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.

Who else was waiting on him to poke the murdered beans, "are you ok? Hey are you ok?" Lol

[@johnbachmann7567]

"they sprayed the beans with something that killed em... That was me" I laughed so hard... Love this channel!!

[@dannybroughton908]

Really you found that Really funny??

[@markreetz1001]

Apparently your Private Drive sign isn't working on that kid driving that "machine" tearing up the road. LOL! Don't let Onyx do that. haha!

[@MaryWehmeier]

That or teach him to grade the driveway. ;-)

[@ugeth2o2go]

Heh heh that funny

[@interestedmeow]

Being a farmer consists primarily of saying “Maybe...(insert hypothesis about observation)...I dunno”

[@hairlesscat6458]

Oh and talking about how the plants need more water

[@FoolOfATuque]

Everyone deserves a break every once in a while.

[@SassierNewt]

Even the rain

[@LtColDaddy71]

They don’t get much more frugal than me, but power tarps and openers on your trailers are an essential time management, force multiplier. So is AC in your shop! If you ever make it to N. Central Illinois, I’d love to show you my 2 story shop built out of concrete with spancrete and fully air conditioned. built into a hillside. I worked in the dirt for over a decade after turning my old shop into a milling facility. I’m real proud of her! New grain system also. I’m high on the hog.

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

I also express a lot of “ummm?” When I am playing with wires

[@troysmith3680]

Moved my family from a neighborhood to a farm in the country 2 years ago and it was the best decision we’ve ever made.

[@Wannabefarmerinmn]

Being a city slicker for 46 years of my life, my wife, who lived in the peace and serenity of the country life, finally talked me into COUNTRY LIFE, 2 years ago. Totally love country life, near Menahga, MN. Why didn’t we do this 20 years ago? Great video, Zach

[@deere7227]

We try to keep country lifestyle secret from city folk. They don't like smells, dust, noise, big iron on the roads, and pickups to mention a few

[@nando3922]

Steak hits the ground, and we all missed a, “Hey, you okay”.

[@leroybullied7705]

Threw a perfect pass and he missed it.

[@johnmilburn5715]

Glad to have you back mate. Never hesitate to take time away from here....family and sanity are too important . We're privileged to have you live your life in a goldfish bowl.....but respect your need for 'quiet time' and quality family time. Thanks to you all, and God bless John.

[@sethwells5266]

Don’t you just love it when the little ones start being more and more like you 😂

[@thedreamoutdoors]

"kids" lol

[@trover21]

I'm glad you took some time off from the camera and gave Mrs. MF a break from editing. Have a good summer.

[@magicsteve5523]

“This shouldn’t be to difficult” as a fellow farmer, this will be on my gravestone

[@anthonyjames7535]

I cut the cable years ago, YT is pretty much my couch potato time. Really enjoy your channel entertaining and educational. Spending a day or week on a selfie stick seems like it would get old fast.

[@johnl8996]

Former detasseler here (rite of passage growing up in the midwest). That word invokes horror in my blood and I still have the battle scars from me against those razor blade leaves walking the rows. I really miss it :(

[@scottmcnabb9122]

Hey we don't blame you from taking a break.

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

Referring back to your last video with electrical breaker tripping. Where I was employed we had annually checked all our breaker panels with infrared heat camera. We had an electrical contractor remove panel covers and photograph each panel, hot spots would show up as weak breakers, loose connections, and other preventive goodies 😉... we had over 500 panels 🤣 120 volt to 1200 volt. Took 2 weeks to complete checks.

[@TerrellSpivey]

I'm laughing at the fact that you said the soy beans you killed aren't coming back lol surely not! Lol I did even worse! Didn't plant an end row pass!! Lol I prayed for you guys to get rain in my video today! Love the kids ripping in the side by side!

[@jshwrig1]

That was a pretty accurate toss with a little zip right at your face. You must be proud!!!

[@nathanfriesen4413]

I asked my dad and this year we are spraying liberty and surfactant just like you all you’re a good farmer our cotton is looking great keep up the work 😀😁

[@mikewarfel7511]

I absolutely agree, being a farm boy is an awesome part of my life!!

[@mr.electric8559]

There is a special set of values I think you acquire growing up on a farm. My folks had a small dairy farm when I was young. I was too young to run much of the equipment, but I spent a lot of time with and watching my dad solve everyday problems without running to town for a new part. If nothing else, I learned to think about work-arounds....and to have tons of patience. Enjoy your summer,,,, and family. They grow up so fast.

[@chosen1one930]

From a Turf and Agricultural Manager, its always best to switch up chemicals, use 3 or 4 fungicides and rotate them. Same with herbicides and other chemicals. Plants and grasses get use to the same chemical and it becomes less effective or doesnt last as long.

[@boondogglemama]

My wife's always telling me, "why do you make things so difficult?"

[@lynlewis8606]

Id say "because you make everything so easy

[@jeffkuipers1030]

and I thought my wife was the only one to say that.

[@Symnetx]

We are freezing here in South Africa. Not as cold as it gets there bh you, but this is cold for us. It's winter here. Enjoy your summer.

[@redaryan9719]

First episode I've watched since being back from my 3 week fishing trip good to see the actor playing the millennial farmer deal putting out great content

[@68spc]

I will say that WD 40 sponsorship is good. It made me look for the dry film aerosol to lube my 3pt ball ends. You always want your balls well lubricated and not sticky from grease.

[@firefighterfarmer]

I didn't grow up on a farm but thanks to my wife I have a small hobby farm with goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens and sometime pigs and cows. It has been a huge learning curve for me but so worth bringing up our four kids with all the stuff they get to see and do every day. We also have one of the largest 4H groups in our county with over 80 youth. Love your content and videos Zach. Always look forward to each video. Thanks.

[@emilycrimmins1122]

Michigan has a similar voluntary program to that and I am a technician through the Conservation District and it is a great program! SO MANY great farmers out there wanting to do the best and right thing for their watersheds! Yay!

[@michaelwood5327]

My brother lives in central Illinois he told me today that they are having so much rain the beans were yellow, the corn was about 10 ' high.

[@NovaStar1]

@Pinned by Millennial Farmer scamer

[@walterhiegel3020]

Thanks for the break. Its work watching your videos. I didn't realize how tired ow watching I was until you gave me a break. I will be forever grateful!

[@derekreams2453]

Whens the next Derek with Vice Grip Garage collaboration going to happen? Love seeing guys like you all getting together.

[@scotth8892]

Hope you get some rain up there

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Have a good time with your family your stake oh don't forget the barley pops take care God bless🙏

[@gunner1811]

Well heck! I saw the problem right away! You’re missing chrome nutties off the tractor!!!

[@bryanhauschild4376]

We’ve come along way baby from the Spra-coupe, which we never had. We had a galvanized tank with manual fold booms that we pulled behind an cabless tractor.

[@rollie3383]

Derek would do the right thing and pretend he didn't see those loose wires

[@mikeanwender339]

Its always the simple jobs that seem to take longest. Like changing fuel filters in a JD sprayer !!!

[@markquast9482]

Did the Rogator yesterday, 2 men 4 hrs to change all filters, hyd and engine oil. What fun. South Australia. Great channel.

[@jelch7023]

You showed us the steaks you pulled, do a Millennial Farmer cooking edition! The life of a farmer is envious, the stress of a farmer not so much. Keep doing what you're doing and we thank you.

[@Chrisofnerd]

here in North Texas we have had so much rain this year we are running our Pivots just to fertilize the crops

[@mudassirjaan3693]

Here in Pakistan we have more rain too

[@grantdubridge7995]

You need to get yourself a 185 piece Husky tool set from Home Depot. Then you carry all the tools you need in one hand.

[@toddclark332]

Thanks for sharing this with us sir and you and your family have a beautiful night later

[@scottcreighton9923]

When you get slow at the farm you should show some more dirt track pictures or working on the modified car think that's what it is right

[@MillennialFarmer]

That just might happen with our 2nd channel soon...

[@hauptmann6]

@@MillennialFarmer Gotta love dirt track racing. Just haven't had time to make it to the track much this year. BTW If you run into Hot Karl, please don't let him win the B main

[@captainclay4595]

Hey Zach can u plz give ur dad a camera and plz tell him to explain what going on with the crops and other stuff like that

[@nearl95]

Our farm here in Nebraska has a very bad water hemp issue. We had great success with Dicamba beans because round up couldn't control it. But now we are no longer allowed to spray Dicamba. I've seen entire fields of beans lost to water hemp. Perhaps it's time to grow Milo again.

[@donwilliams9661]

Nice getting the Water tag... we do the same here in the Fraser Valley, B.C. Even though we are considered a Temperate Rain Forest, same as Washington State, we still have to look after our water sheds... Good on you Zach....

[@spideybrent]

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

[@basilgreen5843]

Thanks for the update, good to see the corn still hanging in there!! Hope you have a bumper harvest! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

Growing up on a farm, we had family friends and cousins stay for a few days and some for the summer. We paid them for school money in the fall, they still remember those days 60 years after.

[@LtdES7638]

Congratulations on the water 💦 quality program. Thank you for caring about your part of this earth. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work 💯

[@Tigerfan50]

My experience as a farm kid was much different. Do without, wear it out, were the order of the day. No 4 wheeler for poor cotton farmer kids. lol

[@jessyeli094]

"Cold blooded connection" lol okay Paul Allen!

[@tompinnef6331]

Only visited grandpa's farm - never lived on one. But it was some of the best 'fun'. Helping around the place - riding on the tractor when young. Later driving one while turning hay for him. Sad to see it now - nothing left of the farm but a huge subdivision. Only thing left is the county cemetery across the street where part of a movie was filmed at. (Harry and Tonto Art Carney 1974) Take care - be safe, hope the family and you are doing well.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

We don't have nearly as much corn as you do, but we had a drought for the last 3 years. That will bring you close to bankrupcy. Thank God we have enough rain this year so we can get enough feed for the cows

[@fbh31118]

I Honestly don't know how you folks keep up the channel and your podcast. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@garycraig9361]

Thanks for the reminder my friend, I forgot to take the steaks out of the freezer, Steak and Scallops tonight!

[@artur8403]

Some powerlines shoot arc very long distances. 10 foot no problem with high voltage lines and moist weather

[@denp54z]

Making easy things, like simple repairs , hard has been a life long struggle for me. Between Murphy’s Law and having a life long case Browns 🦠 Disease ! I always dread those kind of chores.

[@chrisadams3719]

We usually sprayed early in the day when the weeds are the most active, when it gets too hot out they go into a conservation mode and can limit the herbicides effectivness due to the weeds low metabolisim

[@s.pursell8901]

I got my son his first ATV when he was 4. It was a 1985 Honda 4-Trax 125 5 speed. I put it in second gear and wire tied two blocks to the rear break and said have at it. Go tear up the yard. Huge step up from his PW John Deere gator. Lol

[@carve164]

You didn't say you ok to the plug... Fun stuff! Man the kids get bigger each time you show them. Glad you took some time off from the camera. You need it and it's not like you don't have anything else going on in your life.

[@chadharmon5716]

Fix the creaking hinge on drivers door on the Pete

[@eb17816]

The good kids are the ones riping around in the road, because they know not to rip around in the fields.

[@uni.1666]

Your kids are living the ultimate dream with all the fun toys you treat them to. It would of been great to have grown up on a farm. You and wife are doing a great job raising them from what I have seen on here. Loving the video's.

[@danasheets5478]

step back is always good to recharge 👏👏👏

[@scottmills8089]

Always great to put family first. Take advantage of time.

[@kefla41]

“Somebody” that makes mistakes hangs around our farm too.

[@jeremymeador4419]

Oh I grew up on a farm and hey is very fun to work but you are right you do miss a lot of free time with working hay we never had big hay fields but getting 2 to 3 cuts a year do miss a lot

[@CuriousEarthMan]

no time wasted on an outro lol thanks for the fun video! I love how you'll try a NY strip though you're a t-bone man. I wonder if you'll like the NY strip better than the large side of a t-bone lol

[@deanlawson6880]

Keeping it between the rows... Thanks for saying a few kind words about Hay farming. Great Hay year this year!! - Kansas Hay farmer.. Stafford, KS

[@mikehart4357]

Zack, get yourself a couple of heavy boards and put under the landing gear to spread the weight out when you drop a full trailer

[@denp54z]

That’s a great son you have there. Keep him sharp and interested but try to turn him to a work slave. My dad thought we owed him our labor, worked us hard and hardly gave at a boys or complimented us thus wonder why we bug out the day after high school graduation and moved hundreds and in my case thousands of miles away to get away from the old tyrant. It was many years later before we could actually enjoy visiting them.

[@mathbrown9099]

Zach, most of us love your vids and don’t mind the breaks for fam. You take as much time away from this to be present for the wife and kids.

[@ginggur17]

Nice one Zach. Great video as always, thankyou. 🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@tophand9571]

Thanks for the videos!!!

[@1sgengineerretired801]

Yup, haying does add more work, maybe you would like a chance to run the Vermeer ZR5 baler, like driving your zero turn mower and now they are coming out with an automated bale retrieval equipment, all camera and GPS, no operator except for computer work

[@artayers2372]

I had noticed your lack of content lately. I am glad that it was just a break and not something wrong.

[@codybowman6823]

Thanks for continuing making videos! I wish I could have grown up on a farm, so watching your videos helps me live that!

[@corvanderwal4454]

Just put some vaseline on the electrical conectors to keep them from corroding, next time u brake something u can easely disconect them! Was a bit behind on the vids watched it all unrill this episode in 2 or 3 days straight. Keep it up i love your content! Makes me feel to go to america and help on a farm. Kind regarts

[@carterslawncare2721]

Keep up the fantastic job!

[@jeffmcbride469]

Glad to see this back!

[@peterolsen3797]

Howdy, While your spraying the glad hands also spray the electrical plugs. Insertion is easy and corrosion is stopped for a while.

Your a lucky man Zach, we always seem to be running out of wd40 every other day and you have a supply the rest of us could only dream of 🤣
