Good Enough For Government Work

Good Enough For Government Work- It wasn't really a government job but I bet the statement triggers some anti farm subsidy warriors in the comment section. #CornHarvest2022 #Triggered

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.

Your dad is the man, years of knowledge, cool as a cucumber not too much bothers him and Yet adapts to the new day of farming Your a lucky man to have a dad like you have.

[@craigborgardt7684]

Your dad is amazing....generations of farming experience, knowledge and wisdom and he clearly adapts to all of the modern wizardry so much better than most. What a team.

[@bevolson7619]

Love your dialogue.. you make it interesting.. I feel as if my Dad who has been deceased for many years and was a farmer who lived about 40 miles north of your farm is sitting by me watching.. thanks for sharing your lives with the rest of the world…. We love you all! Your Dad is smart to listen for noises.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Family never leave they just go AWOL.😢

[@danwhipps2641]

I have to add to your comment I grew up farming with my grandpa just south of parkers prairie a bit I wish he was sitting next to me as well but he'd rather be watching his soap opera than playing with the darn phone but if it wasn't for him me and my brother wouldn't be trying to farm and teach the next generation the lessons we learned...

[@andythesmokeman7784]

It’s a scam in here

[@andythesmokeman7784]

It’s not real yter

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Such a great sight to see your dad go down those steps with such ease.

[@arthenry498]

Oooohh, that feeling. WHAT was that noise?? Did I actually hear it?? Did I imagine it?? Is it nothing?? Is the combine about to blow up or catch fire?? Do I keep going or should I have stopped an hour ago?? THAT causes tension inside. And that weather pattern there! That was wild! The edge of that cloud was right there. Great video Zack. I always enjoy coming along with you guys and seeing the inner workings of your place. And Becky ALWAYS makes it a coherent and wonderful presentation. THANK YOU Becky!! I do get a lot of joy here. Thanks to all of you.

[@Thomas-lq1jw]

Yep, know that feeling as a trucker 😅

[@JoshJackson13]

Great 👌 edits.

[@daviscee]

When your day sucked but you see that Millennial Farmer posted a video 8 minutes ago so it makes it better.

[@explorationtoday2732]

I know this daily upload is so awesome! I can't wait for another video!

[@djwheels66]

I feel the same! I know we may not be fighting the same battles, but I agree that when the day’s war is done and I see a video from Millennial Farmer, it improves everything and helps me relax. Well done, Zach!!

[@adamsherm29]

I come when I have had a "meh" day in hopes Zach is messing with the strip tiller and It messes up. Lol. Makes my day seem just a bit nicer

[@thedude4810]

Can confirm, I enjoy the hell outta these videos.

[@davidbrandt3072]

Those points wouldn’t last a day up in the one we weld on hard caps before we even put them on

[@mikelangelo2020]

13:41 Ernest reference made my day. I remember watching those as a kid. RIP Jim Varney.

[@stanbrow]

My experience supports your theory about unusual noises being precursors to failures.

[@kolle4543]

I think we all need to sit back and appreciate the amount of effort that goes in to making these videos, both from Zach and from Becky. Farming itself is hard enough, but taking your time to film all these dmall clips and then editing them together in this short amount of time while doing your main job asw is just phenomenal. Keep up the great work!

[@briandungan515]

Such a good rapport you have with your pops and he's always so chilled.

[@billroberts3864]

Zach, the interactions you have with your Dad are heartwarming. You both listen to each other and make suggestions rather one of you being dominate so that is one reason I love this channel. Blessings to you all...

[@mickperry2712]

You are so blessed to be able to work with your Dad. He is a legend.

[@hhtrichard]

"Good enough for Government work" stood the test of time throughout my military career, love your dialogue 😍

[@mikemerrill175]

Much more pc than the “good enough for the girls we go with” I used to hear 😊

[@chrispileski6640]

That's where I learned it too.

[@flipflop4364]

Your father is the nicest person. It’s seems as nothing ever bothers him. Hats off to your pops if they had a father of the year award I’d definitely vote for him. Fathers these days don’t have the patience as he has. Wow everyone take notes on how to be the best father in the world!!!!!!

[@PaulvanNieuwenhuyzen]

They are both very respectfull with eachother, that's very clear and nice to see, compliments!

[@Jackson183]

I always think the same. Nothing seems to faze him. The hole crew just crack on 😊

[@jockojohn3294]

I didn't realize how addicted I've become to your videos. Farming is a lot different than I thought it would be and actually is. I love working with all kinds of machinery, growing things, and not having a regular schedule, and just doing what need to be done. If my situation was different growing up, I could definitely see me doing this kind of work. You do a heck of a job with your videos. :)

[@bsuqueren]

I need more content with your dad. He seems like such a calm and genuine person. I'm happy to see he's warming up to the camera. Tell him he has fans!!! I'd love to know what he says!!!

[@shanecunningham2437]

listen to the family history with him it's awesome

[@johnnyjoejimbob]

You have no idea how chill Dad is. He is the definition and a Great teacher.

[@martinmiller3313]

I feel for you with the family photos. One of the neighboring farmers has a daughter who lives in Florida and she scheduled her wedding in the middle of corn harvest. Needless to say he wasn't too happy about having to leave mid-harvest to attend, but family is more important than acreage.

[@dennisglennn50]

I'm not a farmer , I'm a truck driver. I enjoy watching your videos, there is so much more to farming then one would guess. Thank you for what you do.

[@paxbonum4683]

I had to smile with you and your dad listening to the combine, "hear that rattle?". Reminded me of conversations in C-17 aircraft. The pilot would say, "what's that noise?" All I could hear was the sound of 4 jets and an APU running. How in the world could you hear a noise over that racket. But over time sure enough you could hear things that didn't sound right. If you hear it, check it just like you said. Good memories. God bless.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Why run all 4 and the APU at the same time. On C-5s we hear crazy noises.constantly. :)

[@josephbasanta]

If Anna has waited this long she should get a ride in all the tractors. The Welker's dog gets to ride in the tractors and combines.

[@Tinytraveler]

17000, was what I remember reading when I sub'ed to this channel. Nearly a million now? I couldn't be happier for you guys! Always wishing you and your family the best. ♥

[@markreetz1001]

Videos have been great lately (they are never less than good) with all the harvest and fall tillage. It really seems that things are coming together this fall. I also say "good enough for government work." And I work for the government, so I ought to know! Your Dad and Jim are really great on the videos. And a shout out to Nate2.0. And the fact you were able to get away to get the family pictures means things are going well.

[@Felixdirtbikes]

❤ I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@wilbertvandenhengel9100]

Becky..... the editing is getting better and better. Unbelievable that you guys put out quality content in such a high pace. I love your channel.

[@jigskibler3976]

Your temperament ( or possibly editing) is something to admire🎉 The responsibilities you give your boy is impressive! Love tuning in daily!

[@thaimcfly]

We just love your dad - he´s the nicest person you can work with. You must be proud🙏🏽

[@ChristopherHelgerson]

I was running a load up to Grand Forks when this happened >>October 13th, 4:30pm, I 94, Brandon MN, it is snowing... way too soon.

[@kendallgoldschmidt9515]

God bless, Johnson’s. Hope everything with insurance and the barn and bin are going well!

[@alexkalkbrenner521]

Greatest part of the day... Watching A New Millennial Farmer Harvest Video. Best videos on KZbin hands downs. Great Content Zach!

[@JWilliams97]

We bought a new C12F last year and heard a plastic-y "grinding" noise. We noticed that right side PTO shield rattling as well and it would slowly turn while the head was running. Eventually that plastic tube shield broke in 2 places and then the 3 pieces would grind together. They checked the shaft to see if it was bent slightly but said no. They ended up warrantying the right side shaft and shield. I still noticed the shield rotating some this year, but it never broke. I did notice corn shucks getting wedged between the tube shield and back of head a couple times and dug them out to keep them from pushing on the shield. The noise last year was definitely unsettling at first but was a relief to find it was just the shield rubbing

[@willieperratt2398]

Interview Jim when things quiet down, I think it would be great to find out more about him

[@Ada-zn3pw]

Crazy how much Onyx and your dad resemble each other. Even their mannerisms and movements look similar. Love the channel.

[@edcrego396]

I noticed that to there a great family

[@joegotz1971]

At 10:53 my guess is a bearing is going out. I could be wrong. I kept going until it got worse or it broke. It is amazing that any combine operator can hear a strange noise.

[@billjoat]

When you get to a million subscribers, Anna needs more than several rides in as many tractors as she would like.

[@MillennialFarmer]

She isn't going to actually like it!! 🤣 carrying her up the steps will be hilarious

[@SirGranular]

You could have an audible conversation next to the dryer!! What a difference. Farming is clearly a lot of hard work but you do get to 'play' with some cool kit.

[@rossdimond]

Wow Becky is horsing through these videos major props to both of you during harvest time.. think missus mfer definitely deserves a nice break away once harvest is done

[@garryhale9824]

More videos - More videos - keepum coming. How does a farmer from non computer days adapt to all the technology without someone like you Zack? I agree with all the positive comments below and love the rapport with the animals as well as the humans (especially Dad!)

[@hardies1]

It looked like the Semi Truck that was parked by the bins when you went to check on the bearing replacement had a Right Front Headlight not working. Also, a saying my Grandpa used to always use was "It's good enough for who it's for".

[@asmrhead1560]

A knife smith in the area may be interested in those used up points. I wonder what steel alloy they're made of...

[@kevincollins8014]

The videos are always great Zach and thank you Becky for all your hard work behind the scenes editing and uploading them.

[@mattanderson344]

A farming outfit near where I live has two of the J and M Patriotic carts. They look really sharp.

[@briangraham540]

Love the way you treat your dog family ! ( from Canada )

[@norlag]

looked like a headlight out on that truck as well as the bearing in the pit

[@theclevercraftsman]

Hey Zach, we have a new corn head too, a 2022 C8R. It was noisy on the drive end like yours. Turned out that the collar that held the sprocket in place that drives the auger was omitted from the factory, that caused the chain to rub the framework making a racket. After they replaced the collar, sprockets, and chain it was still noisier than it should have been so they replaced the chain on the end that runs in oil. Now it sounds good. Might look into that

[@MilePost106]

I miss being around farm equipment and the grain elevators. I hauled grain for quite a while and loved it, was long grueling hours during harvest, never missed a beat.

[@michealthiel1690]

The innuendoes on the strip tiller were amazing.

[@robertpappa5129]

When chisel plows where the common tillage tool when i was younger (20 years ago at least) We just fired up the cutting torch and cut all the old bolts.

[@DuhartCreek]

Thanks for feeding my family, keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.

[@willyumsac7585]

Love the push of videos lately … great work putting in the work 👍

[@wallyman292]

Shame on Zach! He forgot to cut the ties off his hoodie, and was working around a running combine with a guard opened up!

[@Locates360]

Thanks Becky and all the boys for your hard work. Would love to see more "KZbin shorts" please. The pup wants a ride in the combine for sure. SUBSCRIBED on two accounts lol...

[@kevwin3429]

We had to replace the shields on our corn head because they raddled so load. Used heavy plastic conduit and painted it green

[@agaholics]

We love how realistic your videos are in portraying agriculture. Keep up the great work!!

[@JRJapp]

Love the videos up in your part of the world from Texas. Daughter playing in a tournament at the super rink this weekend

[@richardwarner963]

Kudos to Zack and "the editor" who make the time to put out extra content during the busiest season of their year. It's tedious and time consuming, and the least we could do in return is to make sure poor Anna gets to ride a tractor.

[@adamlagred5140]

Thanks for the great local videos Zach! I grew up hunting my family land by Swift Falls. Your videos are the only ones that I look forward to watching on all of the internet. Thanks again!

[@MattyMal]

Your videos are so entertaining and funny Zach! Coolest farmer of all time

[@billireland2029]

Thanks for reminding me to get Christmas photos done! 😁

[@aaronhawkins9006]

The first thought I had when you were checking out the combine was "no not the hoodie strings!!!!"

[@qrplife]

I love the high frequency video releases during harvest time.

[@TheGeorunner]

We got our first snow yesterday and we just started corn...good times.

[@jordanroberts1519]

6:57 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, ZACH!!!

[@electriceye3942]

gotta love the mystery noises and vibrations of a combine!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

We love your constant humor. Great video

[@Gazzasore]

Weld 2 Old points together to make one, use them as spares

[@ninus17]

I died a little inside when he stood next to the exposed chain and rotating pto shield on the header, because he still had strings on his hoodie 😬

[@rogerfrank1256]

That black plastic tube on my bean header carries into the cab gets my attention quite a bit

[@davidschollenberger6871]

I run into the same problem changing chisel points not running both combines this yr hope u get done before to much snow

[@mathbrown9099]

Zach, I’ve been watching since the early days but I cannot remember this gentleman. Perhaps you could do a “Introducing the staff” video. I love the channel! C’mon 1M!

[@tucobenedicto109]

I think this year with drier corn and the new setup you are making your drier more efficient, as the previous years was very wet and you had the slow auger with the loud air blower! Can you switch dry bin while the dryer is outputing? Or you have to stop it then switch! Smart to have a bolt supply right in the shop. And they refill periodically without you calling.

[@therealRustyShackleford]

Those hoodie strings were making me nervous when you were checking on the header noise! 😬

[@Im2qwik]

I think it's amazing how many differnt hoodies and sweat/t shirts your Dad has :)

[@typhoonjenkins8330]

Thanks Zach, enjoyed this one a lot. I hope you get to a million, I'm feeling bad for Puppy Anna. :)

[@gregoryh4601]

Zach. Have you try any Chain Lube on the all the Chain that is on The Big Green? Try a Dri lube from a Bicycle Shop that good for mud/ wet weather

[@WBR965]

You should build splash boxes to throw under your hopper bottoms when dumping. You will be able to open your hoppers almost all the way and much less sweeping. We have the same pits. We can weigh dump and weigh in 5 minutes

[@LoefflerFarms]

That little shield on the head, chatters on our grain head as well and I can definitely hear it in the cab. It took a long time to figure out what it was.

[@karlmyers9910]

I enjoy watching. i am a retired farmer myself. I farmed 60 years before retiring in 2017. i do miss it some. Be safe and God Bless.

[@brad4841]

Let's share and get these folks to 1M subs. I gotta see the dog in the tractor.

[@williamfreeh1198]

i was an aircraft hydraulics mechanic in the navy air core. we used to say good enough for government work when we had a bird in the hanger for repairs or whatever. our shop chief would just about blow a gasket when he heard it. of course it was a joke because we took seriously what we did because lives were at stake. he was a good man but he never learned that we were just jerking his chain lol.

[@dmills3192]

That’s not Jim, just the neighbor trying to be as cool as Jim.. 😂❤

[@jamiedayton1598]

Great job Becky for pumping this harvest videos out!

[@gregoryh4601]

Zach. Which one Has More Room for Her? Don’t forget her Wingdog has to keep a Eye on Her Six tooo. 👍🏻 Best KZbin Farmer out there. Any chance getting more Rent Ground ?

[@daynelaughman8437]

Those dogs are Beavis and Butthead make me chuckle LOL

[@Galactis1]

Being in northern Ohio, I love fall but, man does it get dark at 430 in the winter. Ugh.

[@coreydavid9497]

One more thing I like about harvest, all of the videos!

[@angelina20161]

I'm glad to see things are starting to go well on the farm!! Good luck guys and thanks for putting out great videos.

[@briantollberg7641]

This is just a suggestion what I always did with plow bolts when they would spin I would take the welder and weld the bolt to the shovel so then you could spin the nut right off or break it either or

[@waterskiingfool]

Gotta tell Dad just turn the radio up when he hears a noise. Nice Ernest impression

[@jeffmcdaniel5826]

It's crazy how warm those points get in dry ground after a few passes

[@tylerkeiser945]

The plier handles to hold the bolt head, dude that's genius!

[@evilhunter64]

when mama wants family photos she gets family photos. Keep on the great videos

[@danratcliff9935]

The term "Good enough for government work" refers to doing work for yourself (US) usually on company time using company materials.

[@vanrensburgfamilyfarms9068]

We run the same chisel plow and we have had the same problems when changing the points. Just put in a shorter bolt and the problems go away😃👍🏻

[@bobrat]

Thanks for using DEF my lungs are so shot. I for one appreciate it.

[@Black9924v]

the neighbors got bigger wheels on his tractor. tryna keep up with us kids and our trucks😂😂

[@andyconnell7211]

What does the lightbar/indication on the end of your grain cart auger tell you? I haven't been able to figure out its purpose. Love the videos!

[@briangunner8355]

Paint a magnet hunter orange and place it on the bin where grain is,,,, see it from the ground

[@bdc3141]

That's one thing I've also figured out. After almost 7 years and 10,000 hours, I know exactly what my rig at work should sound like. If I hear anything even a little different it's time to stop and check things over.

[@melindaburch4318]

My father who was born in 1895 used to say the same thing, “It’s good enough for government work.” Funny thing is, he used to do A LOT of government work in his machine shop.

[@williamriley2528]

I have the same damn problem, but mine is getting my my sockets off my new 1,200 ft lb impact...!

[@lanicotton8507]

My dad used to use the line about government work when he fixed things. 😅
