Harvesting More Than Corn!

Harvesting More Than Corn! We got more rain but we're back in the field again! Harvest 2021 has had its challenges but overall we're gonna wrap things up a couple weeks earlier than normal. Onyx took some time off from grain carting to head out for the MN youth deer hunt. He's been tracking this monster all summer. Hard work pays off! Congratulations on your first deer harvest Onyx!

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.

@@martinr1834 Indeed venison is one of the top meats in my book. Reindeer is my favorite tho. Alot of wild population looks like its doing pretty ok in the US when i compare them to our "European standards" Hunting culture is big here, even amonst city dwellers. So we have abit low numbers on spieces, and animals that rival hunting gets killed. Like in my nation of Norway we have half the amount of wolves that even a small place like yellowstone has. And Norway is about 105 times as big as yellowstone. And we have like 1/5 th of yellowstones bear population in the whole country. I do think hunting needs to take a rest in my nation tho. But US looks like it does much better. After all, it was pretty much "untouched" untill the colonists arrived :P
