Good Enough For Government Work

Good Enough For Government Work- It wasn't really a government job but I bet the statement triggers some anti farm subsidy warriors in the comment section. #CornHarvest2022 #Triggered

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.

When your day sucked but you see that Millennial Farmer posted a video 8 minutes ago so it makes it better.

[@explorationtoday2732]

I know this daily upload is so awesome! I can't wait for another video!

[@djwheels66]

I feel the same! I know we may not be fighting the same battles, but I agree that when the day’s war is done and I see a video from Millennial Farmer, it improves everything and helps me relax. Well done, Zach!!

[@adamsherm29]

I come when I have had a "meh" day in hopes Zach is messing with the strip tiller and It messes up. Lol. Makes my day seem just a bit nicer

[@thedude4810]

Can confirm, I enjoy the hell outta these videos.

[@garyaroth]

Kinda the same for me, too

[@burtzorn4059]

Your dad is the man, years of knowledge, cool as a cucumber not too much bothers him and Yet adapts to the new day of farming Your a lucky man to have a dad like you have.

[@bevolson7619]

Love your dialogue.. you make it interesting.. I feel as if my Dad who has been deceased for many years and was a farmer who lived about 40 miles north of your farm is sitting by me watching.. thanks for sharing your lives with the rest of the world…. We love you all! Your Dad is smart to listen for noises.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Family never leave they just go AWOL.😢

[@danwhipps2641]

I have to add to your comment I grew up farming with my grandpa just south of parkers prairie a bit I wish he was sitting next to me as well but he'd rather be watching his soap opera than playing with the darn phone but if it wasn't for him me and my brother wouldn't be trying to farm and teach the next generation the lessons we learned...

[@andythesmokeman7784]

It’s a scam in here

[@andythesmokeman7784]

It’s not real yter

[@craigborgardt7684]

Your dad is amazing....generations of farming experience, knowledge and wisdom and he clearly adapts to all of the modern wizardry so much better than most. What a team.

[@flipflop4364]

Your father is the nicest person. It’s seems as nothing ever bothers him. Hats off to your pops if they had a father of the year award I’d definitely vote for him. Fathers these days don’t have the patience as he has. Wow everyone take notes on how to be the best father in the world!!!!!!

[@PaulvanNieuwenhuyzen]

They are both very respectfull with eachother, that's very clear and nice to see, compliments!

[@Jackson183]

I always think the same. Nothing seems to faze him. The hole crew just crack on 😊

[@garyaroth]

I would vote that all day long.

[@arthenry498]

Oooohh, that feeling. WHAT was that noise?? Did I actually hear it?? Did I imagine it?? Is it nothing?? Is the combine about to blow up or catch fire?? Do I keep going or should I have stopped an hour ago?? THAT causes tension inside. And that weather pattern there! That was wild! The edge of that cloud was right there. Great video Zack. I always enjoy coming along with you guys and seeing the inner workings of your place. And Becky ALWAYS makes it a coherent and wonderful presentation. THANK YOU Becky!! I do get a lot of joy here. Thanks to all of you.

[@Thomas-lq1jw]

Yep, know that feeling as a trucker 😅

[@JoshJackson13]

Great 👌 edits.

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Such a great sight to see your dad go down those steps with such ease.

[@kolle4543]

I think we all need to sit back and appreciate the amount of effort that goes in to making these videos, both from Zach and from Becky. Farming itself is hard enough, but taking your time to film all these dmall clips and then editing them together in this short amount of time while doing your main job asw is just phenomenal. Keep up the great work!

[@mickperry2712]

You are so blessed to be able to work with your Dad. He is a legend.

[@briandungan515]

Such a good rapport you have with your pops and he's always so chilled.

[@hhtrichard]

"Good enough for Government work" stood the test of time throughout my military career, love your dialogue 😍

[@mikemerrill175]

Much more pc than the “good enough for the girls we go with” I used to hear 😊

[@chrispileski6640]

That's where I learned it too.

[@jockojohn3294]

I didn't realize how addicted I've become to your videos. Farming is a lot different than I thought it would be and actually is. I love working with all kinds of machinery, growing things, and not having a regular schedule, and just doing what need to be done. If my situation was different growing up, I could definitely see me doing this kind of work. You do a heck of a job with your videos. :)

[@stanbrow]

My experience supports your theory about unusual noises being precursors to failures.

[@billroberts3864]

Zach, the interactions you have with your Dad are heartwarming. You both listen to each other and make suggestions rather one of you being dominate so that is one reason I love this channel. Blessings to you all...

[@mikelangelo2020]

13:41 Ernest reference made my day. I remember watching those as a kid. RIP Jim Varney.

[@martinmiller3313]

I feel for you with the family photos. One of the neighboring farmers has a daughter who lives in Florida and she scheduled her wedding in the middle of corn harvest. Needless to say he wasn't too happy about having to leave mid-harvest to attend, but family is more important than acreage.

[@dennisglennn50]

I'm not a farmer , I'm a truck driver. I enjoy watching your videos, there is so much more to farming then one would guess. Thank you for what you do.

[@bsuqueren]

I need more content with your dad. He seems like such a calm and genuine person. I'm happy to see he's warming up to the camera. Tell him he has fans!!! I'd love to know what he says!!!

[@shanecunningham2437]

listen to the family history with him it's awesome

[@johnnyjoejimbob]

You have no idea how chill Dad is. He is the definition and a Great teacher.

[@thaimcfly]

We just love your dad - he´s the nicest person you can work with. You must be proud🙏🏽

[@Tinytraveler]

17000, was what I remember reading when I sub'ed to this channel. Nearly a million now? I couldn't be happier for you guys! Always wishing you and your family the best. ♥

[@billjoat]

When you get to a million subscribers, Anna needs more than several rides in as many tractors as she would like.

[@MillennialFarmer]

She isn't going to actually like it!! 🤣 carrying her up the steps will be hilarious

[@paxbonum4683]

I had to smile with you and your dad listening to the combine, "hear that rattle?". Reminded me of conversations in C-17 aircraft. The pilot would say, "what's that noise?" All I could hear was the sound of 4 jets and an APU running. How in the world could you hear a noise over that racket. But over time sure enough you could hear things that didn't sound right. If you hear it, check it just like you said. Good memories. God bless.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Why run all 4 and the APU at the same time. On C-5s we hear crazy noises.constantly. :)

[@jigskibler3976]

Your temperament ( or possibly editing) is something to admire🎉 The responsibilities you give your boy is impressive! Love tuning in daily!

[@alexkalkbrenner521]

Greatest part of the day... Watching A New Millennial Farmer Harvest Video. Best videos on KZbin hands downs. Great Content Zach!

[@markreetz1001]

Videos have been great lately (they are never less than good) with all the harvest and fall tillage. It really seems that things are coming together this fall. I also say "good enough for government work." And I work for the government, so I ought to know! Your Dad and Jim are really great on the videos. And a shout out to Nate2.0. And the fact you were able to get away to get the family pictures means things are going well.

[@Felixdirtbikes]

❤ I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@wilbertvandenhengel9100]

Becky..... the editing is getting better and better. Unbelievable that you guys put out quality content in such a high pace. I love your channel.

[@Ada-zn3pw]

Crazy how much Onyx and your dad resemble each other. Even their mannerisms and movements look similar. Love the channel.

[@edcrego396]

I noticed that to there a great family

[@kendallgoldschmidt9515]

God bless, Johnson’s. Hope everything with insurance and the barn and bin are going well!

[@kevincollins8014]

The videos are always great Zach and thank you Becky for all your hard work behind the scenes editing and uploading them.

[@richardwarner963]

Kudos to Zack and "the editor" who make the time to put out extra content during the busiest season of their year. It's tedious and time consuming, and the least we could do in return is to make sure poor Anna gets to ride a tractor.

[@willieperratt2398]

Interview Jim when things quiet down, I think it would be great to find out more about him

[@Jandyg]

Can’t imagine why Dad’s worried about a weird noise on a $800,000 machine. Run it till is stops!

[@garryhale9824]

More videos - More videos - keepum coming. How does a farmer from non computer days adapt to all the technology without someone like you Zack? I agree with all the positive comments below and love the rapport with the animals as well as the humans (especially Dad!)

[@DuhartCreek]

Thanks for feeding my family, keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.

[@dmills3192]

That’s not Jim, just the neighbor trying to be as cool as Jim.. 😂❤

[@JWilliams97]

We bought a new C12F last year and heard a plastic-y "grinding" noise. We noticed that right side PTO shield rattling as well and it would slowly turn while the head was running. Eventually that plastic tube shield broke in 2 places and then the 3 pieces would grind together. They checked the shaft to see if it was bent slightly but said no. They ended up warrantying the right side shaft and shield. I still noticed the shield rotating some this year, but it never broke. I did notice corn shucks getting wedged between the tube shield and back of head a couple times and dug them out to keep them from pushing on the shield. The noise last year was definitely unsettling at first but was a relief to find it was just the shield rubbing

[@melindaburch4318]

My father who was born in 1895 used to say the same thing, “It’s good enough for government work.” Funny thing is, he used to do A LOT of government work in his machine shop.

[@joegotz1971]

At 10:53 my guess is a bearing is going out. I could be wrong. I kept going until it got worse or it broke. It is amazing that any combine operator can hear a strange noise.

[@hardies1]

It looked like the Semi Truck that was parked by the bins when you went to check on the bearing replacement had a Right Front Headlight not working. Also, a saying my Grandpa used to always use was "It's good enough for who it's for".

[@josephbasanta]

If Anna has waited this long she should get a ride in all the tractors. The Welker's dog gets to ride in the tractors and combines.

[@SirGranular]

You could have an audible conversation next to the dryer!! What a difference. Farming is clearly a lot of hard work but you do get to 'play' with some cool kit.

[@MattyMal]

Your videos are so entertaining and funny Zach! Coolest farmer of all time

[@garyaroth]

That cat came RIGHT OVER and was like yep....scratch me now

[@agaholics]

We love how realistic your videos are in portraying agriculture. Keep up the great work!!

[@willyumsac7585]

Love the push of videos lately … great work putting in the work 👍

[@davidschollenberger6871]

I run into the same problem changing chisel points not running both combines this yr hope u get done before to much snow

[@crandonborth]

He is legit pissed about the family photos in mid October. 😬😬

[@philipalanparish65]

Cart would look better behind CIH Quad track

[@rossdimond]

Wow Becky is horsing through these videos major props to both of you during harvest time.. think missus mfer definitely deserves a nice break away once harvest is done

[@MilePost106]

I miss being around farm equipment and the grain elevators. I hauled grain for quite a while and loved it, was long grueling hours during harvest, never missed a beat.

[@briantollberg7641]

This is just a suggestion what I always did with plow bolts when they would spin I would take the welder and weld the bolt to the shovel so then you could spin the nut right off or break it either or

[@Black9924v]

the neighbors got bigger wheels on his tractor. tryna keep up with us kids and our trucks😂😂

[@ChristopherHelgerson]

I was running a load up to Grand Forks when this happened >>October 13th, 4:30pm, I 94, Brandon MN, it is snowing... way too soon.

[@norlag]

looked like a headlight out on that truck as well as the bearing in the pit

[@typhoonjenkins8330]

Thanks Zach, enjoyed this one a lot. I hope you get to a million, I'm feeling bad for Puppy Anna. :)

[@JRJapp]

Love the videos up in your part of the world from Texas. Daughter playing in a tournament at the super rink this weekend

[@LoefflerFarms]

That little shield on the head, chatters on our grain head as well and I can definitely hear it in the cab. It took a long time to figure out what it was.

[@theclevercraftsman]

Hey Zach, we have a new corn head too, a 2022 C8R. It was noisy on the drive end like yours. Turned out that the collar that held the sprocket in place that drives the auger was omitted from the factory, that caused the chain to rub the framework making a racket. After they replaced the collar, sprockets, and chain it was still noisier than it should have been so they replaced the chain on the end that runs in oil. Now it sounds good. Might look into that

[@craigborgardt7684]

Wondering if Zach and farmers like him today ever just sit around and think about the vast variety of skills, knowledge and experience it takes to be a modern farmer? I know most stupes in the urban cesspools don't but it's easy to overlook the talents needed. Amazing.

[@billireland2029]

Thanks for reminding me to get Christmas photos done! 😁

[@robertpappa5129]

When chisel plows where the common tillage tool when i was younger (20 years ago at least) We just fired up the cutting torch and cut all the old bolts.

[@waterskiingfool]

Gotta tell Dad just turn the radio up when he hears a noise. Nice Ernest impression

[@schlaznger8049]

Man I miss my Dad. He passed away in March and I think about him everyday.

[@jimeaglefeather4436]

I am one of the people who designed new medals for the sub sea oil hangers that we had extreme pressure. I work for Cameron iron work in Houston Texas while there I did some time in the Forge shop we used the metal called 525 die Steel there are welding rods with this dye Steel that you can buy this is the same material I used to use and resurface on the Digger points for backhoes and track hose in the mining industry I would use the 525 die Steel to run on the surface of mild Steel these are almost totally impervious to wear you can buy the 1/8 rods I think from Lincoln welding company this is where we got them from spending a little time with the welder and probably won't have to replace these but every two to three years maybe even longer you're not going through Rock this is what I was doing for people who were digging mining Rock. I hope you get this message I do enjoy your show I am a Chinook Blackfoot from The Boundary Waters I live most of my young life in the lakes of The Boundary Waters canoe area I was a guide up there for a great part of my life had to go to Texas cuz it's too damn cold up there.

[@adamlagred5140]

Thanks for the great local videos Zach! I grew up hunting my family land by Swift Falls. Your videos are the only ones that I look forward to watching on all of the internet. Thanks again!

[@Gazzasore]

Weld 2 Old points together to make one, use them as spares

[@billbeck47]

I love your videos, learning about farming with every video. Thank you

[@briangraham540]

Love the way you treat your dog family ! ( from Canada )

[@mattanderson344]

A farming outfit near where I live has two of the J and M Patriotic carts. They look really sharp.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

We love your constant humor. Great video

[@ninus17]

I died a little inside when he stood next to the exposed chain and rotating pto shield on the header, because he still had strings on his hoodie 😬

[@angelina20161]

I'm glad to see things are starting to go well on the farm!! Good luck guys and thanks for putting out great videos.

[@qrplife]

I love the high frequency video releases during harvest time.

[@WBR965]

You should build splash boxes to throw under your hopper bottoms when dumping. You will be able to open your hoppers almost all the way and much less sweeping. We have the same pits. We can weigh dump and weigh in 5 minutes

[@briangunner8355]

Paint a magnet hunter orange and place it on the bin where grain is,,,, see it from the ground

[@karlmyers9910]

I enjoy watching. i am a retired farmer myself. I farmed 60 years before retiring in 2017. i do miss it some. Be safe and God Bless.

[@mlevesque3022]

My wife does family photos in opening day of deer season every year.

[@therealRustyShackleford]

Those hoodie strings were making me nervous when you were checking on the header noise! 😬

[@wallyman292]

Shame on Zach! He forgot to cut the ties off his hoodie, and was working around a running combine with a guard opened up!

[@asmrhead1560]

A knife smith in the area may be interested in those used up points. I wonder what steel alloy they're made of...

[@bertbinsbergen7549]

Thanks for the video and all the explaning, stay safe.

[@bertbinsbergen7549]

Love farming, i was on a FFA program in the seventies on 3 different farms. A year later i worked for Thompson, father and son from Amarillo Tx. Great experience

[@gregoryh4601]

Zach. Which one Has More Room for Her? Don’t forget her Wingdog has to keep a Eye on Her Six tooo. 👍🏻 Best KZbin Farmer out there. Any chance getting more Rent Ground ?

[@mathbrown9099]

Zach, I’ve been watching since the early days but I cannot remember this gentleman. Perhaps you could do a “Introducing the staff” video. I love the channel! C’mon 1M!

[@Locates360]

Thanks Becky and all the boys for your hard work. Would love to see more "KZbin shorts" please. The pup wants a ride in the combine for sure. SUBSCRIBED on two accounts lol...

[@jamiedayton1598]

Great job Becky for pumping this harvest videos out!

[@evilhunter64]

when mama wants family photos she gets family photos. Keep on the great videos

[@phillipdickinson8557]

That was great Zach loved it like how everything changes during harvest its go go go thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss a video .

[@williamfreeh1198]

i was an aircraft hydraulics mechanic in the navy air core. we used to say good enough for government work when we had a bird in the hanger for repairs or whatever. our shop chief would just about blow a gasket when he heard it. of course it was a joke because we took seriously what we did because lives were at stake. he was a good man but he never learned that we were just jerking his chain lol.

[@rogerglasco5941]

Amazing video. You are the man Zach. Love your videos. You have a strong work ethic. Love it.

[@michealthiel1690]

The innuendoes on the strip tiller were amazing.

[@coreydavid9497]

One more thing I like about harvest, all of the videos!

[@jesshersch3132]

You can find a local welder that does spray transfer hard facing for the sweeps, they'll last a long time. Also I taken a welder and tach the plow bolt to the sweep to get them apart.

[@Jacob4331]

Just an idea, over the winter you could talk some about the radios you guys have in the vehicles and that you use for communication

[@thomasnichols3950]

I think Jim has it figured out! Operating some of the nicest and newest equipment around and gets to be a main actor with none of the editing. He must be popular in town!

[@kevwin3429]

We had to replace the shields on our corn head because they raddled so load. Used heavy plastic conduit and painted it green

[@davidzacharias5330]

Suggestion, weld over the bolt heads. If you use a hard facing weld wire it will last longer than the rest of the point. Also we would hard face the both ends of the point, would last almost four times longer, a bit more labor now a long lasting point

[@Im2qwik]

I think it's amazing how many differnt hoodies and sweat/t shirts your Dad has :)

[@durgan5668]

I know it's silly, what with our grain going who knows where (have to go with best prices, I get it), but I'm just glad to see it being produced at all, with the last couple of crazy years. I appreciate the hard work you guys do.

[@bdc3141]

That's one thing I've also figured out. After almost 7 years and 10,000 hours, I know exactly what my rig at work should sound like. If I hear anything even a little different it's time to stop and check things over.

[@joe-tr6wl]

I have learned so much from watching your videos i live in a rural area and now understand way more what goes on. So thank you very much
