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.

[@mrmikeyd2]

No big budget production is as entertaining as your video's. I am not a farmer and frankly was getting a little bored watching some of the other farming videos I subscribe to due to them being all technical but your videos are funny, sometimes have drama, and just all around entertaining. Thanks for posting Zach!

[@markreetz1001]

Very good video, Zach. You need to be careful who you pickup on the road. Cool to see Mike on your video. You did well instructing Mrs. Millennial Farmer on the do-hicky, but you failed to cover the whatchamacallit, thingamajig, and the closely related thingamabob. She'll never get the hang of it if you don't tell her. lol!

[@dougbarber4209]

It’s glad to see your spirits are up a bit. I’m sure the harvest of 2019 will go down in history as a gigantic pain in the ass for you guys in the Midwest.

That speaks volumes. Zach is indeed blessed.

[@JW-eq6hi]

Teaching Becky on camera is a great way to teach your audience. I don't think most of us non-farmers fully appreciate the knowledge and skill that goes into something as simple as unloading grain.

[@noocemiller6005]

So Farmhand Mike drove all the way to Minnesota for a KZbin comedy gag and a plug? That’s the kind of I’m-all-in, why-not, gung-ho hard work that built America!! My hat’s off to you, sir! 🎩

[@EDBZ28]

Wondering why you guys just don’t fold the cart auger in/down...especially when you’re going along trees? For what little you lose when you fold it doesn’t seem like it’d compare to an expensive mishap

[@byamrcn]

Mike Less does some terrific KZbin work--his videos are what led me to you guys and to a few of the other ag channels.

Only five days difference in planting and you go from 23%-25% to nearly 30% moisture content Zach??,that's a really BIG difference right there🤔.

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Nice! This is the year of the “cart wife” it seems. Question: I’ve been toying with getting a blue parrot 450 or a plantronics voyager 5200 and I think I’ve seen you using both in your last few videos. What are your recommendations?

[@stevebrekken2547]

Why don't you fold the cart auger in each load?

[@Nemorowcropper]

+1000. I never have understood why people leave augers up on cart. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

[@bretschapman3206]

I second the fold the auger in comment. If you set auger fold to lever II or III for that matter it(the button) will be forward and out of the way when forward pressed and set to a timer. This way someone can't accidentally fold the auger while unloading.

[@BradPhillips]

We use the number IV switch for the auger. On our 8285R the switch is back by your elbow. You would really need to screw up to hit that while dumping.

[@mrih1586]

Maybe he likes dodging tree limbs? Makes no sense to me either.

[@hollodollo4771]

To keep them aligned and stop kernels getting inbetween them and crushing them im guessing

[@brianbarnes350]

Homeless Mike, priceless. Lots of funny content. Good video!!

[@stevengadzinski2802]

Question, what's the difference between frozen ice, and frozen water?

[@alexshields1520]

The bit with farm hand Mike was unique. The frozen ice and water Quip , was that intentional humor or just a brain spasm? Is a do dail, thing a mijiggy the same thing as a do day moment, just asking for a friend. Keep up the great videos .

[@Wstrassb]

I thought mike was paparazzi. Never did I think a farmer would have groupies.

[@timothykirk1497]

After seeing how much you were bouncing around I think Jim needs a raise or a new tractor that’s a rough ride for sure

[@mikefitzpatrick5209]

Did Becky grow up on a farm or was her first experience on a farm after she married you?

[@MillennialFarmer]

After she met me!

I enjoy watching your channel we’re in from it’s all cotton (west Texas) and gives me something to do while we strip cotton right now keep up the good work always cool to see something like I do like I say where I’m from the tractors are green and the trucks are chevys

[@joenissan]

Does the doohickey that adjusts your thingamabob also control the whatchamacallit?

[@andban92]

HOW MANY CATS?!!! DO you actually like cats or do you guys have it for the sake of kids? I also like cats,but i'm totally fine with 3 cats.

They're for the kids! We recently had a litter of 6 so we're overloaded. I like 3 wild cats. 8 of them in my garage is giving me ulcers.

[@BradPhillips]

Why don't you just fold the grain cart auger in when you are done with it so you don't have to worry about tearing it up?

[@Whisperblade]

My guess would be wear and tear, the more moving parts get adjusted the quicker they wear out.

[@BradPhillips]

@@Whisperblade I'd think letting a heavy auger hang off the side bouncing through the field would cause more wear and tear.
