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.

You mentioned that Onyx stayed home from school to help you - I fully respect that - a lot of money on the line when it’s go time and when you need help you need help - he’s a stand up young man

[@travisservant7849]

It's nice seeing a planter work with zero issues. Last year planting was a mess!

[@CDFCaptain93]

In the spring of 1985, I worked the farm fields for the last time. I just finished two 80 acre fields and was just going to stop at the next one but I wanted to do one last round. I'm not going to lie, it was emotional. I had a sense of pride, elation and a bit of sadness all at once. When I walked away from that tractor that last time, I knew in my heart it was going to be last time. I sure do miss it.

[@tf7274]

I worked at a well known auction company...I had a shoulder for crying on, at the end of many sales.

[@joescheller6680]

I know your feelings. I did that last year in March. Walked Way from a life time of going very active on farm and trucking. I miss it badly. I had to devote my remaining life to my wife's aliment who has lewy body dementia requiring 24 7 care. I am currently in the Philippines home caring her with live in caregiver have been at it 8 long years now. In it for the durations.

[@pdrphil8159]

My brother just retired from farming... He started buying farm land at 14 yrs old...thats all he ever wanted to do , farm. It wasnt my thing , but we did lease river bottom for 5 yrs to grow corn.. It was very hard work.. No fancy tractors & planters back then...open cabs & mechanical planters ... But they worked well... After the 5 yrs lease my brother bought the 600 acres . I thought he was crazy ! But...he made it pay . He really did well when he got into raising beef...he fed them from his land & sold excess corn & hay.. Anyway...he started selling his land back 5 yrs ago... He sold his last 1200 acres this yr ... Must say , he retired in comfort.. All those yrs of land & equipment payments seemed like an insane amount of debt .. But he bought most of his land in the 80's & at todays prices he made out very well... Both of his kids are lawyers & had no interest in farming... He bought 80 acres in Montanna about 5 yrs ago & built a cabin on it .. Thats where he retired & loves it... He'll be 63 in August & he said he wanted just enough acres to not feel penned in... Good luck to you sir...

[@johnking8679]

I hear you when it comes to retirement !! I am a retired Facilities Manager and miss all the activities of the job. Repairs, forecasting, challenges, camaraderie, and believe it or not, some of the hum drum of taking care of facilities. From fuel depot's, to airlines, to large Shopping Centers - they ALL had their unique and varied peculiarities !! And you get to meet some of the nicest people !!

“Yep that’s what I’ll do. I will farm”. Had me cracking up brother. Love the sense of humor.😂

[@assassinlexx1993]

That rain should get the corn started. Your son is doing a great job.

[@paulcopeland9035]

I think I speak for long time viewers, in that we seem to be cheated by the perfect operation of the planter! In years past, there was always the chance of massive drama around every bend!! Dang you Derre! Zach is now good old 'calm Zach' just keeping track of the rain. ...... The reality is, it is great to see expensive equipment operating efficiently and smoothly as expected. On to the beans!!

[@raymondo162]

oh i can't begin to tell you just how cheated i feel ................... ;-)

[@andrewharker3778]

He has also got rid of the anhydrous system that seemed to cause naught but stress.

[@charliemetcalf3231]

Congrats on finishing the corn planting. Hope the rest of the season goes this smooth. 🚜🚜🚜

[@aaronanderson4533]

Zack you’re up there near my Grandpa Mark Cihlar. God bless Minnesota farmers, from Georgia

[@peter-fuppe-fuchs]

My Grandpa (born 1898) was a farmer, he always tells me stories about he's farming life, hov they plow the fields, how they harrow them, with just horses, how they planting seeds by hand (throwing them out) and how they harvest the crops using a scythe.... N seeing your equipment now, 2023..... Wow

[@tonnyplaysgames220dailygam5]

Fantastic Job Johnson’s It sure seems like it was much better than last season. Thank you for all the hard work

[@partians]

Hey Zack, nice of you to control the weather to add a bit of drama to the video, nice going!

[@davidl.miller8168]

Great video, I know has to be a good feeling to have all the corn in the ground. Nice to see Nate back in the game at 100% after his series of overhauls between the knees and the wrist! LOL

[@paxbonum4683]

Have a great time at the Grand Re-Opening of the shooting range. Wishing you all and those working with you all the best with this venture. God bless.

[@saltylegion6288]

Heck yeah! Planting and harvest are my favorite parts if the year!

[@wildturkey5838]

Back in the '60's when I was farming in Texas Panhandle with my dad our seed corn came in several "sizes/shapes" -- round, flat, etc. and we had to change the seed plates in our old John Deere 70 planters. I never did get the hang of the chain stitch release string.

[@charleslynch7274]

Congrats on getting corn done and seems like the planter is working great for you this year

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Busy busy time trying to finish your corn planting in between the rains. You got the corn done for 2023!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Now switch the planter over for soybeans and on to soybean planting. Go get em!!!! Having Onyx for that extra hand is good. Lots of farm kids help at planting and harvest time versus school time. Too muddy to get the dully out of the field. Should be able to move it in a couple of days. Little amount of rain makes a difference in a field. Guess that is it for now. Take care and be safe. Thanks for everything Zach and Dad and Onyx. Did we lose Jim!!!! Bye. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

[@r3b3lxxleader]

We've gotten about 2 inches of rain on our farm this week, but thankfully we haven't started planting yet so it didn't stop us at all, we plan on putting some milo in the ground this year.

[@died4us590]

I have been praying for all you farmer's, last year was bad for a lot of you guy's, especially those of you who had the storm damage. I like seeing onyx out there, and am really interested in seeing him drive that new rig for your other channel. I'm a generation older than you millenials, but as a kid i learned to drive while helping out on my grandpa's farm, by the time i was able to get my driving permit at 15 i already had several year's experience. Some people may not approve, but by the time onyx is ready to drive on the road with his license, he will be a much better driver than other kid's who will just be learning for the first time. You do a good job with him, because he will call you if he thinks there might be trouble where he's been driving the tractor, but drives like heck out on the track, and does well. Y'all are doing some good work raising your kid's. G-d bless.

Thanks for the Video Zach nice to see the planter working as it should!!👍👍

[@ericjones7931]

Hey Zach, I've seen ALOT of your videos going back and watching 3+ years worth to get a sense of farming, since my family has 400 acres in IL. But I, nor anyone in my family farms it, or has any expirence farming, but it does get farmed. Could you make a video on what it takes to be a land owner and what to look for in a share-cropper or land renter or what it takes to make a solid profit on a farm? Thanks!

[@DonWelter]

Good to see corn planting done. Hope bean planting goes well.

[@Dermot501]

2023 corn all planted in no time 🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽Great job Zach 👍

Great to see the planter performing this season, good luck with the beans.

Final day of planting corn? I feel like you just started. I remember the 471~ acre day from last year!

[@marknicholson2718]

Where are you located

[@drtaru]

I think theyre planting less and less corn each year.

[@rickthompson4315]

Please keep Sharing...

[@kevinsavard5998]

So much for getting the new structure dry. Wow 😯 instant mud pie special!

[@arthenry498]

Interesting, the "farmer's network" reporting the progress of the rain across the state!! More accurate than radar. Good timing on that rain too. The corn must have liked that.. I like seeing Onyx become a real member of the working men there. I think he is great. He must have some great leadership!!

[@leddielive]

Nothing better for any crop than a good rain an hour or two after planting, we can tell you're really happy as those droplets of life came tumbling down onto your fields, Hmmmm, most satisfying moisture of 2023. 😇🇬🇧

Here in Texas Panhandle, Planted corn on Tuesday. 3.5 inches of rain on Thursday. Complete washout 🤦🏼‍♂️

At the moment I'm treating cancer, but when I get better I want to go to the US to develop agricultural machinery. I study Mechanical Engineering, I think it's great that you have access to all this machinery that here in Brazil is IMPOSSIBLE for a farmer to have. Only big producers have.

[@duggydo]

The corn in most fields down south here is a foot to 18 inches tall right now. If it keeps raining cats and dogs, it’s going to all be moldy though! 😂

[@pinwizz69]

Really nice that you had a good corn planting season. Areas of South Dakota not so much. Well, there was that nasty rain holdup with 80 acres left. But, next day it's in the ground and another corn planting season in the books. Cat Dog is like my cat I had Cheech. He actually did act like and think he was a dog. He would do every trick a dog would do no training on my part and didn't want anything to do with other cats but liked dogs as long as they didn't try to mess with him. He liked to use my nieghbors Golden Lab Barney for one huge pillow. They were best Buds. When I went to move from the Keys back to Miami he said no way Jose and ran away till days after I'd left so the neighbor adopted him.
