Spraying Roundup-Glyphosate

[@duggydo]

I’m glad you’re making these videos. I’ve learned a lot. My older relatives and friends in their 60’s & 70’s who raised cattle all their lives have learned a lot as well. All farms aren’t the same and it’s good to share the information.

[@wayneanderson5672]

Zach, big time thanks for giving me an outlet for my childhood dreams ( in the 60's!) of farming. Favorite times were going to Grandpa's farm near Radcliffe, Iowa ( where you've at least driven by! ) You were my first exposure to youtube farming videos and not to inflate your ego too much but after watching all of yours and then expanding to some others you stand at the top of the heap... and certainly have been an inspiration for other videographers. Glad you've been able to include your family, your Dad and Jim also. So very thankful for all that you farmers do to keep this great country (at least in my opinion!!!) fed. Always look forward to seeing what's happening on the farm. Glad to be able to glimpse what goes into the family farm. Keep them coming.... as long as your family comes first!! We don't mind if you need to take a break every once in a while. ...not too long...!

[@farmingthingslevibaggensto8920]

Hey Zach, you have inspired me so much by helping me push myself into farming and I start a job tomorrow on a local dairy farm. Thank you so much Zach. Plus you are the funniest Farmer on KZbin and I don’t think anyone will ever take that away from ya. And plus skinning the knuckles hurts the worst

[@YardGuy]

Mowing, spraying, farm stuff. Probably one of my favorite videos.

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Thank you, Zach, for being an inspiration to young agriculturalists! We appreciate you educating the world about what farmers do! We are a farm family of all girls plus Dad! The voice behind our channel is a thirteen year old girl! Thank you and blessings!

[@jayjaygee3306]

Thank you for the videos. I know it's extra work for you and Mrs. Millennial Farmer, but it's always appreciated. And I'm glad to see your dad's knee seems to be working well.

Love the videos. Keep up the great work. Always watch yours and Chet's videos. Sucks what he's going through right now. Hope everyone is keeping him and Nicole's family in their prayers.

[@jameshercott4070]

First time I've ever cared about spaying crops. nice to learn some good stuff.

[@jaycole3050]

I grew up on a farm in SE Iowa, working for many of the area farmers. The tractors were generally Farmall H & M, John Deere A, B, & G and an Allis Chalmers with a couple of Fords. The farming of today is so different. I drove by many a farm & wanted to pull in & ask the farmer if I could spend a day with him. Thanks to You Tube I get to spend many days with many farmers in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania & Saskatchewan. I love it.

[@billhansen862]

The "fun fact" was one of the reasons your videos are so informative.

[@joshbernal5054]

I think there could be different alternatives in the future to weed controlling in fields. Glyphosate according to WHO has been classified as a possible carcinogen. Stay safe Millennial Farmer.

[@maximogiaccio5322]

Possible cancerigenous means that there's not enough evidence to say it's cancerigenous but they don't discard it

[@xxeroxxxxeroxx3242]

@@maximogiaccio5322 then eat a big bowl of Quaker Oats that’s embedded with glyphosate and shut the hell up. Shit has even poisoned our water supply to make a quick buck. Yay for corporatism

[@lrn_news9171]

Yeah it's pretty bad and over-reliance on it caused an explosion in increasingly herbicide resistant weeds which makes them have to use more and more of it, eventually they're completely resistant and even other combinations of chemicals don't work.

[@lrn_news9171]

It's more than a possible carcinogen, rats for huge tumours after like 5 months

[@mccradyfarms6410]

I'm glad you finally made a video on pre and post-emerge herbicides I've been waiting 2 years for you to do this would like you to go a little deeper into it though

[@FoolOfATuque]

I think it’s also to remember that level of exposure is important when dealing with chemicals. So let’s say you are using a garden sprayer and you mix up 5 gallons of spray. If you mix double the concentration of chemical your exposure is double for that batch when you spray it. So stick to the ratio recommended by the chemical manufacturer.

[@guidofarage7457]

Or just don’t spray this toxic shit at all.....

[@lrn_news9171]

The manufacturer that has a horrible track record LOL

[@lrn_news9171]

@@guidofarage7457 When you're monocropping you kinda have to spray something but unlike conventional herbicides, some farmers literally spray closer to harvest when the plant's seeds, fruit, cub or whatever is developing. With conventional herbicides they sprayed earlier on and the chemical didn't get on the edible portion as they hadn't yet developed. As the plant matured it created enough shade to prevent weeds.

[@coachbowman7979]

Your dad seems so easy going. Seems like a nice guy.

[@jackbroughton9803]

in the US do you have to do test to used different types of spray applications? in the UK there is 6 different courses depending on what u wanna do. PA1 is the theory of safety and laws which u have todo then PA2 though PA6 is the application types like boom sprayer of knap sack.

[@larsharris]

Kinda. It depends on chemical, what you are using it for, if you are hired…. So this is simplified. Not legal… If you want to spray your sidewalk, around buildings, on your property. You can buy many premixed chemicals at hardware, garden, even lumber retailers. You don’t need any permit. BUT you are responsible to follow instructions. (Many do not even skim them) If you want certain chemicals, and/or want to apply those chemicals to OTHER peoples property. (Or for hire) you must take, pass permits. I am not up on what each level is.

[@deadghost1964]

Jack, you need look up what "spay" is... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nasty boy...

[@NextLevelLawnCare]

I like how doing important stuff around a farm is mowing the lawn :)

[@darklight1313]

Seems like forever since we got to see you out in the sprayer! glad you're out and educating people about probably the least understood part of farming

[@lrn_news9171]

What's not understood? chemicals like glyphosate are good? LOL

Becky been hanging around that farmer Zack Johnson to long.love u guys.keep it up

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing. Still love the dogs and their antics. Love the barking whenever you start something. 😂 Having driven manual for the first 30 years of my life, not only do I go for the clutch, but I frequently catch myself going to down shift. 😂 old habits come back when you least expect them.

[@jwiereng]

even less chemical in reality - consider that the active ingredient is a small percentage of the formulation. CLETHODIM 252 g/L and Round up is 540 grams acid equivalent per litre glyphosate -

If you use posts with lynch pins for your covers where you can they can be removed and replaced quickly without tools, just have to shim under the linchpins to keep covers tight where necessary

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@ZaberBiest]

Some questions. What is the total acreage sprayed? (With Roundup/Glyphosate) Total Roundup/Glyphosate used per spraying season? Although it is, as you try to convey, very little you are spraying, it is extremely effective (toxin does not have to be used/applied in great quantities to be effective). As such, what happens to the Roundup/Glyphosate that is applied tot the crop? (Seeing as it would be very inefficient and costly to try and apply it ONLY to the weeds it must be applied to all the acres...) Does it just fall off and disappear?

[@omegalpha28]

[@northernliving2387]

Question Zach. What keeps the chemicals from going into the open water?

[@tractortamno1]

Good practice really. Safe handling of neat pesticide will prevent it entering a water course. Leaving buffer zones beside water courses when spraying also prevents this.

[@chrismader3689]

Do you ever reach for a non existent shift lever and cram the break pedal when you try to shift?

Show those sprayer booms unfolding and then folding, how does that work?

hydraulics

[@robm328]

Here in Eastern PA, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia, you will not find as much open land, but there is still some. I was very surprised to see a nice shiny John Deer sprayer similar to yours today. Probably not as wide on the boom, heck some of the fields might only be 1.5 times the width of your entire sprayer.

[@newfieingenuity]

Ha ha yeah same thing, got on my buddies hydrostatic the other day, every time I wanted to go in reverse I would stomp the imaginary clutch and reach for the shifter, and yeah oddly enough I never do that in the combine. Now his has the paddle on the floor not the joystick so maybe that's why it was so unnatural?

Decrease the motor pulley size to slow it down. Or you can increase the shaft pulley size but it will be tight inside that cover. Other potential option is to speed up the other motor by replacing the pulleys opposite of what I said before, but with increased speed you will draw more amperage so that may not be possible with the current motor.

[@reno4819]

Hey Zack for the conveyor that is too slow for the bin auger, would a quick fix be to change the size of the pulleys on either the conveyor or the auger (either end) as appropriate? Then the problem would go away for good. Cheers!

If you put a variable frequency drive on the motor that is too fast you can slow it down by varying frequency and you will not burn up belts on the motor that feeds faster that the other one that takes it away.
