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.

When you were working on the combine to set up everything, I was reminded of something from my early childhood that my Grandparents used to do with several other neighbor farms every fall. Each farm had similar crops every year, but each of them alone did not have all of the tools or hands to get all the equipment ready for harvest efficiently. So for several days early fall, each day everyone from all the farms would show up at one farm to work together to set up each farm for the harvest as a team. Each farmer would bring what tools they had to each farm as appropriate and they would all work together to get things fixed/aligned/lubed/inspected as needed. Instead of one or two people working on equipment at a farm, it would be 8-10 people for a day or two. Once one farm was ready, everyone moved on to the next farm that needed to be made ready. I'm not sure how the pecking order was set, but if I recall they tried to work from smallest to largest farms. Bonus benefit from that activity was shared familiarity with each others equipment so that sometimes they could borrow equipment from each other when something broke. Additional bonus: Some farms had more to harvest than others, so everyone would come help if they got done before the others. Additional bonus: My favorite thing about all of this was the excellent food served during and after each prep day as all farms would bring food too!! To my young eyes, it was like a harvest celebration every day... and the harvest had yet to fully start!! Over the years, those families left farming... including my own. Things change. I sincerely miss those days. Best childhood I could ever think of having. Thank you for sharing your farming life with us Zach. Much appreciated every year.

The sad thing is, as the older generations "retired", the younger generations stopped helping each other in this form. I know many farmers in my area but, none help each other. Growing up, I to remember the days when farmers DID exactly that, help each other. Rather is was grain crop, hay crop, even with livestock, it didn't matter. Farmers did help each other. Just shows you how times have changed and not for the better.

Zach, you and your dad always make me laugh, because you are much more talkative, and he doesn't say a lot. Your dad speaks with his eye's, and facial expressions, mostly. I always think of the video where you talked about how it's part of being Scandinavian, apologize if i got the ancestry wrong, and that you take the subtle hint. Your affect changes around your dad as well, like you're telepathically talking with him as well, i love it. My dad died when i was only 23, and I'm 51, you are lucky to have him around, maybe someday you could tell a few stories. I liked the video when you were talking about your family history, because he talked a lot more. I just know you have some good stories from growing up. Nice rig to go bean combining in, that thing looked huge. G-d bless your family, and furry critters.

Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable video. Great video Zach. Thanks for letting us see all the items to be done to get the honey bee header ready to go. Takes a bit to get it set and ready to work in the field. Lots of technology involved in the header. Like the trailer setup. No big trailer to move around. Neat. I think Jason was surprised at your new toy. He had a huge grin after that ride. Getting closer to harvest. Just around the corner. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
