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.

If you put a geotechnical fabric over the existing driveways and a new layer of gravel on top of them it should help clean up your yard. The geotechnical fabric separates the soil from the gravel and keeps the mud to a minimum. Love the show. Keep up the great work.

[@MillennialFarmer]

That sounds like a lot of work, but I'm going to check into it!

When I saw that "Robo-Probe" "thingy," the grain elevator used to test your semi's corn it brought back memories of my high-school years. My Dad worked for an outfit that went around and tested grain at elevators and barges for moisture and foreign material. Of course, they didn't have automatic probes back then. Just long poles they had to use by old fashion elbow grease.

[@toddbehrends1373]

[@farmalldave]

Our 9870 does the same thing if it sits a while. Seems to help if you just turn the key on without cranking it, there’s a lift pump that runs and helps prime it all up. Even cycle it a few times. That usually does the trick on ours

[@m2hmghb]

[@TheBiggRiggz]

It costs money, but if you put larger rock, like 2-4 inch quarry spall down first on your driveway and yard, then top with 1 inch crushed clean rock, that should make a massive difference in how muddy your yard gets. But sometimes it just can't be helped. I do know if you put straight gravel on top of dirt, the mud will never go away

[@DonaldSeverson-mg7ep]

[@josephlawless6013]

When you put the new dryer in have them set it high enough to drive the skid steer under for cleaning season. Or at least high enough to walk under. Also tile the driveway to allow the water to drain off. Bet Randy would love to tile the driveway for you. Have them check the block heater it might be bad or weak.

I think that's one of the most expensive movie sets a production has ever used. That main character Zach seems knowledgeable about the farm. He must pay close attention to the script!

[@tommosher8271]

Don't know if you have have noticed or not but the milder the winter the longer, colder and wetter the springs are. Good luck with that if I were you I'd make any plans you can to get ready for that.

[@deltabravo1257]

Winter has been very mild in NE Washington too. We had about 6" or so of snow in January. I typically rack about 80-100 miles of plowing with my Ranger around my house and shop each winter. This winter I've plowed one evening, then the next day, only doing about 6 miles of plowing. I honestly don't miss the plowing, but the lack of snow in concerning for water and wildfire season. Last summer there were two nasty fires near Spokane, WA that started the same day.

[@steveneal2706]

hope you start feeling better soon. Great video

[@bradpogue3448]

That new grain leg with be handier than a pocket on a shirt. Boy that combine started real hard. That hitch is cool. Congrats on the new truck

[@mattattac1]

You may want to pour some Heet in the fuel tank of that combine. When it gets really cold like that of course the fuel can gel up and if there is any water in it just a little bit that will cut the fuel pressure down to against nothing. Its really irrating but Heet usually takes care of it.

[@jeffhennings6579]

another good video hope ya feel better and ya this winter has been very easy barely and snow and only 1 night near 0 here in upstate NY

[@alrastapkevicius5408]

You need to put fibre cloth down before You put gravel down. Fibre cloth lets the water through but keeps gravel/stone on top.

[@mikehart4357]

Hope your feeling better Zack. I know the feeling😢

[@robertsanders6463]

Thankyo once again!

[@Wolf-hd9ke]

Who could ask for better farm hands than the two you have working for you in this video? They don't complain about their pay, show up on time, don't leave early, eat whatever lunch is provided, don't back talk, laugh at your jokes, always back you up against strangers and such, and are generally your friends. Plus, they cuss the machinery when you do, too. However, they can get distracted occasionally and chase a rabbit or go off and dig a 🕳 hole. But, have you ever seen a worker who doesn't do that?

[@brianhartman5845]

Talking about dogs chasing tires my Uncle had a dog at his greenhouse operation that bit a forklift tire as it was moving it went around a couple times but came out okay but never went near the forklift again feel better.

[@Nighthawke70]

The best thing to do about the muddy yard is to BLADE the first 4-8 inches or so off the top, then lay down crushed lime, and then 1/2 inch rock, finally gravel until it meets your desired level. And make sure it is graded so the water won't pool and make more mud pie.

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi Zack. Loved the video. Just watched Ag With Emma on her channel on the 29th of Feb. She demoed a new9rx. The tractor she drove had no DEF. Higher hp than the new case. Pulled a big drill and other implements up to 14mph. Bigger cab and other improvements to the tractor. Demoe time for you.
