Day 3 in California- Zach and Randy do America with Trevor Bales. What fun would it be if we didn't get into any trouble. It turns out the US Air Force Base takes trespassing pretty seriously. Our saga continues at fourth-generation family owned Johnston Farms, nestled in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, near the base of the Tehachapi mountains. Johnston's farm potatoes, bell peppers and a variety of citrus including oranges. We found their green house and citrus packing house to be incredibly fascinating.

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.

Amazing how diverse and complicated American agriculture is. It’s not just corn and combines. Thanks for show casing all the different aspects.

Thanks to Simply Safe and Johnston Farms for an awesome tour. Had no idea so much went into making citrus or how seedless fruits are made.

[@robertwomack9830]

Really glad you guys are taking this tour and showcasing different types of agriculture. Most Americans have no idea what it takes to put food on their plates. Maybe one day you guys will come to South Carolina and the Southeast.

[@grega-kendalheightsdecorwo9511]

All I have is WOW... this video was so informative! Living in Southern Ontario... did not know about citrus trees and the grafting the two trees together! Very cool

[@SubaruLove]

You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave, the sketchy Hotel California. Great episode. The grafting of fruit trees blew my mind too.

[@chadzomek2948]

Great video as always. Becky sitting there with a bat, deadpanning about her husband being gone AGAIN was hilarious. You guys do a nice job of coming up with creative ways to advertise for Simply Safe. Loved the not so subtle dig at Zack for leaving the installation to his wife.

[@floydjustice5445]

I loved this VLOG it was so interesting finding out how seedless fruit is propagated. As always I enjoyed the humor that you, Randy, and guests provide.

Thank you. The rest of your antics weren't too bad either. Also I really enjoyed the learning moments. That tour was pretty interesting to me. Thank you again and stay safe and outta jail goldangit.

[@722garage9]

One of the best videos you’ve ever made. So interesting and mind blown by Randy’s beautiful storytelling, aided by his wonderful family. You should find a way of bringing him up to see you on your farm to show him how you ‘put corn seed in the ground’. Great to see a group of farmers swapping stories and showing us how diverse agriculture is. Awesome! Can’t wait for the next one

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Surprise! Roses are grafted too! Root stocks selected for soil types, drought, cold and pest resistance, all sorts of traits. Thanks for all the great info on these. I love these tours!

[@Volfandt]

Absolutely amazing growing strategy. Grafting a bud onto a totally different species of plant and together they grow an edible fruit. Color me amazed and impressed. Who'd of thunk it....

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video on the farm trip. It was interesting and enjoyable and extremely interesting. First. Congratulations Becky. The commercial you did was absolutely wonderful. You did great. Good product also. Thanks for doing that Becky. Also sincere thanks to you for all of your editing of these videos from the farm trip. They are great. Second. Loved Randy explaining how our form works. Put it in the ground and we have corn. Not all of this fancy steps to get the fruits and stuff. Good one Randy. Third. This visit to the orange plant was extremely interesting if I dare say so. Wow. Would never have guessed that much was involved. The automation in these plants is great. They run a lot of oranges thru there. Totally enjoyed the tour of the Orange plant and associated places. The explanation of implanting the trees blew me away. Never knew that. Wow. How interesting. The gentleman that showed you around and explained this cross breeding of the trees did a great job of explaining the process. How interesting. Never knew that before. Many thanks for the tour there. Edwards Air Force base. Been there several times for conferences during my Air Force career. That base does a lot of classified testing of aircraft so that is why they gave you no entry. If had known you were going by there, could have arranged a tour of the main base but not allowed in the aircraft testing areas. Super base and a lot of interesting aircraft tests there. The videos on your farm trip are extremely interesting and enjoyable. This has been just great. Appreciate you taking us along and all the filming. Great trip guys and oh yes Treavor also. What is this with Treavor ‘s motel. ??? Why not stay with you all. Oh well each to their own. I will be quiet now. Great trip. Great tours and informative plants. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video on the trip. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thanks Steve! Trevor ended up with his own hotel because he was a last minute edition and couldn't get a room in our hotel. It wasn't as bad as we made it seem 🤣

[@GlobalistJuice]

I understand what you're saying about classified work on military installations, still, without possession of the federally approved variety of credentials (or entry with someone with credentials), it doesn't matter if the installation participates in "classified testing" or not, every single American military installation on the planet won't let you put so much as your big-toe past their boundary without sanctioned approval plus a credentialed escort, or approved credentials of your own. And even if you're hanging around outside of entry/on the perimeter, they're watching and you should expect someone's approach to question your presence. Those Area 51 enthusiasts always make me laugh, when they're out there snapping pictures and lurking around the perimeter, then get all riled-up when someone comes out to question their presence, saying "see we told you they're hiding shit!!!" haha ha Air Shows and other pre-planned public events with limited/structured access, are very different from appearing at the gate, of course.

Sure is interesting what all goes into the grafting of the trees to get the varieties wanted, and the grading and packaging of the fruit is amazing. One has to appreciate all of the difference that take place in growing the different crops that are produced, and how different than beans and corn. Great video.

[@simplegreen6596]

I didn't really know enough about grafting either. I have a small 30 tree orchard here in Texas. I found JSacadura's channel and learned all i needed to know. Grafting is also where those "super trees" you see in seed magazines sometimes that have like 5 fruits on a single tree. Same thing.
