- Never Park a Tractor behind the Combine-Wise words from my Grandpa. I'm really sorry guys, but...it was a very eventful day. I didn't drive anything other than the combine, nothing broke down. I'll we did was harvest about 140 acers of corn we're down to about 300 acers.

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.

Jims little ad-break had me smiling🤣
Having been a professional pilot for the past 35 years I love it when my passengers comment on how easy my job looks. I always reply "You don't want to be with me the day it doesn't look easy!" Usually shuts them up... :-)
Been on a few of those rides. Had a few HEMS pilots ask how much turbulence was too much, I usually say "if the patient bounces off the cabin ceiling"
True true.
Same here. Truckers don't have the best reputation (we have a lot of bad apples :( ), but well, the fun time is coming.
No one wants to switch with me when the road gets rough and you need silverware to get up the hills :D
No kidding kirk. It bugs me when people spout off how easy they think others jobs are. I am no pilot but I feel safer when they are able to make it look easy. I understand abit about all the responsibility you guys have from a friend of mine, who is also a commercial pilot on several size of aircraft over the years. Both as co-pilot and captain. It really is eye opening.
Your dad commenting on something his dad taught him just goes to show that what we do as fathers has a lasting impact. I love little things like that. God bless all of yall. Stay safe for those last acres.
Seeing a good dad in action is majestic. The temperance and wisdom of it always makes me understand why my dad couldn't do that and was a monster.... Much as he wanted the medals, he didn't expect to do ANYTHING but abuse... So sad as it is for me, I can still appreciate seeing a good dad.....
You're still better than anything on television!
Great work Becky. The best Editing on UA-cam.......
Jim is funny. I hope someday he will allow you to interview him, that would be a hoot. Thanks for a great video. Glad you had a good time with that child riding with you.
Has Jim been on “Off the Husk” yet?
Little girls sure are good talkers. Everything they say is so important to them too!
So cute...
My Dad used to work all day on the farm, then load a load of hogs just before the men went home. Driving that old GMC double decked with hogs the 50 miles into St Louis was a way for him to stretch his day and not have to be gone from the farm while the men were there insuring their productivity. He was always tired and my Mom was worried that he woujld fall asleep driving. The solution was to send my little sister along with him to talk to him and keep him awake. I guess it worked, he never had an accident.
When Zach and his Dad were talking about Starbuck, who outside of MN,SD, or ND thought they were going for coffee?;)
@@johnwalsh4271 Starbuck is the name of a nearby small town in MN
@@banjobenson9348 Thanks.
I roll through Starbuck every week on Mn 28.
Based on context, I didn't think they were going for a latte. But I had no idea if it was a town or just a reference to a specific field.
As a kid, when I first heard of Starbucks, I thought it originated in Starbuck. I was a cultured one!
Hey Zach, you should have let people know that Starbuck is a town and not a coffee shop. Lol. It sounded like you were going to take a long coffee break.
Yeah Zack, I wondered how come you lucky farmers have a Starbucks on the farm. How convenient - and I thought you guys had it ROUGH !! Tee Hee !!
Ah there goes my fun... Was chuckling my head off thinking of Zach and family, feet kicked up, sitting around a Starbuck's at O'dark-thirty in the morning passing time for some reason or another.
@@johnking8679 it Zach, not Zack. Read description...
Sorry, Zach for misspelling your name !!
@@deadghost1964 Sorry, Buddy !! I sent Zach an apology for misspelling his name !!
Glad you had an uneventful day Zach they are very rare y’all deserve as many as possible!
*hgve(
When two combines are going in the same direction it is a race!
If you keep the 20ft header for next time the corn lays over it'll never fall over again...if you sell it Murphy's law says you'll need it again
You are 100% correct.
Ain't that the truth
Parked my pickup behind the combine one time...and although no combines were hurt can't say the same for the ol'Chevy. May she RIP!
And we all learn the hard way. Been there, done that.
I have been watching your videos for some time now, do admit it's difficult waiting between them however, I can't even begin to express my level of respect for you and for all farmers in whatever form they are (well 'cept pot farmers, they're just dangerous no matter what) for all the work you do on a daily basis, sharing your "typical" day with us exhausts me and even when I was at my best in the military and as a cop, I know I would have been totally exhausted after half a day of the work you put in.
People tell me "thank you for your service" and I'm greatful for that thanks but don't seek it out, to me, you folks, farmers, those who keep the food moving to our dinner plates are just as much heroes in my book so thank you for your service to my belly and keep up the good work and the videos coming please.
i especially appreciate the thanks for your service that i get from kids
Enjoy riding along with the videos. A good day with no breakdowns is always the best. Keep it between the rows!!
There is a ferrous check ball in the nozzle that is suppose to be held open by the blue ring (A magnet) of the filler. Sometimes it's not strong enough and you can get a magnet to fit on the nozzle to bypass this (The nozzle will also then spray if it's not in the filler so be careful). If that still doesn't work then the pump is just pumping too fast and you can either adjust it down either via a flow controller if it has one or changing belt pullies to underdrive the pump. Or if you are real desperate kink the hose to restrict the flow rate. Learned all this filling up def in trucks at stations :) Lots of fuel stations actually keep the magnets on hand it's such a common problem.
Cool to know. Here in germany we have the same problems when fueling our semis with def/adblue.
@@Knallteute Yeah it is a well intended safety to prevent people from accidently putting def in the diesel tank. Just doesn't work properly some of the time. If the magnet on the tank filler isn't strong enough for the nozzle+friction pressure of the def going around it, the check ball gets pushed closed.
@S O F I A GO AWAY!
i´m from Germany too and know that issue also. My secret is to crank up really really slow. It works for me.
@@Knallteute Same here in UK too! Good tip!
I just love Jim and your dad. They are so humble!!
I've been waiting all season for that restroom joke Zach and you finally delivered.
BUTT !! The first time you chanted 'THUNDER", it sounded great!! Seemed to have a whole new level of monster enthusiasm. A day that goes this well is pretty frightening. Now you feel you owe the gods of misfortune something for your good luck. I rather enjoyed today, disaster or no!! Thanks for the ride. (the second THUNDER was not as dramatic)
@Hyung Jun ft6h
DEF one of three ways to fix your problem. One replace nozzle with manual one or two remove filler screen inside tank or three get 3/8 rubber hose about 12 inches long and jam one end inside nozzle. Fill up through hose. This turns nozzle into a manual nozzle. Works every time.
Love watching the choreography of the harvesters, the grain cart, the trucks all done with that ease that demonstrates professionalism at a high level. Thank you. Very enjoyable.
Through all that the season has thrown at y’all, you’re getting it done & it’s looking good. Prayers out to you Johnsons! 👍😃🙏🏻💪🇺🇸🌽
Appreciate you not going off on the emissions problems, and I darn well hope they get better. Just not sure who they is.
Appreciate you and your family and neighbors sharing what ya do.
I can’t say for Ag equip, but semi trucks have gotten a TON better in the last couple/few years. Pre 2016 was a nightmare. 2016/17/18 was ok, but still some issues.
2019 and newer seems a ton better, regardless of engine manufacturer. Hopefully this starts to show on farm equip as well
If anyone thinks farming is easy, just watch a few of the Millennium Farmer vids. I have so much respect for farmers now and appreciative of what they do to feed America. Thanks Zach, Dad, Onyx, and Jim
Good point. I am farmer as well
Loved the video, your Dad recalling what his father taught him was an awesome ending. Enjoy being with your Dad each and every day. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Great video glad to see the children making memories you’ll never forget
Awesome video just awesome Zach. Thank you and you Dad and mom and everybody that helps to make your farm run good
Glad you had a good day really enjoy watching what you do on the farm.
Great summation of your conversations with Anaka!
Great video, thankful for uneventful harvests!
Grew up on a nebraska farm. When I heard you say "Yoos guys", about spit my coffee out. Hadn't heard that in a long time. Thems good memories.
Glad the day was easy for ya and no break downs I'm sure u made that little girls night riding in the combine
Love seeing these videos. Thanks for helping our future farmers Zach!
Mid October and he’s having mid-80 and mid-70 degree days. Use em, or lose em.
He used em up. 👍👍
Live here in Minnesota and this was a couple of days ago. Currently in the mid to low 40's. It's Minnesota and weather changes in a blink of the eye. I feel Indian summer as we call it here has come to a end. Colors are great now thou.
Zac I worked for a farmer for about 15 or so years. All my buddies. Oh yeah you get to ride in an A/C cab, nice comfortable seat. Just ride all day. That ain't hard to do. Like you said, they don't see the sun baring down on you fixing things. Digging a plugged plow or combine out. At work at 6 or 6:30 AM and still at it at midnight. Asking where you been the last few weeks? Harvesting or Planting or Plowing. Yeah in that A/C again. Real hard work. I told one buddy, Come ride with me for a day. I knew the next day was going to be a bad one, knowing what we had to do. I told him be at the barn by 7AM, and mind you we are starting late by that time. He got home about 1AM next day he called me at around noon. Dude I just got up. Told him I started at 6:30 again. LOL For some reason he never poked me anymore about riding in a A/C cab and corrected others when they would say something about it.
You and your dad have a dryer to tend with. We did not, I do not know anyone in our area that has a dryer not even our Grainary has one.
Zach...
OK, Booby. Just got to love Grammar Police.
Great vid, Zack. As a non farmer I look forward to your explaining different things that you think are boring but I am learning and find them interesting. You dpn't ever have to apologize for havin' a good day
A great conclusion to a good day. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.
You guys rock...love what you do ..keep up the great work...love the family aspect....
Glad it was a good productive day for y’all up north. We are almost done down near STL. We were more fortunate this year with weather. Hopefully you get that same weather luck next growing season
Glad you had an uneventful day 😊
Good to hear you had an uneventful day.... Glad harvest is going good this year...
Fact. ZVA dispensers ( that’s the fuel trigger assembly) has as previously mentioned a small hole at the bottom of the nozzle. It requires an amount of back pressure acting like a ventury to keep the nozzle open. If you raise the nozzle away from the filter you will find it flows freely. Failing that the nozzle will have a slight burr on the small ventury inlet. Also very dependant on pressure to dispense
You're getting all kinds of good help Zach..... does your heart good with help like that.
Looks like smooth sailing for you all as long as the rain stays away and the temps stay above average...my better half appreciated your cool ranch snack with the chili
Jim's little plug was pretty good lol. Loved the comment from your dad about parking the tractor lol.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. I do understand you comment on people saying how easy you job is. They just do not understand. Let them get a tractor out of the mud or on a freezing cold day trying to fix something in the field with a strong wind blowing. Been there done that. Need your gloves off to fix whatever but your hands are so cold without the gloves. Let some of these folks try it. Good comments Zach.
Jim’s ad comment at eating time was funny. Good going Jim.
You and your dad ant Jim really knocked some corn out on this video. Makes for a great harvest day when everything works and no break downs. You all moved right along today. Nice of that local group to bring food out to the field for you.
Not trying to tell you what to do but might you want to hold onto that small header. The old story is you never know when you might need it again. Stick it in the corner of a shed until needed again. Just saying.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks much.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
P.S. many thanks to Becky for editing.
Your dad is the coolest!
Geetings From The UK - Well Done Zac and family - "Up Wards & Onwards " Henry V
I like days when nothing breaks! And I'm sure that young lady enjoyed her combine ride!
It's always good have great conversations with the young. They have a wealth of information
Thanks for the vicarious farming experiences Zack!
All I ever got to do as a teenager was man a hay wagon for neighbors and catch flying bales launched from the baler in the August heat and humility...lol!
Six bucks a day plus lunch.
Had a 1153 j@m detach crossing a creek loaded
Pucker factor 9.9 outcome no lost grain repaired that day
Atta boy #7 grease is a good thing
Dem der 'uneventful' days are da bestest. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to make and post your videos, you probably don't feel it at the time but you're making thousands of people happy for 15 - 20 minutes. Good luck on your drive to 1 mil. :-)
Your dad is absolutely brilliant, reminds me so much of my father 👍👍
Get him to start taking a camera with him
Damn it Zach....... I'm a Farmer not a Greaser said Jim!!!!..........To boldly go where no man has gone before!!!!
Thanks for the video! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Your awesome buddy thanks for sharing and your 💯 with not taking out the screen it’s there for a very good reason
Good luck is the result of a prepared mind. Day with no problems no break down. I can see your preparation paying off.
Have a good one 🙂
The race car driver comment got me, thank you I needed that. And glad you had an uneventful, it's nice to have one of those every now and again so you feel like you got stuff done.👍
Farming makes me happy
Just found your videos. Great Job! Thanks for putting them on youtube.
We're all good with a regular day. Especially since your day and my day are very different. All good.
Zach keep farming an keep videos coming I wish I could b there to help good luck k hope everything goes well until u finish harvesting
it's cool the local kids love ur channel and wanna ride n the combine
Love the Annika conversation update. Miss when my girls were that age
Don’t ever be sorry for a smooth day of farming! Another great video.
"Thunderrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" never gets old! NEVER! hahahahaha
"Thunder II: the Sequel" hahahahahaha This is why yours is the best farming channel to watch!
that screen on the DEF tank is just to keep the big stuff out. there's still a really fine screen on the pickup tube, plus the filter in the DEF pump. wouldn't hurt too much to pull the screen
Same thing was happening on our case 185 puma and case 6140 combine with those def screens. I was scared to pull them too but after 3 years of standing there clicking off I gave up and pulled them lol. Can’t wait for my DEF repair bill but at least I can fill up fast now 😂
We have the same the issue with DEF and our filter. I’ve learned to point it upward and only half squeeze the gun….seems to help:)
When u asked Ana where is she my youngest son goes she must be at the neighbors seeing her boyfriend. That's cool u have people bring u food. My wife or my mom always did or neighbors would if they see me working on the field's. And they would bring me what ever they had for supper. I have no idea how many times my dad and uncles backed the combines up to the semi's trailer's or even building's. Dunno how my uncle backed into the side of the storage shed.
That was a great talk about Anica.
That’s crazy last season I was getting filled and the other buggy driver backed into are new new Holland lol
Anna is such a faithful friend!!!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it..
Your dad talking about something his dad said made me think about my dad, Thanks.
Love your videos Zach. Keep up the great work.
i am happy for yall to have good day myself i hate seeing when a farmer has troubles guess that comes from 22 years and a hired farmhand
Awesome to see the time given to make life memories for some youth.👍🏼
Uneventful days are good. Maybe not the greatest for content. However, I could watch y’all do nothing but harvest for a 20 minute video and still be entertained.
Great, I love watching every video of you, I am from Serbia and I would like to come to you and learn a different approach to agriculture
Thank you for all the videos
Great Millennial Farmer Video, thanks for sharing
NOW IT FEELS LIKE HARVEST WITH THE DAILY UPDATES, we still need some Cab Corn also!!!! Keep up the outstanding work.
Shhhh....
@Hyung Jun GET THE FUDGE OUT! LEAVE US ALONE!!!
Once again what a great video I hope maybe there are videos in the winter months love this channel
Another great video by the master thanks very much and best of luck on the crop intake and $$$$.
Enjoying harvest videos!!! Jim needs a camera with him too. Of course, the editor may go insane trying to bleep Jim's adjectives and exclamations... LOL
“ you getting this pig greased?” 🤣🤣🤣
Nate and Jim seem like really nice guys, well Zack to, lol, thanks for the videos!!!
Thank you for all the videos makes my day 😊👍
Ahh yes!!! The, "Thunderrrrrr", never gets old.😁
Been dealing with all the fun def issues with my 2012 F250. I can only imagine how much more of a cluster it would be on these newer mechiens.
so impressed with your attitude of getting tthru problems!!
No, thank you guys for making a video for us. Its much appreciated.
Keep up the great work love the videos! Stay safe.
Your dad is a funny guy. Grandpa told me some stories similar to your guyses. All the older farmers are just the same 😅
'fun little observation for yous guys'. Damn, I miss Minnesota.
Keep up the good work.
It wont be long and it will be the frozen tundra again
The DEF tank issue is for sure the screen/filter crystallizing our new s760 is doing the same thing when the def gets low it is worse so what we found don't let the tank get very low. Hope this helps you love watching your channel and enjoy seeing the family in the videos. Thank you
9:00 stretch break, Becky. Smack him!, lol. Ohhhh the not so hidden inuendos! Ya killin me.
I would love to see what good ole Jim does in his cart tractor when you all are running the combines.
Working for yourself you can take pride in what you do. Way better than working for the man. Love the videos. Can't wait to get to my little 6 acre spot in the Poconos and work on my stuff.
