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.

My wife is concerned over the last several months that I will randomly growl "THUNDER" for no apparent reason.
Just say it's your stomach and say that you're hungry. Works for me every time with my parents
I’m not convinced about that RX 8 until it’s been in the hands of Jim “the master of mud” . 😅
They'll have to fire him again!
that does make me curious how it does digging dirt, tillage....
Just like a dictionary,
"What does Singulation mean?"
Singulation: How singulated the seeds are being placed
*See Singulated*
It's like "safe spacing" for corn seeds
Synonym: social distancing for corn
@@davidgrant5198 You mean physical distancing.
On monitors on corn planters it will tell us our seed accuracy. If a seed meter picks up one seed at a time thats good. ie singulation. If they pick up 2 kernals then it plans a double which as it grows one of the plants wont develop well and effectively becomes a resource sucking weed. Skips are the meters missing a seed. There is alot that goes into making these things work right.
@@stevee8884 gd if that dont hug the nail in the heart!.... gd def means gosh darn
When you like the video before watching
All the time
Just to try and get as close to the first like as possible!
Yup
I always do.. lol
I do it every time
15:28 "It's not my planter, or else I wouldn't drive this fast." 😅
I literally was scrolling up comments just as he was saying this lol!
When you notice only 10k more subs to half a million!!!
I grew up on the farm and worked around, over and under PTO's - my older brother got his laces caught in a PTO - once. A day (and months of healing) we will never forget.
I enjoy watching your videos. February of 2019 I had a stroke. Doctors think I had two strokes but they know I had one for sure. While I was in the hospital with the stroke I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Now I sit at the house and enjoy people's videos. Love the big green machines!!
Zach... you are a natural talent at what you’re doing ... really enjoy how you include your beautiful little family... I’m 60 and grew up farming in Illinois. Would really like to hear more from your father and his thoughts on equipment/ technology etc
The technology in the cab of that tractor to put a seed in the ground baffles me...and I’m a millennial....it’s awesome!! Thanks so much for showing us!
Being a Millennial doesn't automatically make someone able to know how a technology works. It merely makes you more likely to be able to use it. Using a technology and understanding it are two completely different things. Sure, you probably know how to use a Smart Phone and a computer, but could you build one from scratch? I strongly doubt it.
I almost wonder if they have a bluelight filter on those displays for at night? that can't be very comfortable on the eyes after awhile with soo many displays
Looks like ya need to start your farming career these days with a computer engineering degree!
@@j.b.9895 Nope. Computer engineering has nothing to do with learning how to operate a touch-screen lol. Computer engineering is for the guys who design chips and circuits, not the ones who use devices that contain them.
H3R3T1C Dude, it was a sarcastic comment. An exaggerated comment, but thanks for the helpful instruction
This time at 7:38 a Millenial speaks german very nice XD. Greetings from germany. Keep up the good work

Zack , your dad taught you well . Your channel was the perfect place for John Deere to showcase the 8 RX and the new planter . Thank you for making the videos and thank you Becky for editing them !
I think Mrs Millenial should have her OWN TH-cam channel!!!! The farming wife's prospective of being married to a famous farmer!!! I loved how she reminded you about the socially unacceptable lines from the movie!!! I love your Montage moments! Nice review of the tractor annnnnnnnd how you explain in detail what all the settings are and how they work together!!!
"I was just cruising along at 9-10mph" ya, you weren't going 10!😂
The space ship looks nice😂
Hi Zach. I’m a 12 year old farmer, I have goats and chickens and a garden. I love ur channel, and John Deere. I even painted my room jd green! It would mean a lot if u said hi.
Kudos to the kids with their trap line. Back in the 60's, my dad paid me $0.50 per gopher. Most summers I made over $50, which was a bargain for my dad. We raised soybeans and alfalfa. The gophers would tunnel right down a soybean row, pulling the plants right down into the ground. Of course, come harvest time the mounds would plug up the combine or hay mower sickles if you didn't spot them in time. And then there were the badger holes, some big enough to bury a Volkswagon, I swear.
I ran a gopher trapline as well in the 50's. I got 25 cents per gopher. Trapped for the neighbors as well. it was a lot of fun besides.
Like you mentioned I went an see the Harmless Farmer. Amazing how you can run a farm with no arms. Blew my mind when he picked up bales of hay with his teeth.
This an FYI for Ms. Mellenial farmer, just listenign to the latest podcast at work, (on lunch don't worry) and wanted to clarify not all of Canada gets milk in bags. Heere in Manitoba, we buy it it 4L jusgs, which would be about a gallon. I know for sure Ontario uses the milk bags, and maybe more Eastern provinces? I don't think much of the west does though. But can confirm Manitoba uses jugs.
This has been your Canada facts update brought to you by me.
Huge longtime fan of your videos, very fun and informative. Grew up working on local farms and making feed for farmers here in western NY state into my early 20's, I'm 52 now. Have loved farming all my life. Keep up the great work Zack.
High tech for sure. Back in the 70's we had a four row planter, had to fill each box by hand, and adjust everything from the planter. Then follow a mark in the dirt made by a row marker. High tech to drop the row marker, pull a rope! And to find out if you are about to run out of seed, get out and check it or if you were lucky, get someone napping on the seed bags to check it for you. The good ole days!!
I used to think there was just two varieties of corn. Cow corn and people corn.
Your son handles gophers. When I was about 10 living in Oklahoma late '60s, I had several farmers that would pay me to hunt jackrabbits with my .22 rifle using long hollowpoints. I got a nickel each and the barns were very profitable. Good memories.,
I am not currently a farmer but I own 167 acres in north east Arkansas. We have rice and beans on it . It’s rented out to a farmer. I grew up on it farming until I was about 18 years old. I love looking at the complications setting the new equipment.
Zack, at the end when you were talking likes and dislikes about your Deere tractor, you left out one important "LIKE". It comes with its own bathroom. Love your videos.
Amazing how technology has changed since I was involved in farming 14 years ago. Zach will Deere take your output on your comments from the tractor and plamter your using ? You should run a test plot of this setup and your other tractor and planter side by side and see the differences between the two. It was nice to see how you could take a row apart without having to use wrenches as that is a big plus. Also nice to see Mrs Millennial farmer helping you out by bringing you stuff from the shop so you didn't have to stop, nice job Becky. You should put Becky on window and mirrors detail lol. Love your videos Zach and the time you put into showing us the new technology as it makes me want to come back and help you as I dont live to far away from you. I want to come visit your operation this some time soon. I'm trying to get you more subscribers. Have you talked to Randy about that one spot where you were pushing dirt with the planter. Does your computer show where you have tile drain outlets ?
I love for all you do to promote different ways of Agriculture, keep your videos coming as I'm always looking forward for the next video.
I love driving an old pickup truck. I can do things that most people would panic about. Hop a curb, go down an embankment like he did, randomly decide to cut through a field because I got board and that field looks like it needs tire marks.
Just found (and subscribed) to your site, like what I've seen so far. Look forward to digging through past videos, some entertainment while "sheltering in place" from the corona virus. Spent many hours on John Deere 70 in the 1960s working summer fallow in Western Nebraska, so farming has a place in my heart. Viewing your operation reminds me of Mike Bloomberg saying he could teach anyone to farm. Just dig a hole, drop in a seed, cover it up, and add water. Sure Mike, let's see you hop into the cab, fire up, and plant some corn.
Poor Isla, she just wanted to see what it tasted like. 😂
12:22 Smokey and the bandit is the greatest movie EVER MADE!! “Where’d you get that seat cover son” -snowman-
Oddly enough, Smokey and the Bandit 2 is the worst movie ever made!! 🤣
Agreed. That trans am is the junk one. The 77 is the way to go!
11:11 "it's a Chevy, it's got it" felt that man, love my 03 1500
To the Johnson Farming Family. Thank you for sharing some of your spoils and success with many of the farmers here in America that just might not be in such good shape. Just shows how farmers help each other in good times and bad. My respect has grown so much for you all. 👍
Thank you!
I was out in the field today with my grandpa today
My uncle helps build tractors for John Deere. Glad to see one of his creations being used.
Amazing how precise the planter is at that speed and the ability to monitor all those functions real time - unbelievable. Thanks for showing how you establish your test plots with the different seed varieties
My grandfather was a farmer. My first paying job was on a farm as a young boy. From my family to your's....Thank you for what you do for our country.
Secretly he knows if he goes 10mph he’ll have to go home sooner. He also knows he won’t have anything to do for a while
or maybe this fancy tractor and planter can travel through time when hitting 10 mph
@@hazgebu That's what I was thinking.
“I got dirt on my hands” - millennial Farmer
It was also great to see that the washroom goes where you go! Sweet!
Thankyou for the honesty on the machines!!
Auf Wiedersehen 👋🏼
Hey Zack, have you ever thought about those "potty breaks" and those wet spots in the fields?
Is that how "organic" corn is grown?
It's urea.......LOL
He's really lowering the PH of that field!
@@tarefoot 🤣
I’m sure he shows it on his map so he can find them when he needs to go again!
I always look forward to your videos. I started in state law enforcement 5yrs ago and that’s when I left farming after roughly 10 yrs. I miss it a ton so your videos really help. Thank you and keep it up
5:48 Aww she is so proud of you!
Red, green, heck even the blue guys, farmer or not, we all have to come together and get Zach to 500k!
Thank you!!!
I'm with the red and the green, but those blue guys can go to hell lol. New Holland is dead to me.
@@MFKR696 you do realize that the blue and red are the same company right?
-Why did you pull me over officer?
-You were doing 9 in a five mph zone.
Always happy to see Canadian Becky join in the fun. Even if she didn't bring yall pizza...
Thanks Zach! That just looks like so much fun!
I wonder if that harmonic vibration in the tracks doesn’t come from the tread design just a thought
LOL, By the way this isn't my planter otherwise, I wouldn't drive this fast."
Amazing work on the charitable donations and getting Deere on board! Well done.
I love you!!! ❤️ I've NEVER farmed in my life but it's interesting seeing this profession. Stay safe and warm!!
We city boys mostly care about "hang-ulation" rather thank singulation.
I don't know why, but it makes me so happy that you watch this channel. Love your content too! :)
I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Rayden Lucca instablaster ;)
@Musa Marcellus Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Musa Marcellus It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
Hey Zac, the channel big tractor power just posted a video of all you want to know about the 8rx, where they talk about all its features, just incase there was more you don’t know about it
I'll check that out, thanks!
Amazing. Machinery, Technology, Farming, and Farmer. Thanks for sharing the fun!
Great video and equipment. Love how JD made everything easy to work on. Thanks for helping other farmers and thanks to all farmers and dealers for feeding America and the world.
He got his hands dirty 😂😂🖐️🖐️
Classic!🍻🍻
OH NO!!!! Don't tell me that John Deere is going to start having the "Freightliner shake". God help us 😇
lol when everything's suspended and silent, I bet the slightest little thing can be felt or heard, still don't mean its thAt bad.
Seems like a much better planting season than last year. Keep the videos coming. I spend my Sunday afternoons catching up.
Really enjoy your video and explanations. Laughed about the track harmonics, back in my youth I operated army tanks in the 1970’s, and at about 10 mph, the tracks would hum in a harmonic rather, which I found very relaxing😊 Raised on a wheat farms in Oklahoma in the 1960’s, I marvel at the farm tech. Great work!
You know a tractor cab is roomy when two men can sit in it and remain 6' apart!!
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
They were two and a half men for a while, that says even more
Covid proof tractor!
Lol😂
In the PNW we’d say: “Becky is Skookum.” It’s quite a compliment!
Nice picture of Haystack rock in Cannon Beach OR
My father in law would say "two bucket woman". Either way she seems a great wife and partner.
W Brown tri-cities area?
Nice ride there Zach. That tractor has all the comforts of home for sure. I can't believe you can go that fast down a field with that thing planting wow.
Been here since 2017 and 10.000 subs. You my friend are the king of farm vlogging! You motivate me to go out there and get the job done! Thank you! Greetings from Greece.
That's not a tractor Zach, that's the Starship Enterprise on FourTrax.
7:38 You said that "Auf Wiedersehen" pretty good. You should definitely learn some more German. You're talented 😅
Agrarfan LP how about goodntight? I’m a sailor we can twist anything
@@clearingbaffles That made me laugh. Good joke. 😂
Great vid, Zach. Mrs. Millennial Farmer runs that seed tender around like a pro! Have a safe and productive planting season!!
Love your reviews and the way you think!!!
With the automation, how often do you and Mrs millennial farmer make out in the tractor?
When ur so early u can’t steal any comments
Justin Wilson ya bro
Justin Wilson cuz why not
"Auf wiedersehen" :D Love it....
Greetings from Germany :) ;)
Great stuff! Happy planting!
"I like watching singulation" Is that on Netflix???
“She’s an Chevy “
Only got to do custom hay and straw when I was younger but always wanted to do row crops. Thanks for the great videos they are the best.
Congrats on 500,000!!!!!!!!!!
*Absolutely buries new planter*
MF : ThInGs tHaT mAkE yOu gO, HmMmMm!
*whoosh. He was insinuating that the guy who did his drain-tile work might not be very good at his job.
Almost 500,000 subs congrats to you all
I didn't know so much went into farming u def know what ur doing lov ur channel Zach it the man
For keeping your windows free of dust buy a Swifter and refills and if you like the job it pertains to you then buy one for each of the equipment.
Your little girl is adorable! What a smile!😀
Your subscriptions have been climbing a lot the past few days! Good luck!
You have an excellent channel full of information. A as a none farmer some of it makes sence and you explain it so well. Good luck with the 500k.
With that awesome guitar riff in the background @7:21 and farming ,it just makes you love farming and America even more !#America #FarmersGettingItDone
All the best for 2020plant. Hein from south africa.
A really good and fair review of the machinery, thank you!
I started watching your channel on Friday I've been binge I've been binge-watching it all weekend I grew up on the vegetable produce Farm which shut down in the mid-90s watching you makes Miss farming keep up the good work plus you're very entertaining
Hi Zach, a wonderful video on both the planter and the tractor. You take it through all the paces doing what you need to do and critiquing as you go along. The technology on the planter is incredible and you show what it's doing and when it's not working well. The tractor is fantastic yet you let us know what are the few shortcomings that probably need changing. I love the screens, the smooth and quiet ride, and the fabulous lights -- all of which you highlight. John Deere has to be very pleased with an authentic, realistic, and honest evaluation of both pieces of beautiful green equipment. Thanks, Zach for what you do for both farmers and manufacturers. - Dean from Edina
I love your videos soo much. I watch you everyday and when I grow up, I really really want to be as good as a farmer as you are!! Thank you for inspiring me to be a farmer!!! :)
Great video zack hope you have a successful and safe year
The start of the phone conversation priceless. I honestly don't know if it gets better than that. Think you have won your YouTbe career, time to hang up your hat.
I’ve planted a lot of Test Plots in my day, and that has to be the easiest one I’ve seen done! Kudos to the crew who helped you with that. These new planters make it really easy to clean out, too. Now, fingers crossed it all comes up. Looking forward to the fall results. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Enjoyed the video ... your folks did a good job and you got lucky with the Mrs. all the best!
Great video MN Millennial Farmer!
That's what we had also with the transmission. It kinda jumps into low gear. We have hills and going up it wants to go into high gear. Our John Deere dealership heard other people had issues. I like it and so does my dad and we brought it and another one. I am 6'5" and it's enough room for me. Glad the radio has Bluetooth. Cause I play Pandora Radio all the time and love the speakers. The volume turns the music down when somebody is calling me. I like it has the fridge to keep food cold and Mountain Dew. My wife watched this with me while we was helping a friend plant corn since his tractors broke. She was like does he carry hand sanitizer or a big container of water to wash hands. We do on all tractors and combines. Cause we like the inside of the cabs to be dirt and grease free.
Amazing technology in modern farming operations.
Been watching you since 2018, love your videos, good luck and hello from Romania
Your soil looks amazing it looks like perfect planting bed
Conditions are beautiful!
Yes it's a 'sweet' looking / running machine. So much information at your finger tips on the display. Take care be safe.
Looks like a great outfit, thanks for sharing. Good luck to your son’s ADC business. Trapping is a good hobby for a young man👍
