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.

Being a farmer myself I can say that this is absolutely the best way to run livestock, but unfortunately in England we don't have the space. This operation is a tremendous credit to the family, and I wish them well for the future. Several years ago I visited the Triple U ranch where Dances With Wolves was filmed, and spent a whole day learning about the way they farmed bison. I shot a large bull, and later watched it being processed ready for sale. It was great that those animals never saw a truck or a slaughterhouse. I would really like to visit sometime when travel restrictions are eased.

The Great Buffalo massacre didn’t wipe out the Buffalo.. It definitely contributed.. it was disease from cattle drives in the late 1860s 70s and 80s that killed 80% of the Buffalo.. it would be almost impossible to shoot 60 million... in such a short time frame..

You never fail to bring every aspect of the agriculture community to us 'city slickers' and I, for one, am truly thankful. I am sorry if I sound like a broken record. But you make these types of videos very interesting as we learn the ins and outs of what these families do to make a living and do what they love to do, and that is half the battle of getting out of bed in the morning. For me, I love to mow grass and have a successful business. I don't mind getting up mornings, in the spring and summer, and getting out there making peoples yards look great!!! Much like you like getting out there and producing the food that feeds us.

I was in Thailand 2 years ago on Vacation, Water Buffalo are so mellow and low-key, almost like a dumb dog. they're very friendly and easy to pet, they are primarily used as the family tractor for pulling plows to planting rice, and pulling carts. I'd rather own one of those than a steer from over here! This one time I helped a kid with his 4-H club steer, he was a "red limousine" that we called "Rusty" that darn thing always wanted to step on my feet. All the livestock in Thailand is very lean, Steroid free, and almost fat-free. I had a Water Buffalo (Beef) roast. cooked by my friend Samaii who owns a ranchette in Ban Dung, the Water Buffalo was delicious! Too bad I can't post pictures on here, I have a good one where Samaii is walking 4 of them down a road only using a bamboo walking pole.

Bison and Buffalo are two different species. Tip for the day. Pour a liter of alcohol in your windshield washer tank. Then top off with the blue fluid. Get the alcohol pumped up into the lines. On frosty mornings just spray the windshield and wipe. Spray again. Watch the crystals grow on the wind shield. As the truck warms up. The defroster will start working. The ice will disappear. This way you are not a peep hole driver. Later.
