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.

The perspective looking down on the truck is wild! This really shows the size of the equipment used in modern farming!

[@MagicalAscension]

It's been great watching your son grow into being such a confident, capable young man. 🎉

[@Mom-us5qy]

Just graduated boot camp a week and a half ago, still catching up on all the videos lol, keep it up

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="203">3:23</a> Sometimes you gotta give the bins a little pat pat. Tell them you love them.

[@nathancudaback5712]

I’ve ben watching you since you started. Love the info and educational content you bring. Keep up the great work Zack. I’m a sewer and water utility installer. Since I’ve been watching you I’ve realized that my equipment has bathrooms just like yours.😂

[@deerwhisper9791]

Your dad has good taste in trucks finally,I have the same truck and color

[@steamboatwillie935]

Didge: I could have caught that birb!! 🐦

[@farmerwoody]

Great Video as always!!!! Good to see how your farm is getting along so far with Harvest

[@scottw4336]

Love you guys. Thanks for the motivation 🤙😎🤙

[@KNJensen]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> looks really good with the 3 red trucks lined up ;)

[@rsh769]

Great video, great people, great equipment, and of course cool dogs. Im glad there is such a video, where there is no politics, but only nature and people and a little dust. Hello from cold Russia.

[@jerryfischer3988]

Thanks for the info on the camping and shooting spot. We'll see when we can come up and use it next year!

[@lukesa7770]

On the topic of tiling that field. Not many around here(manitoba, about 5 hours north of you) tile, it's just starting to catch on. Alot around here use scraper and create ditches through the fields to drain.

[@Broken_AK47]

i would like to work for ( and with ) someone like you. keep up the amazing work. watching since over a year now.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Awesome 👍😎 It's thanks giving in Canada

[@Jaredstubeify]

[@Ray-cv6kg]

Zac, you need to improve your pre harvest maintenance by paying close attention to how Randy “The Master Pipe Layer” gets ready each year and why he has very little unexpected breakdown! …. Just saying, The “Pipe Layer” knows all😎😎😎😎😎

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@robertb188]

Always look forward to seeing Anna and Didge. Oh, and that Farmer also. 😂

[@bjl1226]

You mentioned elevators. In my younger days, when I would climb the derrick on drilling rigs, we had a harness attached to a cable, which went uo to a pulley and had a counter weight on the other end. It was like climbing in zero gravity. You may want into look into it. Made it so easy and didn't burn you out by the time you got to the top.

[@docjohnson9639]

Looking good! 💪 Up in Alberta, Canada. We got some lovely frost the other day. Oh, sad days. Lol

[@TheJustin574]

One of my German shepherd's favorite plush toy is his hedgehog 🦔 lmao

Great video...again! Open end adjustable wrench = Multi mm, All16ths.

[@RonMcwhirter]

Zac. You must keep in pretty good shape running up and down those bins. Great vids great show

[@ianwood6864]

Hi you two, I wish you and all the team all the best, A special thanks to the video editor I wish you all the best. From Ianwood ❤️❤️

[@steveoulman634]

Zach, your "seagulls" are most likely Franklin's gull, a species of gull common across the central part of the continent. They frequently follow farm equipment picking up insects disturbed by tilling, etc.

[@mick6ful]

`Great to see Jim in the flesh. Happy harvest Jim

[@SRF1978]

Awesome vlog Zach! Anna and dig are great too! Pretty erie on top of those bins! But a great view! Cool seeing Jim and your dad out as well! Hooking up a corn header to some skid row doesn't get much better in the farmer life! That 4wd John Deere is bada$$

[@magnumardent]

As much as I enjoy you, your family and your father , that Jim fellow must be the coolest guy on KZbin.....regards from Scandinavia😊

[@rickylong2768]

Stunt double.....hope u got everything going good...Zac I bet your overhead is thru the roof. I am amazed with farmers as u. I appreciate all you do for the crops that put fuel in my trucks and food on my table. Love the videos. When do we get to see racing vids

[@os4hwks757]

surprised me with that feed chuckle on the duck call; got skills! Lol

[@WoodWorxGuy]

You really oughta have a stunt double do that ladder climbing. I know a guy that looks just like you. 😂

[@workinprogress5936]

Perfect video length before I watch my Dodgers play at 1pm.

[@uhhello173]

Love the channel for years now. Wondering if you've ever discussed regenerative farming on any of your platforms. Know its an extremely complicated issue. Would love to hear from boots on the ground.

[@garymorel6621]

There's nothing better than the fresh smell of turned soil in the spring.

[@raymondo162]

spring ??

[@craigsmith8217]

I bet some farmer could invent a simple PTO shaft puller. Maybe something to grab the shaft and pull against the frame. Include a brush to clean the splines.

[@brianfitzgerald6142]

Zack... You can make an improvement by installing silo fill monitors. These will monitor the fill level remotely (no climbing, beating, and banging). It will be safer because you aren't climbing as much, and it will help you avoid potential silo and equipment damage from accidental overfills. It could be set up to prealert you to overfill situations and could even stop filling if it was getting full. Yes, more money, but more safety, too. Please consider.

[@DannyMorrison5i8yrd]

Zack you have more courage that me mamma scared of those hights❤😊😊😊😊

[@Error-z8g]

That Borat voice was actually pretty good.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

GREAT STUFF...THANK Y'ALL 👍😊😅😊😅😊🎉🎉❤❤

[@craigwavra3495]

So Onyx is doing tillage this year!! Sweet, now he gets to do the Montages now!! Time to give him a camera!!

[@BChandl13]

Crazy that there's not a better way to determine how full a grain bin is than the stunt double climbing the bin and banging on the outside.

[@user-FarmerB20]

Awesome video I love watching you guys

[@DarrylSparlin]

Another great video. You guys know how to do it right.

[@jeffhennings6579]

so far so good boys be safe

[@avet22]

Fuck I love watching you guys Harvest !!

[@MillennialFarmer]

@@avet22 thanks bud!

[@futurefarm73]

Thanks for the videos, full of recognizable stuff. Have you tried deep ripping / subsoiling (550-650mm) that rented field, that the soil can hold much more water for higher yields?

[@randywilson9611]

Great video good to see y'all

[@chuckbeam7898]

Hey MFarmer Border View out indicator lights on outside of bin to show how full it is. Maybe it’s something you would have interest in

[@ianmckay1780]

I know something, I couldn't do one climb, let alone doing three, so hats off to you for that. Mind you, I've got an excuse - I'm 69, and can't walk around my flat, let alone walk the miles you do! However, the view from a' top of the bins is wonderful, just don't look directly down, then the stars start flying. Shame you couldn't use the drone to check the tops before you had to climb, then you might not have to. You'd have seen the open lid, Who's fault was that? Anyway, your video's always have something of interest to view, or even, just listen to your ramblings, they're worth it! Thanks from UK.

[@nightsailor1]

Well Done Captain!

[@peterbilt9644]

Gotta love running beans through stuff….NOT….like running a grinder across steel lol! Might want to have your millwright crew build you a platform around your distributor so you can get to it to fix situations like this and have them put as much ceramic chip liner where they can!….and like every good elevator have LOTS of good quality duct tape on hand!!! lol!!

[@asmrhead1560]

I didn't quite catch it from last video, is it the shape of the vents in that bin that prevented beans from raining out of it before it got "roof bulging" full?

[@Cipher160]

I was not ready for the views from looking down from the top of the distributor. Whew boy

[@lytken]

hi Zack you should have binoculars standing on the big control panel where you start it all when you unload or transfer corn and beans, that we help you spot possible problems up at the top of your tall plant, and possibly save you some trips up and down them, and you could install a tower crane with a basket and a remote control that way you could quickly get to any spot in your bin place, and then you did not have to hire another firm to come and fix it and ore take you up there, i am sure it would be worth the investment

[@kurtschnoebelen1579]

You have seagulls because if you live by the bay you'd have bagels!😂

[@miltonhurd1016]

It would seem with all the technology in use on your farm that there would be an automated way to tell how much grain is in the bins.

[@brytongreco6542]

First 10 comments by the way, I love your videos I’m 14 as well and A farmer it’s nice to see others are keeping it in

[@pgrafton]

Likely not seagulls. Terns are common in our area. Terns by us have black wingtips.

[@frostbitefalls.moosylvania1514]

Farm On Rock On Transfer On 🌅

[@Lawrence-k4d]

Was shocked the dogs were not in their assigned seating. Maybe they just wanted to look out different windows, I guess.

[@countryflyer4536]

That's what my father called an adjustable metric wrench.. As we only had what he said was American sizes!!! He aqlso told me I couldn't hold a flashlight in the correct spot as well....

[@BG-vq9fd]

Are the geese hunting people from the boat? Those things sometimes come out to my beach 40 or 50 at a time.

[@harared831]

You need some radar levelsensors on the grainbins so you dont have to climb those ladders that often. Don't know, but strange if Sukup dont have a solution for that.

[@theda850two]

Onyx is really beginning to show his value to the operation , atta-boy 👏🙌👏

[@stephenburkholder9411]

A magnetic rhino-hyde patch will likely fix that distributor inner spout in 90 seconds with no tools once you get to it. Not a permanent fix but it will get you trough the season.

[@Fire33410]

Have you ever unloaded and shot grain past the grain cart?

[@rapturebound197]

Roughly speaking how long does it typically take to transfer grain from one of your full silos to an empty one?

[@jerryfish1303]

Hey Zach, how was your back been since you were having problems with it several months ago I believe just curious. Hope you’re getting better.

[@Allen-w9d]

Not all gulls live by the sea, but there are a lot more gulls concentrated along the shores than there are spread out over the inland areas. Lots more stuff for them to eat along the shorelines. Where I live in the high plains, we attract hawks when we are plowing. Plowing stirs up mice and rats and cottontail rabbits that the hawks can catch and kill for food. They also migrate south this time of the year. The jackrabbits are too big for the hawks although I have seen a crow attack and kill a jackrabbit.

[@ezone913]

That's just good parenting right there.

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video!!

[@randykovalenko1236]

Did you check the tires on the grain cart. They look a little bit flat.

[@scottstefanatz]

Zach have you ever thought about getting some SimplySafe low light cameras and placing them inside each bin so you could check how much grain is in each bin without having to climb each bin. I mean I’m sure simplysafe would love to provide you with cameras and they could then market their product to millennial farmers who are lazy like all millennials

[@MillennialFarmer]

They would be covered with an inch of dust over night.

[@shawnmason5290]

Yep

[@jimm2099]

Didge was on the wrong side of the ranger, is she okay? Thanks for all the videos!

[@gcranch9913]

Do you consider your chisel plow to be “minimum” or “no” till?

[@simpliciocuarto4671]

Seagulls are seen on farmland because they find worms mice insect grain and wheat, I asked a game warden on a farm in Pennsylvania

[@jodyt.9651]

I’m surprised they don’t install some heavy clear plexiglass. It would need to be 6” wide near the top of the bin. Similar to a sight glass

[@AppalachianRancher]

They make a small device that can be installed into the side of the bin up close to the top that pushes out when grain reaches that height. About the size of a mail slot but you have to cut a hole in bin way up in there to install them so you need a boom truck and all that or spend the money to get someone to.

[@Nighthawke70]

Time to buy into a drone for this kind of inspection.

[@bikerktmktm21x]

Do you change individual settings in the computer? JD or any other brand, not have generic presets to switch from soybean to corn headers?

[@warnerherst6709]

Tie a cable at the top of each leg to send tools up and down ? Don't have carry them much SAFER !

[@gzahirny]

Also need to close that door asap because it'll fill with rain water

[@barbarasinclair6250]

Wow zach

[@MrTonyharrell]

You need a bosons chair like on a sailboat. They run off the winches.

[@Anriandor]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1531">25:31</a> I _sea_ what you did there 🐦

[@NouisFam]

Seagulls but no swans damnit. Stop looking at me swans!

[@denault3985]

I guess Anna plays with toys while Dig goes after the real thing. Climbing around the bin suite still scares the **** out of me, no rails on the ladders or attachment devices?

[@waggtech4883]

Does your range have a 1000yd National Match berm? 😎

[@johnfox4162]

No way I have the same boots as you😂

[@RJJ6129]

How much are you paying for Government juice per gallon bulk? About how much do you use a year? Not trying to be nosy,just genuinely curious. Also is it tax deductible or does the Gov & State double whammy you? Thank you

[@edwardbarrett5691]

Zach, hate to be the guy who says it. But please put a shroud around the belt and pulleys that are at ground level. Not for the humans, I’m sure you’ve all got enough common sense, but for the hounds safety.

[@kluckfabrication5991]

I wonder who said I love you first, I would think Mr bales did lol

[@HootMaRoot]

I guess it's only certain states that give land owners tax breaks for land improvement like tile/drainage works

[@danishpuma]

I got vertigo from watching the video. 😂

[@maxxmich]

u really need to put inspection windows on the grain bins....

[@garyduquette1784]

If you put money in rental ground for drainage and the land owner dies do you just loose out if another farmer buys it.
