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.

30 year truck driver here with some advice. Dont push clutch to floor when starting trucks. Just make sure its in neutral and no need for clutch at all. When you push in clutch to floor, you are pressing against clutch brake. You are actually putting more resistance against the starter. You always have low batteries, this might help when your battery is at that “fine line”. Im addicted to your channel. Love your farm!!!

I have never had a problem in summer....just frozen chunks in winter. My brother created an adapter for a aeration fan that clamps onto the take out auger opening. Diesel heater into the fan and in 4 min the auger and chunks are melted. We also have a (cheese grader) pyramid on the center gear box...no issues now. The weight of the corn above pushes corn chunks through the cheese grader...
