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.

@durgan5668 3 жыл бұрын
Yep, in the '70's the local blacksmith made anything you needed to get the work done. And yes, that's the 1970's. We still had horse-drawn equipment rusting in the fields when we bought the ranch in Utah. Dad had a Ford '40, and a two bottom flip plow, and putting in metal head-gates for irrigation was apparently a radical departure from canvas dams thrown across an irrigation ditch. It wasn't until his yield was 30 to 50% greater that people started paying attention to what he was doing. He'd taken soil samples to the local county Agriculture office and found out what the soil actually needed to grow different types of crops. Locals had been doing it the same way since the 1800's and hadn't taken advantage of how things had progressed.

@durgan5668 3 жыл бұрын
What I like to see here, is he's not afraid to spend some money on things like rolling chairs to make the job easier on the human body. There's always going to be grunt work. But you'll be around a lot longer if you have support systems in place like tools fitted to the job at hand. Work smarter, rather than harder. Don't get me wrong, it's a brutal amount of work, but the production they're able to put out, reflects the care taken on the front side of the project.

@@markmcculfor6113 I thought they were homeschooling to. I would home school, because just wearing that mask all day is dangerous. I notice worker's who have the mask on, and their skin is very red in the face and neck, as well as their arm's. Breathing the bacteria from your mouth is causing strep throat, my sister teaches second grade, and they shut the school down for two weeks. There are several disease's people are having just from the mask. The scary part is this vaccine that has not been tested on animal's, and is not FDA approved, and if you have any health problems, you can't see. The rna vax is not like the other yearly flu shots, and it could take a couple years for any health issues arise. I have MS, and got it after the hep b vax, about 3 year's later I was misdiagnosed for another 7 years. I joined several MS groups, and found out that many people like me got the MS after the hep b vaccine. I started researching the shots and found out they have Mercury, PEG, aluminum, aborted fetal cells, and cause many autoimmune disease's. Go to the CDC website, and also a you tube channel called herbsplusbeadsworks, has a lot of good information on this. God bless, and be safe.

My Grandfather had a hobby farm so big new equipment wasn’t an option. I will never forget riding on the back of the grain planter which had steel wheels. You had to be on the back continuously watching to make sure every row was sowing. It was extremely dusty at times but it worked extremely well. I’m glad we only sowed a small amount of acres lol. He also used a wooden separator that stayed in place even tho combines were readily available, he loved doing it old school. I’m glad I got to experience all the old equipment in use.
