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.

When a politician doesn’t want to be recorded, there’s a reason. Lot’s of people talk about being transparent, but they don’t really want to be that open. Knowing how MN politics lean, they have an agenda or narrative they want push, whether you like it or not! Keep it politics free!
With the political climate these days everything said can be taken out of context. If you're not prepared for it as a politician these days I can 100% understand they'd rather not be recorded.
Please - No Politicians.
Remember, it's not about you, it's going to be about them. Especially in an election year.
Shut up
The governors election was last year.....
@@Kevin-qm3tp You think elections are only important to politicians on election year. That's adorable. Also a little scary.
@@mark2220 No I'm just into fear mongering like some of you who will only judge people by the R or D at the end of their affiliation.
Make America Great Again 2024
Politicians...their lips are always flapping but nothing is coming out.
If their lips are moving they are lying R or D
Make America Great Again 2024
Plenty coming out but you risk getting it on your shoes and it's guaranteed to stink up the joint for weeks.
Long time subscriber here. One of the things I love about your content is that it's an escape from all the other garbage. Please keep the politicians out of it. That's my vote.
The silence after "I am recording " was AMAZING 😂
You could almost hear his face screw into the deer in headlights look. lol
That was priceless
😂 I no
Sometimes silence is louder than words good on you to keep his wish and stay ethical. Also love the shorts the crew was rocking where is Nate’s shirt from?
As someone that worked in Federal government for 30 years, I understand the hesitation. He had to determine all the angles that things could go including out of context clips. The hesitation is not 'deer in headlights', it's calculated thought and risk management decision making. People that haven't been in that situation have no f'n clue.
RUN, FORREST! RUN! Politicians are TOXIC!
Remember: the actor left the country to live elsewhere when they started busting pedifiles. After the left pushed to dampen the arrests, he miraculous returned. I don't watch any of that actors shows anymore. The actors behavior and history reveals all.
Especially Minnesota's governor!
The fastest way to lose half your audience. In this day and age it's better to stay away from all things political if you care about subscriber count. You cannot win no matter the side or if you are right or wrong. Hell, you may have already lost viewers from the choice of t-shirt your son wore. I don't make the rules, but I sure have seen how the game has changed in the past 6-8 years.
Good luck
@@wheeler391970 reeally? that's news to me. walz is a very respectable guy.
Please, no politicians, let's keep your channel as is. Thank you.
Twin Cities=Politicians. Millennial Farmer=Car racing, farming ,shooting sports, raising a family. I'd stick with option #2 cause you've hit the nail on the head.
I really enjoy this channel because it doesn't involve politics.
I vote to keep Millenial Farmer a "Politician Free Area". If he wants to make comments, let him make them here in the comment section like everbody else.
I think he made a political comment at the end
@@lordhoho1 I was about to say the same thing. The channel makes plenty of political comments all the time, just not out right saying them.
Please Please stay political free.
Oh, but read what I said again. I said "Politician". And I should have made it more clear. The he I was referring to was the governor. Sorry about that.
If the governors adviser wants to talk to you while not being recorded, that’s red flag number one. If I’ve learned one thing in my business, it’s you don’t mix business with politics, just my opinion.
I would have told them, " if you're unwilling to be open and up front with a community you serve , no thank you".
Don't EVEN go there.........please.......this is one place I go to get away from all THAT.
I LOVE the dogs riding in the back................I had no idea it had AC in it........NICE !!!
Me neither, no wonder they want to ride in there. 🐶
Darn things cost about as much as a cheap pickup used to, I'd hope to heck they came with AC & Heat.
Backroom Bullshit! Eh?
That is one of my favorite things. Always makes me smile when he uber's the dogs around.
Love seeing the Dogs wanting to be with you in the Ranger, they love it so much as do I
Doesn't matter where you stand. I'm not here for your politics I'm here for your content. Both sides only care about themselves and screwing us over.
Both sides ? ... You are not a farmer OBVIOUSLY .
Green bozos are not farmer friendly . They are religiously driven to drive farmers out of ownership of their land . Cows are evil, diesel is criminal, fertilizers pollutants, pesticides criminal ... Sorry Dan but the UN we are the world shirt you are currently wearing shows a bit too much . Be safe Capt'n , no anger just a farmer's observation . Our trade has been under attack by liberal left for too long . Time to set the clocks straight .
@@niniv2706 Farmers can't think both sides are crooked??
Obvious right now today the 5 year farm bill is not completed...Its not Democrats that is preventing it from being signed. I am a Republican but some of us understand reality and how the finger pointing is hurting this country far more than getting this country on track
@@nickjewart9351 They can "think" whatever they want, but when you look at policy it is blatantly obvious that one party backs farmers and the other wants to over-regulate them out of business. You figure out who is who.
Zach,
If I wanted politics, I’d watch cable tv. You my friend are mind therapy that takes me away from all of that noise!
One more item, Jim looks great! Glad to see his smile!
When a politician wants to talk privately ,Beware.
As a Canadian who grew up just north of you, I highly agree with keeping the politics out. I so much enjoy following you and your content and also my fellow Canadian farmers' channels (Mike Mitchell and South Sask Farmer) and really appreciate how hard you all work to "feed" all your fellow citizens and others across the world. Thank you and please don't politicize your hard work !
Corn for ethanol feeds no one though......
As a Canadian FARMER ... I totally disagree with DaveB235 . Silence is NOT an option when tools for good farming are removed by POLITICIANS . Silence is NOT an option . Lately a communist movance in Canada has been at work to try and seize farm land and curb access to pesticides and fertilizers ... Electricians, teachers and accountants vote for these choices ... Choices that do NOT affect their way of life . Trudeau is a UN puppet and communist love bug . We may be "we are the world and love each other" but ... Farming is not being a civil servants or electrician . Politics do affect farmers directly when voters impose changes to our field of work .
Are you a farmer Dave B ? If you are ... Good day to you . If you are not ... Go on living the dream of communist NDP and Liberals .
South Sask Farmer for prime minister!!
@@WarpedHorizon the term feed is in quotations so that most people would understand it has a broader meaning than just the simple what we shovel in our mouths. His corn to ethanol feeds the insatiable need for energy in North America. I hope you can now understand this
@@WarpedHorizon the byproduct sure does
I think the cat was saying, "Did you say fresh concrete? Must go walk on."
I wonder how they kept the dogs off the wet concrete?😊
A Wingstop went up by me in the past few months. Completely new build with fresh concrete lot...complete with cat prints.
Cat prints are tiny..... just saying. (unless you own a panther or a Hellcat) 🐾
Compliments to you for handling a sensitive subject extremely well. I'm not going to post the rest of what I prepared. You'll know what to do.
That awkward silence🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
don't let politicians use your platform! Please!
Yes, Tim Waltz can start his own You-Tube Channel. Subscribe if you like his content.I wouldn't think this channel needs contamination of political hot air, left or right.
Why not? Zach could play some games if he were inclined. The potential could be quite exciting.
"Make Fertilizer Affordable Again" shirt Pops had on gave me the giggles😂
You can find them on our merchandise website! Just saying... 😂 farmfocused.com/millennial-farmer/
Should read: Make Affordable Fertilzer Again. MAFA
The facts are facts. Iowa taxpayers paid for a fertilizer plant to keep prices competitive. The fantastic people at Koch Industries is trying to buy the plant for $3.6 billion. Of course if they are successful they absorb a competitor and the farmers fertilizer costs will go even higher. So their only hope is that the president the Millennial Farmer despises and let’s his kid wear a shirt degrading will recommend it is a violation of anti trust laws and the courts will block the sale. That won’t happen if Trump is elected. So yeah it kinda pisses me off when your Dad wears a shirt asking for support but you trash the people that can help and are actually being supportive.
I wear mine every couple weeks. Apparently some don’t catch the sarcasm
@@MillennialFarmer If you put the MF logo on the front and the make fertilizer affordable again on he back i will buy one! Maybe a few!
Friend of Mine also a farmer here in Germany, said t his local member of the Bundestag (German parliament) if you want to talk to farmers do the following: take 2 two weeks of. Bring a pencil and a piece of paper with you go to the farmers and talk to them. Write down what they say and leave all the cameras and journalists behind you. And if you are back in Berlin, take all your notes and what you have learned and do your fucking job. Make politics for the people you stand for.
Those dogs are so happy to be getting a ride you can see them smiling
Now even Jim has an actor who plays him. He can lay back, have a nice cold beer and enjoy the show! :D
The budget for production is increasing more and more lately
@@aafor3 Just wondering where they park the makeup trailers?
@@adambacsanyi Off camera
Thank for showing jim , he looks very healthy . Hope he is around for harvest .
Not sure what "our" fine governor would have to say to us "rocks & cows".... that we'd actually want to hear?!
First time caller, Long time listener! 😂😂😂 Please no politics. I love the content that you and the family make.
Glad Jim is doing well!
The actor that plays Jim should win an Oscar for that performance.
Best supporting actor 🤘🏼😂
Zach- I love this channel. I never miss a video. You brilliantly bring the very, very important things which farmers do to the attention of all the rest of us who have no idea. You're funny, smart, accomplished, and you have a terrific and beautiful family. It is one of the few places we can go these days to get away from the constant drumbeat of politics and division. Please, please leave politics out of it....
Too late, Where have you been? Zach makes shit comments all the time about 'liberals" etc. And just look at the shirt ONyx is wearing! Leave politics out ...unless it about our New Jesus, Donnie the Rapist. Hahahahaahah Get Wrecked.
Zack being fellow Minnesotan . Walz can go start his own channel. I know most of Northern Minnesota remembers "Rocks and Cows".
but was he wrong?
Zack our political views are probably the same but please leave politics out of your videos. Yes I know you have the right to do whatever you want but your platform is one of the few that leave politics out and that’s refreshing. Politics seem to front and center everywhere we look. It’s nice to watch something without it.
I have heard Zack speak on other channels about politics. Guess what? I still couldn't tell you which side he falls on. Also, most farmers have the opinion that our political leaders are garbage, on both sides. Also, Onx shirt was spot on.
I'm just curious if paying attention to politics could save or cost you and your families lives, would it be worth paying attention to then? Research Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or S.D.G's.
It’s getting to the point where people need to make a stand. Zach might be at that point. Well done Zach!
I'm sure you cash those subsidy checks though.
But if Zach shut down the Millenial Farmer channel you would be like why? The political climate of his state are trying to do just that with their lagislation
I see the dogs are becoming divas. They demand that you take them with you and then get out and don't even give you any thanks for the ride. 😆😆
lol. more dog content.
"im not gonna tell you where I stand" -- says the guy who sells a "make fertilizer affordable again" tee
Point made 100%! No need to hear any more from the governor's office
Just remember, we are "mostly rocks and cows" Wouldn't waste the time of day with him. That phone call said it all.
Lmao is he lying? You're softer than baby shit
as a fellow MN resident, please don't give that guy any ammunition to go back to the cities and claim he cares about rural MN because he was on the millennial farmer channel.
I really like your channel the way you try to educate people about agriculture. Let’s leave politics to the politicians 😢
Zach you have a good thing going on and enjoy a lot of followers so don't get political because it will probably cause you to lose followers. Stay with your farming content and you will be fine. I love your channel, keep up the good work and I wish you the best and continued success.
What a shame. The lack of political content on this channel was always refreshing and an escape from hearing about it all the time. I sincerely hope it does not change here.
If the governor wants to commentate on your channel then he should comment on it in his own forum. You have worked long and hard to not politicize the channel. I think sticking to that recipe is a better idea than the alternative. As other viewers have pointed out there is also the Podcast. I think that would be a better place for the governor's visit. Take care and God bless!
His political affiliation is obvious, look at Onyx's tea shirt and listen to Zac's comment. That was a deliberate political statement. It is unfortunate that a person with obvious influence does not engage. No progress comes from a closed mind.
@@malcolmr-b9620 Are you implying Zach has a *CLOSED MIND?!* It's *HIS* platform and everything he does is how *HE* wants to do things on *HIS PLATFORM* - not cowtow to p.o.s. liberals! There. That was *MY DELIBERATE POLITICAL STATEMENT!* Is your butt hurt even more now? LMAO!
@@malcolmr-b9620 If the governor is actually serious in wanting to talk about farming and what it faces. Then the podcast should be a good opportunity for him to state his position and be asked questions in return. Zach does not talk about his politics even if parts of his life display it. There is a big difference.
@@malcolmr-b9620Waltz is an ass, and you're right Waltz is narrow minded and can't be reasoned with
@@malcolmr-b9620 Unlike most celebrities, Zach doesn't use his status to shove politics down our throats. That's because he believes in unadulterated American freedom.
Zack,
You are very smart guy. You must know there is nothing in this for you when you accept invitations from any politician.
They are only interested in themselves.
Yes have the governor on.... Bad things happen in politics when good people stay out of it.
Of the 1M subscribers, I'd say only a fraction of us live in MN, so the majority of us couldn't care less about what the Gov. of MN has to say.
Thank you for saying the phrase correctly! Lol it bothers me when ppl say “ I could care less”
I’m from Minnesota and I don’t want Waltz on his video either. His a poor excuse for a governor !
I'm from MN and could care less what our governor has to say.
I live in Fargo, and though I strongly dislike the gov maybe being on a real farm would be good for him. or is he a they/them? idk I dont keep up with it.
As a Minnesotan, he’s not welcome.
In the words of Dr. Evil, "HOW BOUT NOOOOO!"
My personal opinion on the politician segment can be summed up thusly.
When he asked if we could have the conversation while not recording my response would have been "if I cant record my content while we are talking then this conversation is over"
So yes that was all the content I needed.
As you said, that was probably all the content we needed. It was pretty funny though that they want to be part of your content but not willing to have a recorded phone call. Again, all the content we needed of them.
I enjoy coming here and watching awesome content that is free of politics.
Keep the channel out of politics! This where we come to get away from politics.
You have a remarkable ability to turn moments of awkwardness into opportunities for humor and growth, sharing relatable experiences with sincerity and charm. Your videos resonate with authenticity, offering laughter and insight that connect with viewers on a personal level. And I am Floating Village Life
@@FloatingVillageLife 🤣
I ran into that woman who was pouring your concrete, at the bar. She said she got all wet working for the Millennial Farmer today.
I said that I didn't know you could pour concrete when it was raining. She slapped me upside my head, and said, "Smarten Up".
Stay away from Governors! They want to get something for their reputation at the cost of yours! Love Onyx’s shirt, hilarious. 😂
100% agree!
Onyx shirt is 💯fact.😂😂
The beginning of that phone conversation was more than enough
That was so telling on it own merits !! @@Jmeinema1
@Jmeinema1 And it is the same as if we were watching the good Governor's body language. He lied, he lied, he lied! His eyes went up and to the right.
When the Governor that’s wants to be on your platform, but his lackey says he won’t talk while you’re recording…. Red flag. Never trust any politician that reaches out to you, regardless of what they say, they’re not interested in YOU, only what you can do for them..
That was crazy he was so against his voice being heard. Always something to hide.
Exactly what I came here to say, glad someone said it first.
find me a mid level staffer who agrees to be recorded, FROM ANY CAMPAIN. The guy was NOT the politician.
Zach was getting scammed and you all fell for it. Or he is scamming all of us!
Baloney
WOW, that's a lot of concrete, can't wait to see this new dryer all assembled. It might be worth the time to talk to a politician and maybe educate him a little bit.
Public official in public office. The moment they say no recording, red flag. Walk away
Zach, your pitch lines at the right second crack me to the moon an back, freaking dieing over here, 😂😂,that phone call, your a TH-camr an he sounded very surprised, oh mannnnn, great video as always, gonna be sweet to see the new dryer one this fall, thanks for sharing 🇺🇲👍🤙✊💪🌽🌽🌽
Transparency 😂😂😂
You got 100% support here from Nebraska!...his channel he can do what he wants
I’d keep yourself well away from the wolfs 😂
Interesting how the Governor's representative (my presumption) did not want to be live. Public figure nervous or cautious about speaking to the public - go figure!!
They're used to negotiate under the table.
Political figures never openly speak about possible appearances until they are completely confirmed. It has nothing to do with “dealing under the table.”
I was shocked.... 😂
Yeah after Trump calling up a governor and asking for 11k votes and all. You know like the criminal he is. I'm glad they recorded that fool and can't wait for them to LOCK TRUMP UP!
To be fair, a lot of people who are just doing their job are not gonna want to be on TH-cam. Just MF was courteous to the team putting in the dryer and didn't stand around all day filming them, remember they guy who called is not a public figure and doing public appearances is probably not is his job description.
I thought it quite strange that the Governor’s Assistant didn’t want the call recorded!! I’d probably stay away from the Governor in that case!!
Stuff getting quoted/clipped out of context are a real issue for people with those jobs. Dude has to asses the risk of not only Zach but any viewer's actions with any part of the discussion.
@@super_snow_man9128yup. Amazing how many people in the comments here lack the ability to think critically.
Ol boy on the phone was definitely light in the loafers
That cat was resting up , it has a big afternoon walking over newly laid concrete😅
You would think the actor that plays the Millennial Farmer would get Jim a cool T shirt from Farm Focus 😎😎
Great video today. Hope you can keep the politicians out of it. Most of us watch these channels to get away from their BS. Nice to see Jim and always love seeing the dogs. Thanks.
A great grandfather of my family from the 1700s was offered a commission as Justice of the Peace, but he declined saying Men are not to receive from offices, but offices from men... as much as men receive, the others lose, till at last offices come to have no honor at all.
Zack, I'm a fellow Minnesotan 77 years old. I love watching your channel but please keep politics out of it. Its nice to be able to watch something without politics.😊
From an outsider's perspective, having politicians visit farmers is always a sketchy thing. They're merely looking for good PR, that's it.
The politicians visiting farms are looking for fields to spread their BS on. But Zach doesn't have livestock, so perhaps some all organic BS would help those tissue samples!
I've been watching your for a few years now and one of the reasons I keep coming around is that you don't push politics. I thoroughly enjoy your content and your dry sense of humor.
i love your dads shirt . you can fill in the rest of the blanks of your governor lol
LMAO Im loving "Dad's" Shirt!
I have watched you from the beginning and it is nice to never hear about politics. I wouldn't let the governor on he is using you for his political gain.
We may never hear it, but as Zack himself says, you only need to have been watching him for a bit to know which side of the bread he butters!
Far as the the governor goes, don’t do it, what ever would be said will get bent, miss quoted, and/or misinterpreted. Save your self the hassle
The dog's just want to be in the ac .🤣🤣🤣
I think you would be better off having the guy that would MAKE FERTILIZER AFFORDABLE AGAIN on your show...Love your sons shirt...LOL! Smart kid!
MF: “that went a lot faster than I thought it would”
Me: “that’s what she said”
About 5 years ago I had a surgery and they pulled about three feet of my intestines out and it was cancer but I didn’t have to do any chemo or anything and that was 5 years thank you Jesus so I am a happy well adjusted older fellow but right after about 3 years ago when my mom got sick that all I did was watch your videos I swear you and Chet kinda got me through a rough couple of years and would just like to thank you. Hope it’s a great season but it’s been a weird season this year so good luck.
I say that you can have the mayor on if he just wants to experience farming and no “vote for me” and stuff like that
Isn't it funny how being a "celebrity" brings out the politicians? Well done Zack, it didn't surprise me that the aide, didn't want to be recorded, in case he let something slip. If it's not recorded it didn't happen...Nice to see the dogs enjoying themselves. I love them to bits, they are such sweet companions, your a lucky guy to have them. From UK.
Not only is Zach outed as a cat guy, but he also gets the Schwan's truck to come see him! I can't even get them out here in California.
They're a MN company!
Really wish they didn't change their name to Yellow tho...
They probably don’t want to pay for the security guards it takes to make deliveries in California.
I know, I live here.
@@coltgunner1 perhaps they wanted to be famous for chicken
@@rogernation2551 ahh I believe here in the UK they just use former close protection officer with tactical driving well that and Eastern Europeans but then a couple told me they are trained in the skill from an early age either to avoid militia or the mafia
Keep the politicians out, we have to endure enough or their spin, nonsense, point scoring negativity.
Keep up the Johnson farm content its why we are here…
As for interviewing the governor I say go with what you feel is best Zach. Your channel has reached the level it has because you are showing us farming and who you as a farmer/person is.
I've trusted your judgment thus fare. Your call.
Anna watching you drive away from the adronamist was adorable. I personally can't wait to hear the results. Cheers Johnson fam and ofcourse the actor that plays Jim😅
The governor is looking at your one million subscribers without a doubt!!!!LOL
He be thirsty
You should ask him about the rocks and cows…. 😂😂
Interesting video. That was a long difficult commute for work, time for a vacation 😂😂😂
🚜🚜🚜
I would like to hear a conversation between Zach and the Governor. I think it would be interesting.
Such a great channel. Enjoyed by many walks of life. Foolish to think this channel is mostly viewed by conservative farmers... but you know, farm around and find out 🤠
The corn came up really uneven here in west central iowa as well. Now it's tasseling uneven. Too much h2o!!
As someone from SW Iowa who remembers that a year ago it was bone dry for at least 6' down, I'm not complaining about the added moisture...
Stay the hell away from them politicians, you should know their intentions when he doesn’t want you to record your conversation
“Well thats fitting” 😂
I’ve been watching this channel for a number of years now and I along with my family love this content. It transports you from reality for a little bit and lets us take a sneak leak into a life most of us don’t have and it’s awesome.i along with probably most of us all vote the same way from the looks of it but if it matters keep this politics free. World has enough of this bs getting thrown into our faces whether we like it or not. P.S. Where’s the American flag on the top of the bins!!!!!!
hi there Zack, I think it would be interesting to have the Governer on like off the husk podcast with live q & a from the taxpayers of Minnesota, Farmers, and Business owners let you and us, ask him the really hard questions. I am small business owner in southern Minnesota.
That sounds awfully uncomfortable 😂
@@jerradjuhl7789 he won’t allow questions without being prepared for them!! People in politics don’t like being blindsided by real questions. So that’ll never happen unfortunately!
@@jfrette2004 I am sure you very right on that one, but it would be interesting to make the Governer uncomfortable and answer hard questions for some of his policies.
@@jerradjuhl7789 totally agree
@@MillennialFarmer no doubt.
I watch because you put out (not like that) down to earth farming content viewable for those like me. Youre witty and real. Stay true to yourself and do what you think is right because in the end it always is.
I enjoy your channel tremendously, please don’t let it get clouded with politicians.
Don't do it!😮
that last one with Tim is a huge huge no no
No Politicians!!! Please!!!!!!!
Nothing out here but rocks and cows .
