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.

You can tell the trailer is like that because that’s the way it is.

For those of you that know....well you know. 😂

[@allisb1123]

Those trailers don’t flex when empty because they are new and tight yet, the old ones flexed easier because you dropped them into a ditch a few times and loosened up all the rivets. 😂

We have that hovering wheel thing all the time on our tankers when the ground on one side slopes just a little and the truck is empty. Never had it on a spring ride trailer though.

[@oldad6207]

As a matter of fact, I am 70 and sang it for a performance of the Big Bend Minstrel Association in 1970. You called that perfectly.

[@brivas3343]

Also that song is in the movie "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid", a classic western .

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Butch Cassidy was riding Etta Place around on a bicycle, though she was technically Sundance Kid's aunt. She was Sundances moms youngest sister, they were lifelong companions until him and Butch died of gunshot wounds in Bolivia in 1908. She was lost to the ages of time death unknown.

I went and pulled it up just to hear it one more time.. have not heard it in decades

[@mikewithers299]

I'm 61 Zach and I've heard that song so many times as a kid I couldn't get it out of my head. Wasn't it BJ Thomas who sang it in the '60's?

[@BobbieJeanM]

I bet there’s more than 7 of us! I’m 71 and yes, definitely remember the song and the movie! Enjoyed hearing it from a millennial. 😉👍

[@richardlug6139]

For sure I am only 61 and sang along to that song on AM radio late at night doing fieldwork in the late 70’s. We only got AM back then and the only stations that came in were either pop or country.

[@user-zh3xb1rx6y]

Appreciate your comment about the over 70's lyric knowledge - I often break into that one in the damp - and I add a French accent but I won't be putting it up on KZbin any time soon. Great piece of cultivating kit.

[@kawasaki2024]

Yeah, he was great singing karaoke at the gay bar last month. Didn't expect to see Zack there though...

[@krisgof4344]

in connection with your trailers this is normal with air suspension. When your trailer is empty, your air beams inflate to driving level. But because your axles consist of solid beams, you get this. Your air beams will always be at a certain air pressure and height. once you are loaded they will be on the road I also have this with my truck and trailer in Europe

[@MillennialFarmer]

Interesting... thanks

[@jimjensen1414]

BJ Thomas "Raindrops are fallin' on my head"..... great old hit

Me to 4: It is good to hear your voice sir. I hope all is well.

[@nienkeengelen5351]

Not us in the Netherlands have non stop rain. No one can get on the fields now. Not on tracks and not on wheels. Water is as high as the ground is with pools on the ground. Lots of stuff is still in the ground, beets, potatoes, and lots of greens😢

[@BobbieJeanM]

That’s especially rough for the farmers and the consumer will feel it too eventually.

[@robertrohler3644]

Wow you sang parts of a B.J. Thomas song? We look forward to hearing you at karaoke on Thursday nights. PS we like the Bee Gees too.

I'm 59 and I know that song well the question I have is that a pile of involuntary corn seed that I saw next to that semi lol

[@erazemzo8890]

I don't think there is anything wrong with your trailer. It is light and it is quite rigid so it doesn't twist when it's empty. When you drive it across a bump on one side the whole thing lifts off the ground on the other side. If it does the same when it's loaded than you have a problem 😁 Oh and great channel Zach, I love to watch it. My favourite show actualy 😉

[@arthurjennings5202]

Yes, I am old enough to know that song. I also remember watching the movie as a first release in the theater.

[@larryhager7109]

It's a hopper bottom thing. The whole trailer is the frame of the trailer. If that makes sense. There is no main beam like in a flat bed or lowboy trailer.

[@brandonneisen9030]

We actually just bought a couple trailers with the hovercraft option..really helps on tire wear but got to be careful on a windy day.

I still have that song on the original album from the movie "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Watched the movie in a drive in theater in either New London or Spicer. I believe it was in 1968. The car was a 1955 Chevrolet Belair 4 door. Great Movie and sound track.

I think maybe The Rodeo Song is more your Style Zach. 🤔😂

[@lindanelson8400]

Smacking things with a hammer is almost always the best way to start any "fix it" project. My dad referred to that method as technical alignment. If the first "fix it" attempt was unsuccessful, then proceed with step two, a larger technical alignment tool (hammer) if still unsuccessful then you proceed with option three, assess the problem, develop a plan for corrective measures, obtain new parts where applicable, and make actual repairs. Step three should be used only as a last resort. Technical alignment is the best place to start, just check any repair book.

[@larrythompson8630]

It worked on Skylab. The solar panels would not deploy. They tried everything. Were considering how to work without that power source. Someone told astronaut “hit it with a hammer”. He did, it deployed. Mission saved.

[@BobbieJeanM]

Or any object that’s harder than your hand. In my early 20’s when I didn’t have any extra money to buy a hammer or screwdriver, I used the heel of a shoe and kitchen knife. Both worked surprisingly well. 😆
