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.

Great to see your Dad back on the job thankyou for your efforts in editing and producing quality videos keep it up!

What I found on the farm and on the road to solve this issue is by going to the farm store and buy a few bags of granite chicken grit. It’s so much better than sand because it’s odd shaped and will not just roll under the tires like sand. It’s amazing on ice for walking and driving.

[@mikes21348]

You need a set of chains for your snow tractor. It makes all the difference in snow and ice.

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

That huge heavy anchor of a grain cart needs to have auxiliary hydraulic motors powered off the tractor to drive those tracks....in emergencies.

[@mikes21348]

@@JohnSmith-yv6eq that’s a pretty good idea. I wonder if such an option exists.

I remember years ago when fertilizer was somewhat affordable we had a similar situation and had the co op bring a spreader with potash to spread on the drive so we could move equipment around, it was the cheapest option then

[@notsoserious0944]

Epic. Looking forward to a million subs and Anna getting her ride.

[@zerthz_]

Recently found the channel, been watching backlog now aswell to get more content. Seeing the storm tearing down the shed and messing with some vehicles was really hard to watch eventhough I knew it all came out fine in the end. Hope this year proves to be better for y'all!

[@msloanofd196]

A nice pile of rock cinders that you could spread out would help with traction . Best part, No clean up necessary. It magically becomes “driveway material”

[@lynwessel2471]

They would make a racket going thru the snowblower. Hopefully don't hit any windows.

[@jtschwinghammer]

I can totally understand the getting stuck Delma, and have been there and done that living in very rural Northeast New York State, as we have big hills and mountains here. The farm life, no matter what type, keeps you close to home, especially in the winter months. Glad to see a new video, and would love a snowmobile ride video, with you and the kids. I am unable to do that now, because my 68;year old body is worn out! 😊😊😊😊

Here in the state of verdmont we put some things called ice chains on our trackteers Kuz it snows here every year. Thanks Zack and company

[@deadghost1964]

"state of verdmont"? His name is Zach, not Zack.

[@roberthakeman9822]

Zach when we were hauling corn to town there was always ice around the bins from the snow melting off the bin roofs and one time I was at the site and there wasn't cellphones back then so I ran a bushel or two on the ground and corn makes great traction I found out.

[@wildturkey5838]

I grew up on a wheat/milo farm. There were "elevators" (tall concrete silos) where we could store our grain until we sold it. They were spaced about every 7 miles and were sitting next to railroad tracks so we only had to haul the grain a few miles. If we ever got snow we'd sit it out until it melted or (more commonly) blew into the next county.

[@davidschollenberger6871]

Yes the snow does make it hard to do farm work so far we dodged the bullit an got rain this winter

[@smedlap8789]

I always wondered are the tracks on the grain cart powered at all or just wheels? Later in the video when you got stuck answered my question. Never mind 😁

[@joshwoodburn3828]

Tough driving on them there nasty Minnesota Mountains….. keep it between the silos. 😮. Maybe setting up a farm truck with a sander would be handy to have for the occasional lack of friction. Biden could get you a nice electric one cheap! Cheers!

[@tractorboy31]

Tire chains are very handy. I always chain my 520 and I just put 2k in rubber on my b and then it's going to my friends to get a new bore and matching pistons and minor other repairs to get it running again. It's pretty handy getting the grain hauled. Happy start of new year

[@vner]

That's why we use chains on the wheels here in winter wounderland Norway :)

[@MrCrazycook8]

Zach, how about giving us a ride on the new snowmobile?

[@davidjrlocilento3353]

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Hey Zach have you heard of tire chains for tractors they work wonders in the winter months

[@craiguglandrealty3705]

Love the videos, please keep 'em coming. Question: Would it help to have some gravel to spread around the icy spots for a bit of traction, or would it be pointless? Obviously you don't want salt on the equipment.

[@aschnaub1]

Time to go back to the old days and use snow chains for these tractors. Could even get some ice cleats on em.

Tire chains my boy. Michigan weather is the same bs.

[@davidsellars646]

The squirrels thank you for the beans. Hello from NOT sunny California.

[@guysonne423]

So how long does it take to load a truck with the leg ? And is the cart faster to load from ? Enjoy your videos.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Yes, typically. The cart can load a truck in just a couple minutes. With the 2 soybean bins it takes about 15 minutes through the leg right now. When we can run 3 bins with corn we can load a truck through the leg in about 7 minutes

[@brianhankes9633]

Tire chains work good! 😉

[@solorado]

Well, might as well chime in too. Snow blower is useless all but for maybe the driveway. Sell that get a set of chains and a box scraper. I have a 35hp Kioti and can stack show into 6ft tall piles with it. It will drag a large pile of snow with a clean line a fair way and you can make it take an aggressive bite if needed, then lift and reverse and push it up in a pile where you want it. With that wonderful plow you have on the front you could work in both directions, and in a tall gear smoking across the lot. Also maybe a sand spreader for the Moline. Captain armchair snow mover signing off. Thanks for the videos,

[@rogerfrank1256]

make sure stuck tractior uses locking differential don't ask how I know

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

If you tied a tractor to an immoveable object and locked every differential...in these ice conditions...would that make any difference? Think of that grain cart as an "immoveable object" when going uphill....

Ice needs. Sand for Grit.

[@asmrhead1560]

Yep, regarding 2 tracks on ice: low ground pressure is a bad thing, it means all you do is slip and slide.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Hi Zach, that snow blower looks like a beast, sorry for the winter misshapen, Glad to see you're hauling your fruit of labor and paying off! Awesome to see dad! The he'll with garbage duty....GO RIDING. BTW this video is loaded with scammers!!

[@pjp_renaissance]

Isn't that the way sometimes? You do something to save time and it ends up costing just as much if not more to deal with the complications of your shenanigans.

Maybe an locked dif would help :P

[@brianabramson5313]

[@Davefromwisconsin]

save some Corn and bean chaff to spread in the yard for traction next year.

[@johnwythe1409]

[@BruceBergman]

[@timothyfiebiger1105]

Can you air down the tractor tires for more traction or does that not help on big cleat tires?

[@seandavidson4033]

Need a old harrow to pull behind side by side to break uo that ice

[@nikopikkarainen409]

I wonder why aren't you using snow chains in your tractors during winter? Here in Finland it is really common to use snow chains on tractors.

[@ez1913]

When will they put hydro power to the grain cart tracks? That might be a handy addition in the mud too. Thanks for sharing.

[@lynwessel2471]

Elmers mfg has one model with hydro drive tracks.

[@dustinkeith7641]

thoughts on adding an overhead bin? I am sure yall have considered that, just wondering

[@computernerdtechman]

Zach, wouldn't adding some gravel or rock salt in front of the tires give that tractor some traction?

[@matthewuzulis5016]

I would think keeping one of the tract tractors available as a puller for these situations would be a good precaution to take. Puller as to use the yankem and not for the trailer. Just thinking the traction would be much better than the wheels in those conditions.

[@richardloewen7177]

2 latitude degrees south of the Northwest Territories, way up in Alberta, is some farmland homesteaded in the 1970s. I asked a farmer there about frost, re seeding and harvest. They can only get the seed in the ground by the beginning.of July. All crops are off by the end of August. All done in 2 months. Superfast growth because of the LONG sun in the summer. With VERY SHORT sun in the winter. They match and raise you Minnesota folk re early darkness.

So Zach. Why don’t you have some kind of camera on the grain leg ( pipe filling the trucks) that way you could pull extra footage from it filling the trucks.. like i get putting a GoPro up would just be all kinds of a pain but what about a video camera from like the ring doorbell system where it sends to your phone anyway
