    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.

    Your dad is the man, years of

    Your a lucky man to have a dad
    like you have.

    Oooohh, that feeling. WHAT was that noise?? Did I actually hear it?? Did I imagine it?? Is it nothing?? Is the combine about to blow up or catch fire?? Do I keep going or should I have stopped an hour ago?? THAT causes tension inside. And that weather pattern there! That was wild! The edge of that cloud was right there. Great video Zack. I always enjoy coming along with you guys and seeing the inner workings of your place. And Becky ALWAYS makes it a coherent and wonderful presentation. THANK YOU Becky!! I do get a lot of joy here. Thanks to all of you.

    I think we all need to sit back and appreciate the amount of effort that goes in to making these videos, both from Zach and from Becky. Farming itself is hard enough, but taking your time to film all these dmall clips and then editing them together in this short amount of time while doing your main job asw is just phenomenal. Keep up the great work!

    I didn't realize how addicted I've become to your videos. Farming is a lot different than I thought it would be and actually is. I love working with all kinds of machinery, growing things, and not having a regular schedule, and just doing what need to be done. If my situation was different growing up, I could definitely see me doing this kind of work. You do a heck of a job with your videos. :)

    I feel for you with the family photos. One of the neighboring farmers has a daughter who lives in Florida and she scheduled her wedding in the middle of corn harvest. Needless to say he wasn't too happy about having to leave mid-harvest to attend, but family is more important than acreage.

    I had to smile with you and your dad listening to the combine, "hear that rattle?". Reminded me of conversations in C-17 aircraft. The pilot would say, "what's that noise?" All I could hear was the sound of 4 jets and an APU running. How in the world could you hear a noise over that racket. But over time sure enough you could hear things that didn't sound right. If you hear it, check it just like you said. Good memories. God bless.

    • @beckyumphrey2626

I also say "good enough for government work." And I work for the government, so I ought to know! Your Dad and Jim are really great on the videos. And a shout out to Nate2.0. And the fact you were able to get away to get the family pictures means things are going well.

    We bought a new C12F last year and heard a plastic-y "grinding" noise. We noticed that right side PTO shield rattling as well and it would slowly turn while the head was running. Eventually that plastic tube shield broke in 2 places and then the 3 pieces would grind together. They checked the shaft to see if it was bent slightly but said no. They ended up warrantying the right side shaft and shield. I still noticed the shield rotating some this year, but it never broke. I did notice corn shucks getting wedged between the tube shield and back of head a couple times and dug them out to keep them from pushing on the shield. The noise last year was definitely unsettling at first but was a relief to find it was just the shield rubbing

    Hey Zach, we have a new corn head too, a 2022 C8R. It was noisy on the drive end like yours. Turned out that the collar that held the sprocket in place that drives the auger was omitted from the factory, that caused the chain to rub the framework making a racket. After they replaced the collar, sprockets, and chain it was still noisier than it should have been so they replaced the chain on the end that runs in oil. Now it sounds good. Might look into that

    Nice man.
    Busy busy time for all of you with harvest going full speed.
    No big breakdowns so that is good. Had to put new blades on the tillage machine but guess that is regular maintenance type thing. Keep it all going.
    You are real good with the new dryer setup and the adjustments and such. Seems to be running real good for your operation. That is good.
    The dogs really like to ride in the Polaris cart.

    This is just a suggestion what I always did with plow bolts when they would spin I would take the welder and weld the bolt to the shovel so then you could spin the nut right off or break it either or

    I think this year with drier corn and the new setup you are making your drier more efficient, as the previous years was very wet and you had the slow auger with the loud air blower! Can you switch dry bin while the dryer is outputing? Or you have to stop it then switch! Smart to have a bolt supply right in the shop. And they refill periodically without you calling.

    Shame on Zach! He forgot to cut the ties off his hoodie, and was working around a running combine with a guard opened up!

    A knife smith in the area may be interested in those used up points. I wonder what steel alloy they're made of...

    Even when everything is going smoothly, it is still very interesting to watch. Because between you and your "editor". The content is flowing smoothly and funny with your commentary. 🤷‍♂️🤣
