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 cool watching a bigger farm than us.we have a 4 row corn head .we are doing corn right now because we fill our silo with hi moishcher corn. We live in Minnesota too on a 5th generation dairy farm. And our combin is a John Deere.we have 6 tractors 3 new Holland's and 3 Oliver's .

[@jmurphy1973]

I've heard that Arms character gets fired a lot. Cant seem to keep a job, even in Minnesota

[@s.pursell8901]

Bring him back Zack. That Millennial isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Chase him down.

[@atmreview4713]

You are awesome, you are paying attention to the video.

[@jameswoenker2659]

A beautiful thing to see your father and Son working together.

[@saltycycling]

Wow, last time I was this early Jim wasn't in the ditch yet!

[@kcgibbs]

10:30 “Holy cow, one of the neighbors is going.” That is always a classic. I know some respected farmers and one day, early in the morning they just moved equipment to be ready. That afternoon everyone nearby was running. It was obviously too early.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Awesome intro! It would be great to hear more farm stories from your dad, thanks for the vid!

[@jaketrottman7375]

I didnt know you were a fan of the mn millennial farmer! I'm a huge fan of yours

[@alanwilcox2008]

Hey Zach: My comments are usually sarcastic and critical. I just want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to you and Becky for putting together videos when you are busy and a little stressed by weather, equipment problems, markets etc. etc. We miss the farm and look forward to watching you and real farm life; Even though you could use a shave😎 Captain Al from Tampa

I just knew Leg Arms would show up in MN. Can't wait til he comes back. Green won't hurt him. Glad your finally able to start harvest. Looking forward to the coming videos. Thanks for keeping us along on the farm!

[@johnday7362]

I've got my fingers crossed hoping the rain passes by without a drop hitting the ground. Good luck!

[@AdrianPerez-lv7hj]

What a Great Opening. Loved it !!!! We now know where LegArms has been.

[@philleroux2333]

Go go go time for harvest! 👍 We done with the beans, lime stone all spread waiting for the corn 🌽 😉

[@woolybuck6852]

Gotta love starting up with brand new equipment. It never works the same in the field as it did in the shop. Happy Harvesting. Cheers....

[@dalewalker2315]

Happy to see you've finally started! The wait is always, stressful!

[@jonathancoker5164]

Hey Zach! I want to say you’ve really inspired me to start growing my own crops and given me a lot of advice with your videos. Keep up the hard work!

[@2414ah]

I sure your enjoy when your dad is in the videos. It just has to be awesome working side by side with him. Take care!

[@dklarsen1705]

Glad the weather is finally helping you guys a bit

[@bonniee5106]

Glad you finally got started with the beans,great video

[@queticomoe4495]

I was just hunting in your neck of the woods, Zack. You're wet, but nothing like what I saw north of you! And thanks for helping me understand harvest a bit better! I was able to share a ton w my hunting partners and make it sound like I knew what I was talking about! LOL!!

[@coffee8866]

Be safe! Enjoy the harvest.

[@68shiloh]

You are blessed with a good father.

[@CHISEMAL]

Good luck with everything - look’ in good!

0:25 The Perfect introduction to Leg Arms and the idea of operating a green combine !!!

[@davemiller3027]

Glad your up and running. With all the new equipment I bet your just chomping it to bits with the year you’ve had. Good luck with everything.

[@aaronstaley6056]

Good luck zach it was a very late wet fall for the pacific north west i am from eastern washington state it took a long time to get our garbanzo beans cut this fall i know what you are going through, hope you guys have a good rest of your harvest. 🤘

[@boomd1791]

I’m not a farmer. I started watching Cole the cornstar then found your channel. I enjoy watching both your channels mainly because I appreciate hard work. I am fond of what you do for a living and you should be proud of what you do. It’s not easy work but it is needed work. Great stuff keep it up.

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Can’t wait for more harvesting the beginning had me rollin😂

[@swalther10]

Finally… been waiting on this

[@buddhaboy10]

Good to see you guys harvesting.

[@michaelcook768]

After I asked about your Dad..poof, there he is! Always good to see Pop in multi generational farms. A friend of mine in VA, who has a speed, transmission, and gun shop, has a wife that loves to hunt. Her dad(who recently passed) had a 1000+acre farm. She used to work for the Federal Reserve..she would park her Volvo, take his Ford 4x4, and take a week of vacation...and get her limit. Her venison barbecue was delicious. Again, glad to see your Dad!

[@robertrichter1249]

Retired Chicago FF. Never farmed but find farming very interesting. Especially your You Tube videos.

[@michaelross3196]

While I do not farm I love watching your videos. I work in the IT industry as a network engineer and love watching all the different technology you all are using to get better yields out of your fields. Hopefully the Mooiiiisture dries up so you all can get back to doing what you love. Take care from a fan in Ohio.

[@Dew420.69]

Can't wait for more harvest vids I love them.

[@kurtzbradley]

Leg Arms LOL...u guys got me, never saw that coming!!!

[@anthonybanda8192]

we run a air reel system on our heads. we love them they work great. i harvested 150 acres today. we have some custom harvesting contracts for about 1500 acres now for us to do it will take us about 4 days with both of our combines and 2 semis and our case 340 magnum on grain cart. that tractor is our only non green machine it was a cheaper purchase because it was used it cost a lot less than an 8r johndeere.

[@markreetz1001]

Congrats on getting started on harvest! Good luck knocking out the bean harvest before the rain! You sure are a lot taller than Legarms. He seems to have an aversion to green. Well, Nick misses him back in Montana.

[@keithwestbrooks8629]

Your Dad is a great guy. Bet he has some stories to tell and lots of knowledge.

[@garyshell7925]

Finally I see the light at the end of auger! 💡

[@jamesashley3827]

Glad see you get the bugs out and get going

[@jaytucker8512]

That air system made that combine an absolute beast

[@allene564]

I don't know who's idea it was to have LegArms visit, but iI couldn't stop laughing at him peeling out getting away! LOL!!

[@jeffburnham6611]

We're keeping an eye on the weather as well, seems like every 2 to 3 days its rained. Hope you can get some of your field in during this lull.

[@samrobertson7336]

Glad your able to harvest!!!!

[@jonlengel3341]

Now that’s a collaboration! Love it!

Farmin.... Fixin stuff... Fixin more stuff... racing the weather. Good luck on your harvest. This was a horribly moist year. And good luck on your hunt. Greetings from neighbor Wisconsin. :-)

[@brucejahnke1329]

Gotta get those problems ironed out early so you can hit it hard when they are ready to go. You got a nice setup Zach. Should be ready to knock those beans out when they are ready.

[@yellowboy1866]

Well good luck with the harvest, I hope everything goes well.

[@TheFarmingLife]

Beginning of the video is just absolutely awesome. Hope you guys have a great Friday evening keep up the excellent videos

Nice to see your Dad in a vid again. Boy, that Mr. Arms fella sure left in a hurry!! Lol

Never hurts to make sure everything is ready to go. Now you can harvest and hopefully get a majority of things done before the rain.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video good luck harvesting

[@Rhyno430]

When we had those air reels that was always a problem, too heavy to raise the reel, had to pull the reel back to raise it up.

[@raincoast2396]

The bit with Scott was too funny! Here's to a good harvest. Stay safe.

[@MethanolWarrior712]

Watching you while farming soybeans in southern Minnesota. We're on our last field before we switch to corn. Good luck up there!!
