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.

Checkins with randy is honestly one of the best touches you’ve put on the channel in a while

The song before check-ins with randy 😂😂😂😂

My Masterpiece!!

[@cytokinestorm4868]

Topping the charts, the new single from Millennial Farmer.

[@CGW116A]

Must add more Norwegian/Swedish Minnesotan accent, eh? Randy is definitely a "Sven." Think you need to record Randy saying "eh its Randy the Minnesoooota Master Pipe Layer" Could be a new intro option. 😂

[@BorisFett]

The "check-ins with Randy" intro song 12:23 had my wife asking what the hell was I watching.

[@MillennialFarmer]

I worked super hard on that!!!

[@Flightsimmovies]

Me too. She said "are you listen to kid song?"

[@ChrisTessmer]

Put zip ties on the hydraulic hoses to mark them. 1 zip tie = lever #1, 2 zip ties = lever #2 and so on. Put a black tie on the left hose and a white one on the right hose. Easy to remember that white is always on the right.

[@bluegrallis]

If you mark your hydraulic hoses in pairs, save the red tape to add to the hose you put on the right side of the outlet on the tractor. Use other colors to keep them in pairs, RED RIGHT. I did that years ago and save a lot of guessing or re-connecting.

[@berniewatts7598]

Easy way to know which hydraulic hose goes where. With the hoses hooked up correctly, take a file and file some small notches on one hose connector. Of course don't file any metal that goes into the connector! My connectors on my tractor are vertical. So the noticed hose always goes on top. Always hooked up correctly.

[@tykmusica]

I had no idea this is how people Farm, All I had was a harness and a mule. Wow you guys are amazing! You probably won't believe this but we did not use chemicals and engineered seeds, can you believe it we did not get government subsidies or bank loans. Anyhow you are an amazing farmer. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonathancranshaw985]

We have always used either old conveyor belts from a local quarry or rubber horse stall mats as dividers on our head. Just cut them out with a razor blade and bolt them on quick and cheap. Usually last a couple seasons

[@neildewald325]

I'm not a farmer but in my early years I worked for a man who raised 300 head of cattle for market. I started working for him at the age of 10 and worked for him until I was 20. I really do miss working on a farm.

[@drumstuff9556]

That check ins with Randy tune is boss. Whoever sang that should get a Grammy nod.

[@MillennialFarmer]

i completely agree

May the green be with you GO John Deere :) I'm a green blood myself for a long time

[@robertreznik9330]

I mark the left hose tips for the cart by marking wrench area with a grinder when I buy. the gate hose tip with a line with the hose two lines for the second. the auger, a line across the tip. and the spout with a cross on the left tip. It is simpler to do it than explain.

[@dananderson8254]

Red is for pickups!! Agreed

[@greg7262]

Put colored zip ties on each side of your quick disconnects so you always know where they go

[@teeceecooper2477]

That's how we do it as well. We put zip ties on the right, and it's the color of the scv (JD new style). If you don't have the different color scv covers (JD older style or other brands) we put the number of zip ties for the corresponding scv number. Makes future hook-up faster.

[@benpattinson1]

Ok, off the husk, genius. However, a point of order. With regard to “check ins with Randy” I now have “check ins with randy” cycling round and round in my head and I’m guessing it’s gonna be there all day. Jeeeezz, you guys!! Looking for the podcast now. Loving your work as always, great family, great friends, great team.

[@MillennialFarmer]

It's been stuck in my head for 2 days, its horrible!!

[@matthewoliver6879]

Like the videos! I see your cart has a clevis. ..you don't want to put the pin in a bind, so the hammer strap needs to be removed on the tractor side if you plan to keep it on that tractor. Also, when you put the 3 bolts back in after harvest make sure the threads are clean and no dirt or paint flakes under the hammerstrap support on the drawbar. (sounds super detailed, PM me and I'll tell you why)

[@chrisdiamond9418]

Adam Sandler's The Talking Goat is awesome! Kicking it old school.

[@rodneyward8357]

Oklahoma guy here. Used to be lots of peanuts grown here. Glad to see farmers still farming

[@Adam_Poirier]

I’m going to have the check-in’s with Randy jingle stuck in my head all day now😂

[@MillennialFarmer]

It happened to me all night last night!

[@Adam_Poirier]

Millennial Farmer You’re too funny Zach lol.. keep up the good work man. I hope harvest treats you guys good. We’re about halfway through corn silage here in Connecticut, and considering the spring and summer we had it actually hasn’t turned out too bad

[@tompinnef6331]

Corn looked fairly good - hoping the yield per acre is good. All the fields near the Pecatonica River are flooded. Been flooded on and off all year so far. No crops from those acres this year for anyone. Take care Thank you for the video. Spin

[@TheBackRoads1]

Yessss checkin’s with Randy!!!

[@JohnRaySalazar]

Oh the Joy I get when I click the video and see it's 20 minutes long! Really appreciate the effort you put into your videos Zach. Thank you so much!

[@dhansel4835]

COLD ! you should be in Houston and South Texas.... I got in my pickup yesterday and the temp on the dash showed 120deg and that was with the sun shield in the dash. Three weeks ago we had a tropical storm that came through. It looks like the most of the rain was going to Beaumont, Tx. That Thursday I noticed the lights flicker and looked outside. All the street lights were on. I decided to shut things down and go home. The 8 minute, 2 mile drive to the house took 3 hours ! The streets had 1 1/2 foot of water ! I ended up sitting in my truck across the street from my house for 2 hours! We got 12 inches of rain that day. Driving down the street at 10 mph I could hear the parking sensors of my truck beeping so the water was up to the bumper of my RAM truck. "There always is something to do on a farm"

[@nickkellen5001]

The talking goat! "Ouch you f$%king whizzed that thing! That thing is pointy fellas"

[@MillennialFarmer]

[@garydurham1891]

I grew up on a farm, worked in the fields driving John Deere tractors and equipment. I enjoy watching the video's

[@joshua89schultz]

Nothing awkward about two men deep in the corn talking about small cobbs lol. love the videos man, your humor is right up my alley.

[@terjesandaker8950]

You're making by far the best videos out there! Lovely blend of warm humor and interesting facts. Simply the best! 🤟🇺🇸

[@robhakeman5873]

Zach I have a way of hooking all the hydraulic lines up the easy way for the 1st hydraulic outlet for the 2 lines that go in I put 1 zip tie around the 2 lines and I put 1 zip tie on the right coupler. So the 2nd coupler you put 2 zip ties on and 1zip tie on the right hydraulic hose So on the 3rd coupler you put 3 zip ties and 1 on the right hose meaning right coupler. And then I take a bungee cord and hang off the center hook of the 3pt hitch. With this method you can change the grain. Cart to another implement in less than 5 minutes and I always put every coupler in float position when hooking up and unlocking the hydraulic hoses so theres no pressure on the hydraulic hoses anytime. Hope this will save you time.

[@RobertFay]

*There is so much to learn here on all your videos. AND it is Entertaining, TOO! ||| Also, I so very much enjoy the constant undertone of Mirthful Irreverence that sweeps along through it all. Brilliant.! So, Thank You. And with that, may i once again raise a toast to Mirthful Irreverence everywhere!*

Your🐱cat(not associated with Challenger🚜)was wanting to help you with harvest this year Zach🐈

[@darbyfarmsllc1213]

Our Kinze has a remote so we can control the gate and the spoute with our thumb and pointer finger while we are unloading. Plus you can pick uo the remote and hold it anywhere while unloading. Its an 1100. It makes everything so much easier than the toggles to your right.

[@tylisell7083]

A nice way to keep the hydraulic hoses out of the way is a bar across the bottom of the three point. Simple bungee strap and they’re out of the way!

[@TwoFarmBoys]

"Would you two knock it off! Go eat somebody." - Millennial Farmer 2019. Lol! Great video as always! The thing I really like about your videos, is you learn a lot from them, but at the same time they're really funny and enjoyable to watch! Keep up the great work and good luck with the rest of the harvest! Have a great rest of the day - Everett the human and Lachlan the farm pup

This weather here in MN has been something. Just as you were saying it hasn't rained for 3 or 4 days I can hear the rain pounding on the roof. I wish our cart had the gate gauge out on the end like that. Sure easier to see than where ours is. Good luck with harvest whenever we can get going. There have been a few beans taken off around here but not many. Thanks for the video.

OFF THE HUSK !!!!!!!!

[@lawnboy1898]

I wish we could even think about getting in the field. Been raining and snowing here in Manitoba for the last month with no end in sight

Right! What little wheat we did run here gave us 80 to 85 bushels an acre though!

[@merleelsing2400]

Don’t feel bad hardly anyone here in Minnesota is in the field!

[@johnkirkgasser]

To help your mistake proof you set ups / change overs... Put a red plastic zip tie on the end of all the right side hydraulic lines - "red is right"

[@wordlog860]

Neat. We don't have those on our six row =p The angled auger is a must have. Even on our little shit we noticed that right off. You need a spout next to your face.

Zack, I know nothing about farming or the agricultural industry, however I’ve always wanted be a farmer. I’ve ran earthmovers such as CAT 657s, D8s, and D9s but I’ve never ran any farming equipment. I’d love to run some of that beautiful green machinery one day. Love your videos, your content is gold! Keep up the good work!

[@dylanboutin1561]

The J&M grain carts are awesome only thing to watch for is the cable for your gate has a tendency to keep breaking also we had to restrict the flow in both of our lines to stop the auger from jumping like it does on yours other than that they are flawless

[@patmancrowley8509]

Hooking up the hoses. Time for some colored electrician's tape to keep the lines straight.

[@pauls4460]

FINALLY! We get to see the new Draper header in action soon. I can't wait for your observations, and hopefully, a more efficient harvest. You are right, that grain cart/tractor combo looks cool. Can't wait to see it in the field as well.
