared in seconds.

And bushier plants need the space to get the proper amount of sunlight. Done properly, spaced far enough apart, you can get the maximum yield per plant with the minimum cost. Planted closer together it will cost you more in seed and the plants will start producing much fewer seeds so you actually end up with a smaller yield.

[@robsittler3638]
