    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.

      Any agricultural crop including grapes is like that some years we get a lot of grapes and make more wine other years we lose a lot of grapes and get low yields, it sucks when they are down cause we lose revenue on a 1x a year harvest.

    Hey Zach! So far I’ve watched 1:35 of this episode and as an Agricultural Millwright who works on a crew that assembles, installs and maintains grain legs and other grain moving equipment…. I’d recommend some automatic greasers or grease cups for the top of your leg, also to check the oil level and clarity in your gearbox!

      @@leemarchant7191 they are automatic grease dispensers you can install on a large bearing such as the ones on the top of his leg. They slowly feed the bearing grease over time. They basically make it so the top is always getting grease and you never have to go grease it during season, just change them out once a year

    • @dangerrangerlstc

    Go get your 22 inch row cornhead again, you know that 1 you had and sold cuz you didn't think that you would use it again, anyway go get it put on your combine and cut your down corn at the angle. Then plant some Becks corn next year, to help alleviate that issue.
