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.

Well, imagine if he passed the whole farm to a family member and then he would have to watch how they would sell everything way bellow theyr value. Or pass it down and watch them fail due to lack of responsibility and care. My thoughts why the guy sold everything is that noone in the family wanted to farm.

Ever been to a corner ball game at a farm auction? Not sure if it is still ever happens but 35 yrs ago when I was a wee lad farm auctions among the plain sects in eastern PA (Amish and Mennonites) were a family affair for all relatives and others. If it was grandpa's retirement auction the daughters and daughter in-laws had the food stand. The teenagers or "rumspringa" got a good corner ball game going in the barn that drew crowds rivaling the actual auction. And us kids, we would bounce at will between Dad and the uncles at the auction, the wild game in the barn, the nearly empty farm house (furniture got sold too) and when we got hungry mom or aunts in the food stand would always hook us up. Wonderful memories.
