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.

I always loved it when he sets the camera down still recording, and you here the good ole Jim and his dad add commentary to Zach as he is working. Those guys are priceless.
Old guys have paid their dues lol
Glad to see Jim back, hope this year goes well!
Good to see Jim back !! Haven't seen him in far too long !! "O" rings are supposed to be round - NOT all tore up with parts missing. Hey Zach, your son continues to amaze me with his capabilities !!
He's certainly got to be very helpful on the farm !!
Good young man, Onyx !!
I love seeing onyx being involved in the farm hopefully we see him spraying, and combining more this year.
Good to see your dad and Jim becoming a lot more comfortable with the camera!! Always enjoy there humor!!
If there’s one thing I know about an o-ring, it’s that you can tell it’s blown out by the way that it is!
As someone that has seen someone get cut by spraying hydraulic fluid I winced when he put his hand on the hoses when you were checking for the leak.
Yeah, wtf!
I agree. I was waiting for him to put on the face shield at the very least, because injection is a very serious injury. Two weeks ago, a friend of mine had an injection accident with his pressure washer, putting several ounces of water into the back of his hand, and fortunately didn't damage any tendons or nerves.
My dad did last year two weeks before vacation so he tried as hard as possible to make it and he just sat on the balcony watching us in the water the whole time😂
Also it broke his finger and still isn’t healed back
@@arthouston7361 injecting water is painful and may damage/cut internals. Injecting hydraulic fluid leads to necrotic tissue and amputation
You have to appreciate the actor playing Zach stayed in character and called himself a real farmer.
hhahahahaha
Hi, i am from India and i am also a farmer here. I have been watching your videos for the last few months and i absolutely love the content. Most of the agri equipment you use is new to us. We Indian farmers don't use such a big tractor, or even equipment. It's like a new technology for Indian farmers. So thank you for sharing the vlog with all the information. I wish you success for your Agriculture and also for the TH-cam channel.
Jim almost always ends an opening statement with a chuckle. You gotta love his character 👍
Always a good day when millennial farmer uploads!
I'm a farmer who lives in the suburbs. Each morning as I travel outward to work, people start to wave. In the city, no one waves. In the rural areas, everybody waves to each other. I'm yet to completely nail down where the waving starts and stops, but it sure feels nice when someone you don't know, or maybe do know, gives you a wave as you pass by.
I'm convinced humans were not meant to live in cities. It destroys us.
No doubt when most corporate bureaucracy gobbling up property all across this country, then building high density housing and debt slave factories with crap for wages and benefits. Hmm sounds like China.
We all are decent & respectful when we want to be. But unfortunately we tend to put on this false persona when commuting in the inner cities. Like we're trying to fit in on some B/S. Truly sad !!!
Good to see Jim back , hope he is keeping better now.
I have a friend who's father lost his eyesight in both eyes from a hydraulic leak sprayed into his eyes. I implore you to put on safety glasses. You have a fine family who needs you. I was an auto technician and shop owner for 55 years and I can't tell you how many times my glasses saved me. Just saying!
As a AG dealer tech I was cringing. Always put glasses on when looking for a hyd leak. It ain’t worth it
@@kylehalderman6210 I buy a half dozen sets every year. With cheaters to read small stuff. Have destroyed 3 pair where they likely saved my eyes. A battery exploded as I hooked jumper cable. (Ok wiggled to check connection) a tornado debris, and a firearm failure)
I had a tech blow a mostly frozen battery in his face. No glasses. He dove headfirst into the snowbank….
@@brianvarner dad was in pickup. I keep old, cleaned milk jugs of water (often with dish soap) in truck bed. I dumped on my face, got in bed of pickup, told dad “drive to well, get water in hose” I flooded face, body with water, stripped to boxers. Then my cloths in washer, me in shower. Barely a mark. Plus a hour later I could hear again. Loudest thing I can recall.
I'll be wearing glasses from now on!
@ 6:12, Dang The Big Swede was a little far from home wasn’t he?😂😂
thought the same thing lol
That description of what an O ring should look like was priceless! Good to see Jim back!
Nm m g B h h unkkk m I😊
Hi Zach. Your father and Jim are top-notch A no.1 gents.
Always nice to see Jim. Hey Jim!
Jim saying “ain’t that a son of a bitch” had me rolling @ 10:44 😂😂😂😂
Always have a good day when MF uploads. God bless our farmers 🙏
Zach, I have learned a lot about farming watching your channel since I did it 40yrs. ago with equipment that was no where near efficient as what you are using today. International/ Farmall & Oliver tractors are what we used in Pennsylvania thank you!
we used a ford, case, farmall and fiat alles
Thanks for another great video.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Good fix on that planter oil leak. Those o rings can be very hard to replace. You are lucky you could see the leak much less be able to get to it and put a new o ring in. Wash it off with the power washer now.
You did good on that one. Terrible place to get into.
Busy time with everything going on. Keep at it.
Take care and be safe everyone.
Thanks for everything Zach and dad and Jim and onyx and Becky. Wow.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Good one, Zack. Nice to see Jim and all. Wishing and praying for a great year for farmers.
Cherish these days with those two Zach.
Catdog is sure hanging in there - must have a few extra lives (Lol)
Jim, the legend.
The o-ring shape comments were priceless. I saw it and thought "that's a q-ring, not an o-ring".
I enjoy ths very much and i am watching from South Africa
Good for you man, a true farmer doesn't quite untill the job is done. And you sir a a real farmer.
I grew up on a farm and then worked for a few farmers working with crops and then a couple of custom hay farmers.
The need….,, for seed hilarious Zach🤣🤣
You could use an olight swivel with its magnetic swivel and really bright light. I dropped mine in oil and I just wiped it off and kept going. Love your channel…
Zach, we had to tighten every plug on our planter during year 2. We marked the plugs and 2 leaked again this year, number 3. One came out without a wrench. Amazing what constant hydraulic pressure can do.
Haha Zachs dad “ I’ll go watch the back”
Zach “it’s going to be a real mess…..”
Zachs dad cryptic question … “ you want me to run the tractor or watch the leak”
Zach “ I’ll watch the back “
I’m
I always remember the video where you explained you and your dads way of communicating where he will ask you the question / offer to do something , but what that actually means is you’re suppose to do it lol
Good catch 😂
We run a Case IH 1200 planter. Had the exact same issue this year. O ring went out on that block and sprayed all over.
Whew. Them two were close to being bit. Bless them.
This episode reminded me a lot of working with my popop lol, he just wants to help but sometimes a lot of questions gets to you but the level of respect shown is amazing
In all perspectives of this upload ,it really reminds me alot about my mom😊 I really appreciate them for the work they have done so far ,,keep up the good work millennial.
I'd love to know you better that's only if you don't mind leaving me a reply
Great example of farmers fixing things 👍
It’s a great feeling when you can fix a problem with out great expense
Another great video!!! Goodnight Catdog.
We really enjoy the videos. I am fascinated by the technology on your equipment!
Simple Green is my favorite solution for cleaning up an oily mess. Works well with cold water. Used to use it on my motorcycle engine. Cleans like a champ - Simple Green and a garden hose.
Zach im glad you had a better day than me! Tweeked out Tuesday had all our air conditioning out most of the morning. I would have traded jobs with you today. Be safe and stay oily my friend.
Always a good day when you post a vid much love from belgium
Always gotta have a few adventures during planting season. A day without any problems makes you wonder what tomorrow will bring!!!
Good Job! There is a certain feeling when you fix a problem like that which you need to experience to Know the feeling.When it doesn't work out so well there is also another feeling...
Thank you very much
You always make my day a little bit better thank you
Yep, Nice to see Jim, missed him.
Hopefully, the weather and your equipment will allow you to get your crops planted. 👍🏻to a great season on the Farm….
Heck, I'll move out there and help out. I've watched so many videos in sure I could do everything you need
When you have equipment there is always things that happen to them and you found it and fixed it fairly quickly. Keep up the good work!!!
Crazy how i stumbled across a harvest video from like 2019 and never missed a video since. Love the content.
For a second I thought that floater was the big Swede 😂
Zack, just a note. Standard o-rings are durometer 70A, for anything over 1000psi you need to get harder ones, durometer 90A, ever harder depending on your system pressure. Putting in a standard 70A o-ring will work for a short time but it will fail. I hope you have the correct kits on hand.
"You can tell by the way it is...". Still the best line ever.
hey! millennial farmer, i heard you on my radio while i was feeding cows. i thought it was pretty cool. keep up the good work!!!
Zach, your commentary is always THE best (that's what SHE said!) !!!
When I delivered groceries for Aldis in the midwest ! Good was hard to find. .Also hard work is good exercise..
It’s amazing what one bad O-ring will do. I have a bobcat 763, and on one of the control valves it blew out talk about a mess.
I love when you Talk to Cat Dog😂
Hey Zach, You remind me of when I'd be working with my Dad. Biting your tounge is well worth it. My Dad has passed now and I miss him.
I love how your dad always says "oh" when something breaks
Raise Your hand if u been watching him for a while ✋
✋🏻
🤚
🤚🏼
✋️
🎥👨🔧🗣 It's always a delight when the camera captures those candid moments of Jim and his dad providing commentary while Zach is hard at work. Their presence adds an extra layer of entertainment and authenticity to the video. Their banter and insights are truly priceless. I can't wait to see what unexpected moments and humorous exchanges await in the future! Keep up the fantastic work! 💪😄🎬
Enjoy your videos, feel sorry for your problems!
Thanks for sharing your hard work. Your more willing to share your trial an error than myself and many others. Thanks for your videos.
Zach. Try Dawn Soap with your Pressure washer or Dawn Soap Co. came out with a Spray Bottle Soap . That Soap the Best for Oil clean ups. Good for Baby Ducks good for Oily Deere.
😂😂😂 I would recommend a Ranger if you’re looking to get any work done…. That’s awesome!! Another well done video, Zach! Hope to hang out with you again soon.
This is now the Top Farm channel with the "I feel the need for seed" quote. Yee haw! You're corn fed!
@6:11 Hmm wonder if that was The Big Swede in the Terragator.
Be on the lookout for leaks on that new sprayer. Same thing as that planter leak. Small plug on hydraulic block, blows oring and gets loose and starts leaking. R4030 happened 6 separate times. One block under the belly and one block on the boom
Nice video and a nice fix on the planter
Looked more like a harry C-ring than an O-ring. Glad it was simple enough to fix. Planter seems to be all squared away this year, no more behind the camera cussing it out!!! lol
Nice to see jim again!
Had the same thing happen this spring with a plug on a valve body.
I love Jim’s running commentary on the O Ring project
Your ancestors called, they want there flashlight back. They said go find an LED one.
Awesome video Zach. It's kool that the O'ring was all that planter needed to fix it. Only if all repairs were that easy. 🚜🚜🚜
great video Zach. thank you
thank you
Really in joy your videos thank you
Glad you got some good soybeans to plant
Equipment got to love it.
You always have a good humor.😅
Good to see planting is going better again. Hydraulic oil gets everywhere glad you found it worse part of being around older hoses is you fix one bump another one next that hose leaks and on it goes
Glad it was an easy fix for you
Your dad was quick to offer to run the tractor hydraulics and not be at the messy end 😂
Need to get you set or just a single Allen scocket, that you can use to get those plugs out. You can use an extension, or two, it will hopefully be a even easier job the next time. Stay safe.
Great watching again zach must be better when goes to plan we'll all most
Love your Dad ! Cheers from the UK
Yep, know all about those o rings , last year had many of them. Come to conclusion two different materials don't mix. Ended up put using lock tight to keep from loosing up of cap bolt.
John deere uses a lot of aluminum hydraulic valve blocks - but steel plugs ...the aluminum and steel expand at different rates - so it's pretty common for the plugs to loosen which blows the o rings out ...
I look forward too watching this channel. I have been watching for a few years now and love the content.
Hope everyone is having a great day! I had to fight of cancer so I can continue to watch some farmin! Stay safe out there!
@5:30 yay, congratulations Zach, u did it
Zach you have my sense of humour .😂😂 love it 👍🏻
Z, glad this year’s planting is going so well. You never commented on what’s changed on the planter you had such a fight with last year. Regards.
Yea he did it was the wiring harness and the pigtails for the seed tubes
Yep some of those o-ring can be a pain in the butt. Good to see Jim haven’t seen him in a while.
Zach...1987 called and they want their crappy yellow flashlight back! Lol😅 just kidding love ya bud!
Great channel to follow 😂.
