    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.

    Referring back to your last video with electrical breaker tripping. Where I was employed we had annually checked all our breaker panels with infrared heat camera. We had an electrical contractor remove panel covers and photograph each panel, hot spots would show up as weak breakers, loose connections, and other preventive goodies 😉... we had over 500 panels 🤣 120 volt to 1200 volt. Took 2 weeks to complete checks.

    There is a special set of values I think you acquire growing up on a farm. My folks had a small dairy farm when I was young. I was too young to run much of the equipment, but I spent a lot of time with and watching my dad solve everyday problems without running to town for a new part. If nothing else, I learned to think about work-arounds....and to have tons of patience. Enjoy your summer,,,, and family. They grow up so fast.

    They don’t get much more frugal than me, but power tarps and openers on your trailers are an essential time management, force multiplier. So is AC in your shop! If you ever make it to N. Central Illinois, I’d love to show you my 2 story shop built out of concrete with spancrete and fully air conditioned. built into a hillside. I worked in the dirt for over a decade after turning my old shop into a milling facility. I’m real proud of her! New grain system also. I’m high on the hog.

    Only visited grandpa's farm - never lived on one. But it was some of the best 'fun'. Helping around the place - riding on the tractor when young. Later driving one while turning hay for him. Sad to see it now - nothing left of the farm but a huge subdivision. Only thing left is the county cemetery across the street where part of a movie was filmed at. (Harry and Tonto Art Carney 1974) Take care - be safe, hope the family and you are doing well.

It has been a huge learning curve for me but so worth bringing up our four kids with all the stuff they get to see and do every day. We also have one of the largest 4H groups in our county with over 80 youth. Love your content and videos Zach. Always look forward to each video. Thanks.

    It's dry here south of Fergus Falls also. We are starting to see the stress on the corn & beans. You can really see some damaged fields when you go south of us. We had .75 inches of rain a couple of weeks ago & not a drop since. Not much chance in the forecast for the next 10 days either. 90's most days too. I hope we can all get some rain soon to turn things around.

    From a Turf and Agricultural Manager, its always best to switch up chemicals, use 3 or 4 fungicides and rotate them. Same with herbicides and other chemicals. Plants and grasses get use to the same chemical and it becomes less effective or doesnt last as long.
