Trying To Keep Up With The X-9 Combine in corn is definitely a challenge for Onyx in the grain cart and our 3 semi trucks! #Harvest2020 #JohnDeere
The goal of the Grain Bin Safety campaign is to reduce the occurrence of grain bin accidents by raising awareness of the hazards and by raising funds to equip first responders with the tools and training needed to respond quickly when necessary in the event of a grain bin accident. The funds raised will be used to purchase Grain Bin Rescue kits and training for our first responders.
Donate Today:
www.gofundme.com/f/grain-bin-...
Nominate Your Local First Responders:
Best point of contact at your department? What equipment does your department/responders need? Is there a specific brand of equipment your community uses as a combined effort with other local departments? Any other information you think we might find useful? Please send request to givingback@mnmillennialfarmer.com
Zach and Becky Johnson will assemble a panel of volunteers to review request a distribute donations accordingly.
Funds raised will be distributed to rural first responders to purchase grain bin rescue systems and training.

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.

I didn't start running machinery until I was 12. By 14 I was the hired man on Dad's farm. So I'm watching these harvest videos with great memories. My best advice is to make sure Onyx goes to university or Ag college after high school. It'll teach him about surviving in the outside world without mom and dad close by. He'll learn to make decisions on his own, some bad but mostly good decisions while in school. Then come home and go farming. All that he has learned, both while growing up and in post secondary school, will help Onyx be a great farmer!

Tip for Onyx: Don't ever leave home. His life was mine growing up. Exactly doing what he is doing. My father ran about 3500 acres growing up, part his and part custom combining and drilling. Mom delivering our bologna lunch every day to dad and me and his hired hands. I left after I graduated. Biggest regret of my life. Stay at home kid. Take over that family farm. Just watching this brings back that smell. The sounds and sights of being out in the middle of nowhere at night harvesting, combining, cultivating and discing.

Dude i love this time of year, when it goes cold to the point where you can't do anything and you can come inside to watch some millennial farmer with the family. Just great

You must be super proud of your son. Really happy to see you've taught this young man how to handle a piece of equipment like that and he seems to have a good grip on the job. Im a father myself and I wish I had a way I could work with my sons.

Wow the x9 is amazing. Listening to Onyx tell his mom how he was unloading the grain cart was so great! Happy young farmer

So nice to see you and the family on todays farm. From the seat of an old hand-brake Allis Chalmers WC from sixty years ago, on a 100 acre pile of ledge and rocks in Massachusetts of all places, some great memories I would not trade with anyone. And having a son who wants to be where you are is hard to describe. My little boy is now over 50. The first time I heard the neighbors green and yellow model A, I fell in love with that sound, used to work for him,(40 cents an hour), but got to drive his green machines. "You can take the boy off the farm, but you cant take the farm off the boy." and so it is.

All those "donuts" with the four-wheeler on the gravel outside the shop are paying off. Awareness, reaction, driving skills, etc. all come to bear when driving something else. Good job!

A very (justifiably) proud dad and mum. Well done you two, take a bow.

Onyx runs that thing with the confidence of a surgeon. Smart kid love it. If he decides not to farm I want to hire this young man!!

"Can I sweep up all the corn dust in a pile?" Now that's something every grain farmer wants to hear, great kids!

Another great video. Enjoyed watching the x9 working. What a machine. It really eats up the corn-wow. Good variety in video and enjoy that. Onyx doing an outstanding job with the grain cart. Had mom riding along for a while, that is good. Good to see your dad getting around. Hope he continues to improve. Always good to see Jim. Thanks for the video. Iowa farm boy from years ago.

Onyx is doing a great job driving the tractor and grain cart. Like his dad cutting jokes on the red machines u and Becky have done a great job with raising the kids should b proud. Enjoy the videos. Awesome x9 combine.
