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 fact you took the time to thank the people that made this video possible for the “viewers” I appreciate it, the fact I can watch this with my son and we can learn together, then I can tune in and listen to Off The Husk and laugh my ass off drinking some cold beer. Then between the rows channel where me and my kids can enjoy moments your family generously share with the world not to mention you drive fast sometimes on a dirt track. I feel like I owe y’all a couple cases of beer for the laughs and family times I’ve gotten from your channels.
Thank you!
I agree sir, well said. Zach is always appreciative of various types of farming he gets to experience!
Love this, so true!
agreed
Since fertilizer is blocked from coming in from Russia to USA due to sanctions, what do you think of boats and trucks bringing in kelp from the oceans, lakes, and rivers to use as fertilizer for farmers this Spring?
A huge "Thank You" to Becky for editing and posting these videos. Every Millennial Farmer actor needs a producer and video editor as well.
Can't do any of it without a great editor!
Randy has a knack of appearing unassuming and modest yet is full of knowledge and razor sharp wit
Speaking for myself this is one of many reasons I subscribe to the many farming channels the brother hood between the farming community most everyone will help or inform the next farming family keep up the great work informing the rest of us always great day to learn something new
Appreciate the kind words!
This trip was absolutely fasinating as a person who is going to school to pursue Agriculture I had absolutely no clue all this existed out there it's absolutely mind blowing there is that much diversity of what they do out there thanks so much to everyone involved with this
California is an amazing place. Unfortunately the densely populated cities there ruin it for the rest of the state.
I would like to thank ALL of the people that volunteered the time to show there operation.
As a Minnesota county boy, I have learned SO much about farming from Zack. And now learning even more about farming in different parts of the country so awesome.
Growing a(l)monds by grafting onto peach roots, blows my mind.
Thank you zack for sharing with me and the world.
Thanks Mrs. Johnson for the editing job. Entertaining and educational tour, thanks. Here, in the Imperial Valley ,where the sun spends the winter, 500,000 acres are farmed year round below sea level.
When they built the water diversion around Breckenridge MN there were 2-3 four wheel drives in that 400 horse range pulling double pans scrapers in the black gumbo they didn't have any problems filling them ....direct mount scrapers load nice. I'd guess there's some being used now on the Fargo diversion project too.
One thing comes through in all these videos to an urbanite like myself. After 77 years I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about farming.
Farmers are awesome!
Thank you for the kind words! Getting comments from "urbanites" reminds me of the reasons I started this channel
Excellent series Zach, I would welcome more. Ryan is a very funny, entertaining and knowledgeable farmer. He would be an ideal and hilarious fourth member for your trips. I think you forgot to thank the one that did an amazing job editing the videos. So I will, brilliant job Becky!
Interesting to see you tour California agriculture, particularly the San Joaquin Delta area. Those islands are essentially reclaimed marsh land which is very rich and surrounded by water. The early ag pioneers built levees to keep the natural flooding out, pumped them dry and cleared the land. As you stated, many of them are actually below sea level, particularly as you travel west toward San Francisco and Suisun bay. There are two rivers that keep the salt water out, the San Joaquin and the Sacramento. It is an intricate system that has to be kept in balance by dredging and levee maintenance. Those soils are very deep from many thousands of years of natural vegetation decomposing from the annual flood/drying cycles. As the person you were talking to pointed out, they can grow many different crops there.
The interesting thing is how the whole delta is actually inland in the central valley and then the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers merge on the west end and empty into the bay in one channel at the Carquinez straits.
Great waterfowl area too.
The Central Valley is the king of crops. From Elk Grove to Bakersfield just about every row crop you can think of is grown not counting all of the nut crops. Been my home for 72 years and lovin it.

Shasta, Oroville and Sites Soon(back pumped into reservoir)
Great job!!! Enjoyed your trip very much.....I am 70 years old and learnt a lot about California....Thank You. I enjoy you site very much...Gary
Great video and yes California has many different areas that farm. My uncles had plum orchards and garlic and cotton farms in Hollister and Gilroy CA. Most was sold off to big tech when they started buying everything up in the central valley.
Early Spring 2023, let's make it a "date". You'll need a new box by then. Let's finish that valley. Randy and Trevor are a must along with Ryan, too much fun to waste. Agricultural technology we just aren't privy to. Can you imagine the production costs on a show put together by a network that could compare to the quality of that trip. Congrats.
This is awesome. An MN farmer educating me on all the farming that happens so close to home…I’m east of there in Sonora Ca area. “Mother Lode” country.
Half my family are Californians but not in ag. I lived many places there while Dad was career Navy. There are great folks there who aren't in the news or IMHO radicalized, either way. This trip reminded me... Thank You guys!
This was a great series. For your next one I'm thinking Florida for orange harvest. Georgia for peaches and peanuts. Maybe see potatoes in Idaho. Wheat harvest on one of those big rolling hill farms in Montana/Idaho, etc. Anything besides corn and soybeans please! 🤣 Also, would love to see the differences between an organic farming operation and a conventional one.
Could also add cotton & pecans to the peaches & peanuts in either Alabama or Georgia - though cotton & peanut harvest might start to overlap with corn & soybean harvest in MN.
I'd wager it'd also offer a different perspective on corn as most of the corn fields I've seen in northern Alabama look to be planted on 12-ish inch rows vs the wider 28in common in other parts of the country. There's also a growing number of vineyards/wineries....
@@joshuapreusser2265 Yes! Cotton is huge near where I used to live in Lubbock, TX and pecans were near where my parents lived in southern AZ. Good suggestions!
if he needs some content with peanuts or cotton in south ga he better holler at me🤣
Be awesome to see all the trees being planted. Ty for showing us around.
Thanks for the CA videos… It was great to meet all three of you and talk to you in Tulare. I’m a fifth generation farmer on a Robert’s Island. You were just a couple of miles from my farm when you visited the rice ground. Hope you come back soon!
Thanks for taking us with you to California!! Really enjoyed it and very informative so again thanks!!!
Really enjoyed these videos, what an eye opener to the varied produce we take for granted wherever we live, and the work that is done to provide it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of California farming country. I was stationed 1968-1970 at a now closed Air Force base near Atwater, California. Being a farm boy from Iowa I always felt at home in the San Joaquin Valley. Great people in that area.
Thank you everyone involved!
You guys did a great job showing California ag. You three are hilarious together. The California Farmer is a great guy as well. I know we would love to see you go other areas like FL, TX, LA, Canada, etc showing Ag cuz too many people just don't know. I know y'all learned new things as well.
It wad a blast! We learned a ton and would love to go more place again next winter.
Kates ag is the best channel for seeing that
They need to visit Mike Mitchell from Saskatchewan Canada he farms a ton and is a funny guy!!
Thanks for showing the rest of the country that there’s more to California than politics, “silicon valley”, and Hollywood! The are a lot of good Americans that staying right here and Making California Great Again. 🇺🇸
I learned a long time ago that the people west of the Mississippi do things bigger than we do. They also still do a lot more on a handshake and a promise giving young farmers a legitimate shot at making it happen. It's great to see that still happens
Love the chemistry you guys have! These videos are so entertaining, yet you are educating and spreading the love of the land!
Thank you so much so very interesting I've watched it twice now. Move from the cornfields of Nebraska To the cattle grazing here in the Ozarks Fun to see what a diverse country we have And such nice people.
Thanks guys for these videos. I'm 68 and learned a bunch about their farming practices. It is really cool
Huge thanks to everyone as well.
Great series. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and I'm happy you all made it home safe. Big thanks to Becky for the great editing, you rock.
Appreciate you and those you collaborate with for the content you produce (UA-cam, Off the husk, and Between the Rows). Love farming/ranching, and enjoy getting to connect with the heart of America's farm/ranch families, albeit vicariously. I enjoy it and hope to see you continue to grow these formats so all can have an appreciation for what it takes to feed people well. All the best to you and your families.
Wow, I'm so impressed with this series, I have to say I really learned a lot watching and have a better appreciation for anyone that works the land. You really don't know what goes on behind the scenes when you enter your local supermarket. I want to say thank you to all of the farmers out there, who are underappreciated and really keep this and other countries fed. Thank you very much.
That "ball flicking" scene was hilarious ! Nice job on the whole trip!
I gave up too soon.
@@BalesHayFarmandRanch next time talk with a lisp as approaching the bull. When in Rome……..
LOL-- You guys are awesome together(" boys will be boys")!
California born and raised moved away from the big city of San Diego a coupld of years ago way different and my opinion better living. Glad you had good visit. just hope we can save this state from the crazies!!
Great western swing videos! Awesome to see all the diverse AG we have in this country. 🇺🇸
All of the California videos were fun to watch. Thank you for taking us along and a thank you to all the folks you've thanked for letting the cameras inside their operations to see what's going on.
I LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA WE ARE STILL WITH YOU THANKS
Come up to West Central NY sometime during the spring and see the cabbage and sweet corn operation. I'm sure a lot of it is similar to you guys out there when it comes to beans and corn but I know there are some differences. You can hangout with me at our IBA dairy supplies dealer and I have contacts for other types of farming you could tour too. Could even go up to see the NYFG again and tour their place probobly I know they are very hospitable people.
That was quite amazing, you don’t realise how much work goes into planting orchard up, great interviews with the owners 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank God for the under-appreciated Hispanic people willing to work on American farms. I'm retired from farming now......but I've watched how low wage Hispanic workers and technology have make big agriculture possible for the current generation. Please be a better steward of both the land and the people who make a living from it.
This is my first time I think commenting all I have to say is I think you should thank Becky for all the support and help she gives you that's my opinion
Thanks all involved
Zack thanks for sharing your videos with me cuz you and the people you travel with are great
What I find interesting is how deep the soil is!
Zack thank you sir for marking great content for us to watch awesome info too
Honestly glad you were able to make it out. I’m not too far away from Farmington so hearing that you were close made me feel really good that you were able to meet some fantastic people here is California. No we are not all what is said about Californians and their is still so much beautiful country here.
Awesome week! Thanks so much for leaving your family and taking us along!!!
Thank you for the laughs along with the educational content. I'd also like to mention that we have family in Starbuck, MN. Keep the video coming. We are watching!!!!
It was awesome that you guys were in my neighborhood.. I'm in Indio.. watching your channel for many years now.. I actually learned quite a bit watching the videos.. hope you can come out this way again..
The Tiger Salamander problem , I'd be very willing to bet a new neighbour who moved to the country doesn't want farming in the area , it happens all over !
We are all still with you, thank you for this episode, it has been a lot of fun to follow you through this trip.
Stay safe, see you in the next one
Thanks so much for leaving your family and taking us along!!! Wow!!
That guy needs his own UA-cam channel! He gave great info
Great Series and videos to all who contributed to this project Zack and Randy. California is a true wonder that will always be in trouble with the do-gooders, but I cherish the younger generation of you gentleman and the generations behind you, to keep what we have built before you! Best of Wishes to all of you and Zack please be aware of Becky coming in to the room with her fingers clinched back looking for the One Hundred Dollars!
Watching these videos are very entertaining to an old fart like me but my 14 yearold son watch your videos also and it's such a learning tool also. So much info for kids who ask questions and wonder what grows where. I am very appreciative to the amount of knowledge you and all those you talk with pass along. Keep it up folks.
I love Trevor's humor. He's a great sidekick for you and Randy. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for the new video Zach. I really appreciate all of the content lately. It makes me happy when I see the notification for your videos. Sending 60 degree weather from Texas. Thanks again Zach
Talk about perfect timing. I just got back to San Diego from driving up to the Delta to go fishing this past weekend. I seen all of the newly planted almond trees by the highway and was wondering how the heck they planted them. Now I know.
Next time check out the coastal valleys. South Santa Clara valley, mushrooms in Morgan Hill, garlic in Gilroy. The Pajaro valley has berries in Watsonville, the Salinas valley has everything...lettuce, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, wineries in Paso Robles.
Awesome to see you again . Nice Randy Keep up the Great Job.
Hit the nail right on the head with the ending of video on everything that is in California. My wife's family still dairy farms out there and it blows my mind everytime we go out there on the diversity of agriculture in that state. Nothing like Wisconsin that's for sure! Keep up the great work!!
Idk how else to put it but I really appreciate it Zach, thanks for the content the knowledge and the laughs, keep it up.
Any future trips must require the 3 of you for sure. Amazing, Funny, and educational
These videos that you have made in California have been very informative. It is amazing how they grow what they grow. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks Zach and company. I did find it interesting on how there ag is so spread. To think trees that grow things as a real crop is hard to get your head around here in mn. I really enjoyed where dates came from. Had no idea they came from Palm trees. Thanks guys
Out here, good orchard ground is a battle with corn farmers, and runs a pretty steep price! But our best areas roll just like yours there. Our farmers add propane turbines too that heat the air and circulate it to keep buds from getting frosted in the spring.
Thank you Zach, lovely to see such diverse agriculture from other side of the world. (UK) Nice to enjoy the videos and learn new things.
You need to see Eastern Washington, The Rolling hills of the Palouse, for hillside combining, The Yakima Valley for Hops and Apples..And the Columbia Basin for Irrigated hay and more potatoes than anywhere in the country! Great stories..
Great meeting you, been a sub since 15k. It’s always nice to meet the guys you follow and they are just as funny and genuine as they come off on their videos. Edward Tilma is his name my cousin and business partner at E&J Farming. Appreciate you not filming me spraying and Trevor is still a child.
Thanks for taking us with you.
Thanks! I loved these videos. I learned more about farming in California then I've ever known before. It is a beautiful state.
Zach, thanks for your visit to California. I enjoyed the videos and I learned a lot. Suggestion: let us know where you actually are (location) on the ground when shooting so we can get some idea . I live in S Cal and I could not figure out where you were. The almond farm for example, might have been referenced as about 20 miles east of Stockton, thanks to a casual reference by your host. Down in the Coachella valley, I'm not sure there was any geographic reference to the date farm. BTY those date trees are from the MIddle East, I believe. Good job shooting, asking very good questions (all of you), and listening to your farm hosts explanations. You guys did not know these crops, but naturally honed in on key elements - harvesting, planting, pollination, yield, soil, water, weather, bees etc. Sharp. And your Video Editor. Excellent.
I have watched your vlogs formany years and rarely comment. However, I have thouroughly enjoyed farming, planting, harvesting, manintainances films. These Caliifornia vlogs have been quite a learning experiance, learning how Pistachios, almonds, etc. are grown using Grafted Peach Trees, etc. I also enjoy the many funny comments & episodes. All well done.
🚜 🚜 🚜 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜 🚜 🚜
You need to make this a series. Different types of farming is very interesting. Travel around the country with the boys. I’m sure you have plenty of time.
Was a great series of video's. Great to see how everything is done out there. A friend use to live on one of those 'islands'. Next to the levee, hard to believe how tall it was. Thank you for making the content. Hope the crew, family and you are doing well. Take care - Be safe. PS cannot wait for spring planting and nice weather. Was 60+F yesterday and woke up to 2 inches of snow this morning.
Enjoyed this , thank you for allowing us to take the tour with you.
My uncle had a huge farm out in woodland.
Crazy how far ahead of us that state is in ag technology
That video was funny as hell !!!! You three in vegas would be like the real life version of the hangover 🤣🤣🤣.
Zach i loved this series, I hail from the Central Valley, Oakdale. Never knew about the driving of the sheep back in the day! Thanks again for throwing a spotlight on California AG. 🤘🏻🇺🇸
Thanks to you and the group. I was realy nice to see some of the more in depth aspects of farming out there.
Great tour series! I really enjoyed it! On a side note, I didn't realize how tall John Bos is, until he was standing next to Trevor!
THANK YOU for making these videos! We need to get people back into farming. It's vital.
Great 👍 video . I worked on a almond farm in Australia I operated a cat d10 building ponds for the farm we also had a case 485 tractor and scraper very similar to this farm. I enjoyed the time you put in to video very well explained 👏
This was VERY interesting, and Entertaining! Loved this whole little series. Nice work, Guys!
Born and raised in oakdale and currently live 45 miles east of stockton up hwy 4 through Farmington. I drive by lagorios twice a day lol Very cool to see you guys in my neck of the woods.
Great video Zach and Becky. Always hilarious when you get together with the Master Pipe Layer and the Bale Stacker! Very informative.
Great video. Lived here all my life 'cept 2 years military.
And I learned something new; the below sea level islands in the central valley.
TDF Honest Farming would be a fun trip I’d enjoy watching.
Chet with a 600 quad and one leveler trying to make it through the gumbo agrees with your hypothesis!
Awesome series and thanks to all the contributors. I do have to say most of those folks fit in pretty well with these three crazy people. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for doing this. As a farmer getting away from home is a must , even if we do it on youtube.
Very interesting trip. Looked like you guys had a lot of fun
He went so fast in that sprayer that he went back to the future, came back and told them what kind of harvest they were going to have!
Nice to see the trees going in. I wish them great success
It was a pretty awesome set of videos. I enjoyed every minute
I work with those D6T’s every day, awesome pieces of kit. Never gets boring watching them work, especially with a skilled operator at the controls !
Well done! I'm 64 and until a year ago it's all been in CA. If your looking for suggestions for another trip. South to north starting with Ventura County and head up the 101 fwy for a coastal tour. From Strawberries, Citrus and Avocados to wineries, onions and mushrooms.
Thanks for the positive words about California. I am not a farmer but I am aware of what can be accomplished in this state. There is much to like here. It's not only stupid politicians and nut jobs. Thanks again from a California native. Also thanks for not using the reference "Cali".
Thanks for another great video of the California trip. It was most interesting and enjoyable. Lots of great content.
First of all. I huge huge thank you to Becky for editing all of this. I am sure the guys gave you all kinds of clips and you organized and put them together to make sense.
Sincere appreciation Becky!!!!! You made it work.
Wow. Thanks for taking us along. We saw so much agriculture in California thru your trip. Was so interesting seeing all the different types of farming there.
Quite the trip. So different from us Midwest farmers.
Thanks to Zach and Randy and Treavor and all the connections you made in California.
About it for now. I will be quiet now.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
A very lighthearted interesting series. Good job. Never boring and highly educational.
