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.

No check-ins with Rany jingle?! Disappointed.

I agree. I had a talk with Becky.

The way that you get the camera to activate when you reverse is, go into the camera settings and select what ever camera that it's in and select the reverse option and select 10 secs

[@nunofd82]

If you have a reverse alarm beeper out back you can probably get the positive when in reverse there.

[@samhanson5554]

Hi Zach! This is Sam Hanson from Bismarck North Dakota! Thursday, Friday and Saturday we recieved 17.8 inches of snow, it just did not let up! In fact, I was supposed to be down by Hoffman, Minnesota and celebrate my father‘s 95th Birthday on Saturday, but Interstate 94 was closed! But, Bismarck way, they haven’t even started soybean and corn harvest! In fact, I hear that there is even some wheat out there waiting to be harvested.... It’s awful difficult when you get rain every third or fourth day. I guess we will have to pray for about three good weeks to get the harvest in! I’ll pray for good dry weather for you guys and the other farmers also! Until next time…Sincerely, Sam Hanson 😎

[@NoMorePain1Deep]

I got to go to Minnesota last year for work in Austin, MN and might I say it is one of the beautifulest places on earth. Your a lucky man getting to wake up and farm there everyday. It is cold though but totally worth it.

[@jamescampeau6723]

Thanks for allowing me to farm vicariously through you. Always been interested in all the heavy machinery.

[@ryankanderka]

One of these times you will say “Are you ok” and the mouse will jump up and run

[@MillennialFarmer]

Hopefully I have the camera on for that!!

[@davekimbler2308]

Country Boy 28 hell ya ! I want ta be there for sure ! Watch him crap his FRUIT OF THE LOOMS !

Hopefully the mouse bits him in the nose before it runs. Just for giggles.

[@kennethwalker8681]

It’s awesome that you have a place inside, or at least under cover, for your equipment.

[@mattbarnett7985]

I respect the amount of patience farmers have.. I would go crazy waiting to harvest!

[@MillennialFarmer]

I'm there!!

[@BWYinYang]

Yeah, then after a week or two, they just wanna hurry up and get it done. hahaha

[@chrischambers8227]

Randy wouldn't need tracks on his combine if he had some drain tile. Oh wait.

[@rsgood4u]

Found your channel this past weekend, and i must have binge watched 6 hours of your videos saturday night. Love this channel! GL with the harvest!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Awesome thank you! You're going to love the harvest videos once we can start!

[@causticdeagle]

I just recently started watching your videos, I'm subscribed with notifications. I'm a city goer in Nebraska myself but ever since my grandpa passed away I've been finding greater interest in farming, I also love all of your machinery nothing runs like a Deere

[@rowycoracing]

It is impressive how clean and well cared for all of your machinery is. Nice job!

[@user-gg4ky7rw6q]

0:50. Even your broom is green and yellow lol .Great videos keep up the amazing work

[@koolman2021]

Awesome video thanks for sharing hopefully the weather will change for the better won't be any fun fighting the mud have a great evening

[@tlsolsma]

That crop divider works really well! I actually just made my own outta steel just laying around instead of buying one. You'll love it! Saves ya some time and hassle!

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Zach, exciting that harvesting is coming soon. I would imagine that no matter how much shed space you have, there is still going to be a John Deere shuffle. My that new JD combine looks beautiful -- but you "old reliable one" look pretty sharp as well. Thanks for all the updates on things that must be done to prepare for harvest. I didn't realize it and most people have no idea. Best wishes for minimum rain and maximum drying. You deserve it. -- Dean from Edina

Randy should have his own KZbin Channel

I am not a farmer but cant wait for the next thing to learn from Zach. Thank you.

[@toddgillespie8165]

I'm thinking you should switch over to marsh crops, like rice.

[@timcaffell6330]

Never farmed. Not even a garden. But, I can't stop watching these videos! I can't believe how hi-tech those machines are! Subscribed!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Welcome! Harvest is going to be fun if it ever stops raining!!

[@deannelson9565]

We'd gladly take your weather right now we just got two feet of damn snow! That's always awesome when you can't see your beans cuz they're buried under a drift! LOL

Red trucks - green equipment...Love that combo. And a built down (or up) the road Polaris!

[@eeengineer8851]

I've been enjoying your videos. Grew up in southern Kandiyohi county. I remember some really wet falls in the early 80s when I was in HS. Dad had to leave some beans out as the old Deere 45 combine would get stuck. This year cannot be good. I currently live in the Fargo area and its really wet here. With the about 8" wet snow a few days ago added to all the rain, I am thinking nobody it getting out there unless the ground freezes, hopefully w/o more snow!

[@bradsingle7168]

The best camera ever is one facing into the grain tank on the top lip of the hopper extensions.

We got rain today after a dry spell in NC for about a month it stopped our peanut harvest for a day or two till they dry out again then its back to beans! nice combine an awesome machine I do believe, be nice to see how it does this season for you since your starting out wet that way with the tracks!? awesome job man keep it up!

Neat little trick for the plastic bands that they put on packages is to find the connection point and pull the tab underneath. It will tear the strip and make it a lot easier to pull off without needing a knife.

@@MillennialFarmer In Texas we had 22 degree freeze to stop our corn 10 days early. With the 2 week delay in planting we probably lost 5 to 25 bu yield. We do not need rain because our corn got 2 to 6" a week before the freeze. The climate this year has been trying to say the least.

Many farmers here in east central Virginia are finishing up corn and/or soybeans now. The weather here has been cooperating for the most part. Several farmers are getting their winter wheat and barley planted as well. Hopefully, the sun will come out for you all for a few weeks so you can get harvesting done. #whowillstoptherain
