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.

[@morgansword]

Mr Millennial, I are a old logger so call me a cavetime adviser: Take something that can get down in that soft spot a good three minimum feet, It would be better if it were a good five or so till you figure out how this works... stack logs from your forest there, like the one that has little value as it will here. Build a cord wood bed across the muddy spot an past a bit. Then fully bury with your rock mud making sure that the cord wood is totally covered. What happens is above ground and not touching dirt, it dries and hardens or in the ground totally buried it will stay sound for years but if it gets air, then it will rot in a season. It is the same as using mats to move equipment across the mud / muskeg here and lasts for many years as in like some here are twenty to thirty years old and we are driving various rigs across it for miles as it just is ice deep down an our warm summers is bringing the frost out of the ground. I know it is embarrassing to have rotten corn, bean or otherwise laying around the food bins but it happens. I think if it drys enough then you can get to it and shovel it into a area that the skidsteer can load it up and your can use it for composting the soil. I don't know if it would try to seed the area or not but I am confident a farmer can figure it out. Those logs should do the trick but try to get a couple layers on the spot needing covered

Can you explain the issues with the 2019 crop in the storage bins? City boy doesn’t understand...........Thanks for such a cool channel and videos!

[@mattgraf676]

The corn/beans when wet (moist) tend to stick to each other and while filling a bin can form air pockets that stay there tell they get disturbed. Person climbing on them

[@mattgraf676]

Can also happen with dryer corn beans

[@MillennialFarmer]

Poor quality grain caused by poor growing conditions (weather) means the crop doesn't store as well and have tendency to rot in spots, causing crusting, air gaps, and more reasons to need to enter bins. Just a deadly combination that has claimed many lives lately

My dad is always saying something he tells me to share with others so when the time comes we are all prepared for the end game. Im reaching out to you regarding a notion that my dad talks about. What do you think if this Nation were to Neighbor up with eachother & dishonor all money and turned to love & kindness to pay it forward? Im going to start reaching out to all farmers regarding this notion so we can all be ready from the wrong doers in control of this government who are threatening our freedoms & rigjts each day. I hope & pray that you could share this notion with each & every farmer you know regarding, paying it forward with love and kindness insted of using money. If this nation would turn to kindness to pay it forward, then all the simple essentials would become free! Like free food, free housing, free healthcare, free travel without borders & free from crime because money wouldn't be the root to all evil anymore! And much much more if we all were to neighbor up with eachother! Well with that said i leave you with 💗 kindness & blessings for you and everyone around in good times and in bad times 🙋

[@nikam6349]

@stevemincer i dont know if you heard yet but the wrong doers in control of this Goverment are telling farmers to stop producing and stop farming as well. The end game agenda is about to roll out soon and that will be the end to our freedoms & rights as we know it. Its time to neighbor up and pay it forward with KINDNESS!!! We need to neighbor up our surrounding communities and password on so we cansupport each other and be ready for what's to come. Aslo do not use violence, because thats what thay want us to do so that fives them probable cause to harm us and brand us domestic terrorists. Plz start to neighbor up and pass the word on to all because our rights & freedoms depends on everyone neighboreing up wirh eachother. And BEWARE of infiltrators that will create us from neighboring up and causing violence that will keep people from neighboring up with eachother. Keep in mind that the nation has been infiltrated by these vary same people who want to take our freedoms away and set their wicked agendas upon this nation.
