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.

8RX? Yes, yes, yes! Would love to see you have one on the farm either permanently or at least a long term demo like the challenger, I’m sure Deere must want to partner up with you by now, especially now welters have their Case partnership!

[@tomn7087]

Can't believe you guys shell corn in those conditions - ice, snow, 16 degrees, frozen ground. Coldest it gets during corn harvest down here might go as low as 90 degrees, and that would be a lucky day. 8RX for Jim - yep he's worth it. Good job with videos in any conditions especially with frozen ground.

In the 1950s on my grandfather's farm, I rode on the tractor pulling a corn harvester that I recall was only about 4 rows wide. I doubt he had so many complaints about it. Of course, he was doing only about 80 acres. Progress!

If there was a year to have a large following on your KZbin farming channel, 2019 was it. Thanks for showing the world just how much work goes into agriculture. Thanks for being an agvocate Zach. Love the channel, keep it up and best of luck with the rest of harvest.

[@Heathfx5]

watching the hopper fill up on the combine is so satisfying! Like literally watching money flow into the bank!

[@michaelshipton3596]

If you want to keep your log pressure up in those cold ambient temps you would need to put an insulated blanket over the log tank and a small heater under the tank and then heat trace and insulate your main line going to your dryer. We deal with that issue in northern bc Canada non stop in the winter. That should fix u up.

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Zach, I now know what it's like to farm at the North Pole. Too bad you have to get out of the combine to take a bathroom break. John Deere should work on that in addition to adding a refrigerator! Thanks for the incredible videos. - Dean from Edina

I grew up in Northern Mn. Hallock/Roseau basically. Anyway, i was reading your post and saw Edina by your name. I played hockey when i was in high school and Edina was a very tough team. It was fun as a small school to try and take out the Big Cities teams:).

That head is very similar to our Claas. We have been known just to flip that center shield up when the corn won’t feed into the feeder house. 90% of the time it will feed good then.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

We have an older capello folder header and it doesn’t have that shield. Works fine with not throwing out ears

I have a 12 row geringhoff and that shield you are talking about was the first thing to go

[@robhakeman5873]

Jim needs a 8Rx, cant lose good old Jim. We had a 9500 Zach the 1st year they came out and we dumped on the go at 5.5 - 6 mph and we would get alot of build up of trash and stalks on and under the cab on the feeder house and we lost our combine from a fire as the hydraulic lines were extremely hot and started a combine fire and we lost it, but luckily we had a 4wd discing behind us and he went around the combine and then went right through the stalks and field that were on fire before the fire department got there otherwise there would of been alot of Acres burned up ours and neighbors fields so after that episode we always had the 4whl and disc in the same field we were combining. Hope you can get propane to finish and there talking about the temperature is supposed to warm up now through Tuesday of next week. Love your videos and love your operation and grain set up. Do you look at adding more bins in the near future ?

And i called the Dealership to come and get it. And they was like why u don't like it. I said cause ur bouncing around like a rag doll in the dryer. I said it does not handle very good turning. And i said when u turn like a 180 degree angle. I showed where it destroyed the yard. And i said if we have to replace a track. I said that would be hard to do.
