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.

It's OK there is still farms in Scotland that have been rock picking for the last 300+ years and rocks the same size as an atv still magically appear every now and then, it's called future job creation/protection

[@farmerned6]

more stone you pick , the more you lower the field , closer to the stones deeper down - simple!

[@Agrovasco]

And thank god for them because we wouldnt have any homes!

[@Northern_Farmer]

I say the frost pushes them to the surface!!

[@davidwoermansr]

If you don't get all the little ones they grow we have a spot where we took out some trees to build new fence so we thought we'd just clear the little spot that was growing in the field and now all that grows there is rock

[@JLC87420]

So his family has picked rocks for over 300 years then.

Can’t imagine any much more frustrating than trying to make rotten wet seed go thru hi-tech machinery with precision metering. Much respect for showing genuine unfiltered frustration. Folks need to know it isn’t always punch the auto pilot and eat snacks.

[@JP-uk9uc]

No doubt - take a deep breath and work through it, in a 100 years no one will know the difference. Whatever we deal with is nothing compared with those who survived far worse wretched circumstances namely all the wars including 70AD; Matthew 25:34-36, Mark 13:19, Romans 9:29

[@cunninghamfarm3792]

We've been raising seed beans for a long time. The whole process is very strict. Something must have happened to the seed after it left the seed conditioner. Most likely snow or rain got into the post-cleaning storage bin. Whoever is storing clean soybean seed should visually inspected the bins as planting time neared. It's shocking that high priced soybeans would be dumped on the ground. The feed, oil and biofuel end user has a zero tolerance for treated seed, so that is the quickest. Even if this load wasn't treated, the planter or seed tender might have a few treated seeds and that would be a big problem. If we have leftover seed that is not in the original package, we mix it in the cover crop seed.

[@ricvis44]

Your Dad is Spot-On!!! And!!! The packaging for the 1 gallon jugs of Government juice is incredible!

In the 1940s when I was 7 and 8 years old we visited Grandfather Sandy's homestead in southern Saskatchewan. In the Summer, not winter. In looking back the Depression prevailed, prices were uncertain and there were the usual weather threats plus hoppers and rust. He used a team of horses to pull the hay rick as well as the swather and binder. And for today's Zach post--a stone boat pulled by one horse.

All that messing around for a piece of a seed bag tag that must have gotten into the tender when we did some custom replant corn...

[@kimbrandwijk]

I do appreciate that even if the coop comps it, you still consider dumping it an absolute last resort, and would rather find another way to deal with it.

[@deangelojeremitriusvickers6319]

It’s not fun but you either spend 5 months you don’t have sifting through clotted seed or just dump it and be done with it. That seed is absolutely worthless to Zach now because you can’t plant it as seen. I’d take him a week or longer to plant that one field😂

Zach, I understand how you felt getting a service call for a tail lamp. I'm a former Deere service tech and I've seen a number of "easy" issues. More than once I've checked machines because they won't even crank over. I put them in park and they started right up. Other times the engine would not speed up past a certain RPM. Once it was "cab trash" (soda/beer cans, snack packages) stuck under the foot accelerator pedal and once a log chain under the pedal. There are lots of unusual reasons for a farmer's woes. Just have to take them in stride.

Love your dad's view of Def he must be a republican farmer😂

[@randysimper1843]

Absolutely loved your Dad's comment about DEF! So accurate and true.

So...Zach doesn’t say a bad word but Dad does? 😂👍🏽❤

[@paulthiessen6444]

Went to ag school with a fellow, never heard the mildest of cuss words from him. Years later I met his dad, his normal conversation was littered with f bombs. No exaggeration, every sentence has a least one.

When we were building my house a friend got his finger smashed between the foundation and 1 of the. I-beams spanning the foundation took the tip right off he didn't say anything except can you run me to the ER I don't think I can drive right now my dad said boy I'd be cussing up a storm he looked at my dad and said what good would that do it still hurts the same I haven't heard my dad cuss in the past 25 years since then

[@paulthiessen6444]

@@davidwoermansr I do let them slip occasionally. But my crew knows, if they screw up and I am very calm and don’t cuss, they know they screwed up bad.

@@paulthiessen6444 I have a welding helmet named the silver bullet because if something expensive happens I get real quiet and if whoever screwed up keeps trying to explain instead of letting me accept it and figure it out it's been known to fly across the shop with accuracy now it's held together with duct tape several layers somehow my auto shade hasn't broke

Loop on end of wire and push from bottom end. Seal with good old duct tape as a temporary fix.

Trust me DEF DPF and EGR on diesel engines are the WORST thing the EPA ever freaking did to them. Prior to those mandated systems it was nothing for an OTR engine to run over 1 million miles BEFORE needing any major engine work like an overhaul on an average basis. Nowadays since these systems were mandated anyone that gets over 600K on his engine is starting to go WHEN IS IT GOING TO BLOW UP IN MY FACE. The majority of the problems are in the EGR coolers that get sandblasted by soot and convert the very minute amounts of Sulphur found in the fuel into SO4 or sulphuric acid which over time will even dissolve stainless steel and when it does you get oil and coolant mixing and BANG you have mayo in your cooling and lube systems of your engine.

So, you would rather die from NOX lung poisoning? Interesting.

[@haroldbenton979]

@Paul Copeland the actual amount of CO2 reduced and other emissions are less than .01 gram per hour since those systems were mandated. What's worse is that these engines equipped with these things actually get worse fuel economy than the older ones. I have quite a few friends in the OTR industry that bought glider kits when they could. They put in a pre EGR engine into a modern aerodynamic truck. They're getting over 10 mpg. These modern engines might break 6 if you're lucky. I was getting 8 mpg or better in 2000 with a testbed Detroit that development was canceled on when the EPA decided that 12 years was way to long to get ready and decided that they needed to make it 6 years. Learn about history read about how the EPA has a history of declaring without proof entire industries engines are cheating threatening to withdraw production certificates from their respective manufacturers unless they agree to make mandatory changes in a consent decree that can't be challenged in court. They did it to all the OTR industry engine makers in 98. Volkswagen in 00s.

We had a problem with rotten beans last year

[@xxUncleBuckxx]

Dads got a point about the DEF

[@paulcopeland9035]

So, you would rather have poisoned lungs?? NOX is a dangerous, fatal emission. Talk to any underground miner you can find and ask him about NOX poisoning!!
