    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.

The farms we smaller anywhere from 100 acres to 300 so there were a lot of farmers in the area. It's great to see a modern day version of that. You are a good man Zac Johnson and I always enjoy your videos.

    Thank you for featuring Farm Rescue. I'd never heard of them before. I'm from NH... not a farmer, but I milked cows by hand and did general farm work when I was young and those were some of the best days in my life. When I see how our government and other countries treat farmers, it's clear that our farms and future farmers are our future. At 75, I think the best way I can help is to see what I can scrape together and donate to Farm Rescue.
    Watching your channel gives me a break from the insanity in the world and gives me hope for the future. God bless you.

    So glad everyone was safe and took the proper precautions I am now 54 years old and live in the mid northern Indiana region, back in the big tornado outbreak of 1974, our house took a direct hit from an F5 tornado, i was 5 years old, we did not have a basement and I was literally sucked up into it when our house exploded. Thankfully from neighbors, I was found about 300 yards out in the middle of one of our corn fields and taken to a hospital about an hour away and remained in a coma for 3 days. Thank you to all who come together for families in need.

    I am one of the people that doesn’t know about farming and how it works. I love the videos that are now available for teaching.
    Farm Rescue….what a great thing for the farming disasters that happen on the farm.

    What a great Organization. They are there to help anyone in need, this helps keep the farmers going when things seem like they can’t get any worse. Kudos to the Organization and all of the volunteers that make this possible.

    Farm Rescue is an amazing organization. They helped a farm family in our area when one of the brothers was diagnosed with cancer. Congratulations on a 1000 rescues & there will be many more I'm sure.

    You guys are amazing! I live in the farming district of Ohio and I know first hand what the land and crops mean to our neighbors. Thank you all for what you do to keep America strong! Thanks MF for posting this. Few city people know where their food comes from beyond the store. Awareness is So important! Thanks!

    Out of adversity comes strength and that was demonstrated so much in this, possibly your best video to date Zach. What humanity, what generosity of spirit, time and energy. All of you in this wonderful act of support and togetherness are an example of what we all can be. I, like many possibly are, am humbled by this. Hats off to you and Farm Rescue and good luck to Mr Pifer ( I hope that's correct)and his family in getting back on his feet, and thanks for sharing this with us.

    One of your very best episodes of the Millenial Farmer...and that is saying a LOT! Thank you, Zach, for making the trip, for being there, for being a part of Farm Rescue, for caring and doing all that you do. We watched you lose a grain bin, shed and some equipment and like so many people in farm country you picked up and kept on going. Thank you for the perspective that is SO familiar in farm country...neighbor helps neighbor no matter what! Farm Resuce helping 1,000 farms in 18 years demonstrates the great need. This episode was deeply moving and satisfying. I LOVED that no one was talking about FEMA and government intervention...it was farmer touching farmer ane solving a problem. This is how we eat and we MUST not take it for granted!

    I'm glad to see that places like Farm Rescue exist and flourish, and even happier to see the fruits of their labors. Too many people see stories like this on the news and think that "oh - they have insurance, they will be fine", not understanding that yes, they may have insurance, but it could take years before that check is in the bank. My mom was born and grew up in the Wheat Fields of the Columbia Basin here in Washington, and I remember hearing stories of farmers that had something devastate their crop and how surrounding farmers did what they could to chip in and help out in those times, so your spreading the word like this is awesome. Every little bit of light shown on these events hopefully raises awareness just a little bit more.

    Way to go Zach - keep promoting and helping Farm Rescue, their roots of helping others go back through generations of farmers. My father did the same thing, helping neighbors around his farm, 60 years ago.

    One of your best UA-cam videos yet Zach!! What a great organization Farm Rescue is both for providing aid to farmers in need and for showcasing, along with you Zach, the true spirit of the American farmer! To listen to Brad Pifer label himself as "lucky" after describing what he and his family had been through is just incredible!! Thanks Zach!!😊😊

    Wow, thank G-d they weren't harmed, mr. pifer really looked choked up a bit describing this, and it choked me up. Farm rescue is such a good organisation, and you driving down to promote their work on this channel was really great as well. Right around the time this happened to him, we were hit with a heavy rain storm that froze overnight, and i can say it was a scarry sound hearing large tree's breaking all around us. I was thankful to the Lord that i suffered only a hole in my roof from a tree limb that hit it, same thing happened to my barn. We lost power for several day's, but some of my neighbor's had major damage, some still not fixed. Anyone who has this kind of weather devastation knows how it is. Zach, you got it bad last year, you just don't know when it could be you. G-d bless.
