    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.

Hopefully that doesn't push Jim off the farm. I am still hoping for a video of how your Dad and Jim got together as a working relationship. The story of Jim if you will. Keep up the great work and stay safe. God Bless

  • @EstOptimusNobis
    @EstOptimusNobis Рік тому +1

    For the big shed, talk to the concrete guys and see if "soil cement" is an option, considerably cheaper than a concrete slab. Another idea is to dry mix lime and sand, then mix this with the top layer of soil in the shed, as the lime absorbs the water in the soil it hardens. Again, considerably cheaper than a concrete slab. Talk to the local road building contractors, they will have useful advice on both of these methods.

    Well the kids get strapped in but he now needs the optional differential lock to get full traction. I had same issue with a dump truck, flat ground grassy, mud, slime, could not move and could not throw anything under the wheels to get traction. My boss just shook his head but nothing you can do (no gravel near by). Of course on a gravel area I fell into a hole and they just shook their head as well.

    I about had a bowel movement when you mentioned the cost of concrete.
    May I suggest maybe pavers instead?
    Do 20-30 feet a pop over several years to spread the cost out and eventually you will have a paver floor all the way to the end.
    We see a lot of shops and hangars that have paver floors in bush Alaska. They don’t require too much equipment or skilled labor to install like concrete does and often it is cheaper to mail the pavers to a remote site rather then to barge concrete in.

    • @shawnmiller4781
      @shawnmiller4781 Рік тому
