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.

Gotta say, I love how the architecture of your machine shed really blends into the landscape!
Just u wait till the tax man adds his bill for the transparent shed. They are expensive!
It's the new Stealthshed 3000
The color coordination is amazing...
I love the easy access from all sides. Kinda unique in a way
i agree
When Jim said “ohhhh you bastard” just know that farmers all across the country knew exactly how he felt and what he meant in that moment.
Rough language is the best grease for fixing things on the farm.
Workin’ words
Onyx Cam? Jim Cam? Weeeeee want!! Please!
Agree, agree with me everyone!
Need a dige and Ana cam
Where is Onyx when there is work to do? Goofing-off at school??
Yes
Yess!!!
I love the relationship with your dad. You can tell that you respect his knowledge and opinion, but he also respects your opinion and new technology you bring to the farm. I feel like you will be the same with your up and coming family farmers.
Your dad is really doing well with his new knees! So glad for him!! Great dealing with problems, sure hope your strip-tiller stays working.
He really know how to make a good video
21:55 Don't hurt The Jim! The Jim must be protected at all costs!
I still can't believe how much natural light your new shed brings in.
Gotta say, I love how my 2755 hydraulic levers are connected directly to the valve banks, and don't require computers to give them permission to function.
As someone who farms with a 70 year old...I can appreciate the "we just got that 12 years ago" T-shirt 👕
I come from a long line of farmers on both sides of my family. I’ve always enjoyed being around agriculture, have a deep respect for agriculture, and love to see the advancements in modern technology in action on your farm. While I don’t actively work on a farm anymore these days and miss it dearly, your videos make me feel like I’m right there. You have no idea how happy that makes me. I really hope you don’t ever stop making these videos as they keep the public informed about the reality of how hard and stressful farming can be, but also the amazing sense of accomplishment that comes with it. I’ve always had the utmost respect and admiration for farmers and what they do for this great nation and the world, and you and your wonderful family are no exception. Best wishes on a safe and successful harvest from Maryland!
He really know how to make a good video
You hate ur miserable life, if u enjoyed what u do u wouldnt be seeking validation and makung a public spectacle of ur self
I’m a farmer from maryland
The sheer work, both what we see on camera and what we don't see, editing and production, etc. It blows me away how hard you guys work, always great to see a new upload. Love your stuff guys!
The American way. Work hard play hard
There are times it's a TON of work, and times we get to enjoy ourselves an unnecessary amount
@@MillennialFarmer coming from a ranching background the summer was super busy and winter was wrenching and feeding cows. Never ends.
Nice to see how you and your dad work together. Best asset on your organization
I laughed when you said smoke wrench at the torch, in the Netherlands we call it a fire wrench
I love the way you interact with your dogs. All your videos start with your dogs and you include them throughout. It tells me a lot about your character. Also, the way you include your kids is special. I cracked-up the other day when you said Onyx had a misunderstanding with his mom. She said unload the dishwasher and he thought she said go out in the yard and do donuts! 😂😂
He really know how to make a good video
After watching MF, Chet/BS/Brody, Cole/DS/and of course Cooper, Welker’s, etc. It is amazing to me how versatile you all must be from welding/cutting, mechanical work reading the weather/crops and soil conditions, and dang near Electrical engineer trying to figure out some of the computer systems. Amazing. Great job.
What about Mike Michell from Canada??
I have not watched them....until now TU
That first post sure kinda looked a lot like a pipeline marker post! Lol
Jim does use working words in the heat of the moment. Another one of those quick repair jobs that turns into a fight. Carry on!
I get going, I sound like Yosemite Sam
When he said that I was like, "Yup, been there before" 😂
This is my 3rd harvest watching, and the videos are just going up and up in quality!
Same here. I started watching in 2020 and have been hooked ever since. Larson & Welker Farms too.
@@Jagley Border View Farms is good also , father son team and uncle in background with one day delay content which is nice and about 3 or 4 per week
Hey Zach you got your voice back. 👍👍
Yeah those allergies can be a pain in the ass.
Anyway I'm glad you and your Dad and Jim and the rest of the family are doing well.
I'm keeping Andy's family in my prayers. Sad he passed.😔😔.
ONE Million subs are right around the corner! Can’t wait to see the dogs first ride!
Sure have some beautiful pups there. Really enjoyed the video. Thank you. God Bless you all.
It's been 35 years since I left the farm, but I can still smell the beans going into the bin and feel the itch of the dust from them.
I am glad you guys are harvesting and tilling. It is great to see you all another year.
Between your dad, Jim, and yourself you have a lot of experience available for problem-solving. I hope the corn goes fast and easy, I know it's a lot colder where you are now.
Omfg. This guy is a pathetic little whiny bych who hates his life. Thats the only reason he posts videos. To validate his mewnjngless life
Y'know I'd love to sit down over a rye and some steaks and here the Johnson's family history and also Jim's history, that man seems like a freakin gem.
Really enjoy these busy times on your farm. Thank you for sharing and putting in all the work of making the videos and editing Them. Guess the last part is a very Big job.
All the best from us here in Denmark
You guys are amazing how you work on all these machines, operate all the computers, etc. The world has no idea the depth of knowledge required for today's farmer. I know I had no clue before watching all of the farmers on YT. Thanks for all you do to put food on the table and keep the county running.
Every farm needs a "Jim" He is one cool dude
I know it's long days, hard work, but you and your family are a great team,
I can really appreciate you invisible hangar for Wonder Woman’s invisible jet!
Congratulations on the new corn head. It's a beatu Clark. I remember those days, thousands of things to do at once. Great video.
Yep. U'll get the hang of it and then corn better watch out. I enjoy watching u'all getting the things together. Let the things work as they should and get it done.
So many working pieces to your whole operation. Saw you say on Instagram recently something breaks down every day. I can imagine it's a great day when only one things breaks down or doesn't work as intended.
That gate might have been sold as a kit from the Sears and Roebuck catalog. I remember seeing a few of that style in the 1950s including one on my grandparents farm.
When you talk combines you never really now how huge they are until you open side panels up and practically can step into the moving parts side. They are a beast.
You must have the tranparent aluminum Mr. Scott gave the computer. They can fly it in with a Huey 2. :)
I had a sign post once like that fence post. It started pulling a full-size backhoe sideways enough to make me lower the stabilizer on that side to level it back up.
can't wait to see the new corn head working..
Your teaching me about farming life and it is what I want to do is farming I'm just following my dreams of becoming a farmer and your so far the best TH-cam farmer
have you ever thought of live streaming? maybe itd be to much to focus on at once but i think it could be nice to see the nitty gritty of what goes on around the farm off camera
16:41 Luv the voice over for the dog LMAO
Thank you again for taking the time to share your life with us. J.Au-en
slowly but surely we crawling up that 1million Anna.. sit tight
I'm glad that we're seeing more dad footage. You won't regret it when he's gone!
“Duck pee” 😂 My Dad called it Panther Piss!
As a rust belt maintenance tech myself, keep some of your kids old Crayola Crayons on your torch cart. You mentioned the wax in tech but the crayons do the same thing and you can actually see the wax puddle getting sucked in. Does wonders on brake bleeders too.
Looking forward to seeing the new corn head running. I think your going to love it!!
I like how you manage to keep all the balls in the air
Make sure you grease the lower tensioner pulley on the fan, on the right side of the machine
We need more Nate and Jim. Would
Really love to have story time after harvest. Either video or podcast!! Good luck with harvest.
Hi Zach , today I saw your post about the number of negative comments that you get. I really enjoy everything about your TH-cam and I hold you in high regard for the family and business that your have created. Good kids and a strong business it appears. My advice; delete the negative before you finish reading them. Don’t subject yourself to them. Best regards from Ontario Canada
Man... the camo design on the new shed is great!!!
Hey Zach, you should look into ceramic coating the glass on the combines and tractors, it helps mitigate dust accumulation.
That was some pretty impressive redirecting there Zack. Admittedly, the only thing you could do, but you did it dang good. I think one of the problems with farming is the size of the farm. The larger the farm, the more things that can break or go bad. I like seeing how you all deal with it and make it all work. Thanks again for letting me tag along and learn.
These days the larger size of the farm[compared to years past] is required so a reasonable income/lifestyle can be made/had from it.
Also the number of families still farming is getting less and less every year. And it is very expensive for someone to start farming from scratch.
He really know how to make a good video
Great video. We love all the new video posts.
That’s nice of y’all to ask about common fences with your neighbors. I wish y’all could be my neighbors. My neighbors just destroy stuff regardless of the consequences.
Do they complain at work cutting fence out of their equipment? Or be combining corn. I find a large round bail went thru fence, in over 8 rows.
@@larrythompson8630 one neighbor would cut down trees, let them fall on the fence. Then cut the tree off the fence and push the tree trunk on my side. Had a common barbed wire fence with another neighbor along the roadside. The neighbor decided fence wasn’t necessary on his property. Cut the fence and let it lay on my side without telling me.
Smoke wrench 😅
I never tire of hearing joke names for the Gas Axe
Things are gettin' real when the air impact and torch come out 👨🔧
Your dad is seriously the best✝️🤙
I like the new shed. It allows a lot of natural light in.😂
I think for the heads folding function you'll have to go into your setting where you unfold you tank, but I'm not sure.
“Let me use you as a rag”😂
I love it when ole Rosebud comes out to play. Oh sorry. "Smoke Wrench". You got a lot going on. Looking forward to seeing cab corn this year.🤣
New subscriber and I'm already hooked. As an ex-IT guy, I won't tell you how much I got paid to turn things off and on.
I'm glad you called them snouts on the new corn head, it drives me crazy when other farm videos "cole the corn star" call them snoots,, plus combining corn. It's shelling corn and cutting beans.
Great video love when the 3 of you work together. Jim is always great addition to your videos.
Zach good to see we're not the only ones to get the rotar lever changed over. Wish John Deere would do something to it.
Yuppers, it's the time of year farmers are busy beyond belief for non farmers.
I remember hearing the corn being processed at my small farm home town Into meal at oir local mill for feed and corn meal to be bajed into corn bread and such.
Farm equipment had the right of way outside city limits.
The mill is now a second hand store the silo still there now pretty much a pigeon nest.
It's interesting how much farming has changed with the new tractors and equipment.
Much more work involved setting up and transfering between crops.
Love these videos as it’s so real, I was a farmer in Scotland urs ago but now a trucker in England but do miss farming so much 👌👌👌🏴🏴
Your videos are cathartic for me. I grew up on a farm, but sadly my father died when I was 10 and we were no longer able to operate it. I look forward to your videos and would love to learn more about Nate 1.0 & Jim. Thanks
Love your father what a great man
It’s good to see Jim again in the videos!
Love how all, not some, but all your machines are in immaculate condition.
Zack you and your Dad make a helluva of a great team! You are very blessed! Thanks for giving us these great videos. I miss being on the farm. Hard work but it is the closest to God you can get.
It's Zach, not Zack, Karen.
Electric motor bearings are pretty easy to change they are heat/press fit. I use to remove them with a 3 jaw puller and an impact.
To put it on you can drive it with a sleeve or heat it to about 170-200 degrees Fahrenheit. Then it will slide on. This is assuming the shaft is ok and the housing is ok.
Saw your response to the haters on TikTok. I’m an old retired stockbroker that lives in California and knew nothing about farming. Thank you for showing me what it takes to be a modern farmer. One last thing fuck the haters.
The transparent walls are a go to, they really open up the space
Hey y'all are the first to have a stealth equipment shed. Good thing you had Jim come back to the shop. Better to be busy than not.
"Smoke wrench"....love it!!🤣
The cat comment reminded me of when my late Mother found me dusting the polished dinner table with the kitten. She wasnt amused 😕😔
Brought a tear of memory and of laughter to my eye..
Thanks Zach...as always.
Great to see Jim back on.
Been following a long time. Always wondered what Jim did before. He seems like a super handy guy to have around. Maybe a video on his background would be great sometime
Love watching you and your dad work together
Need to mount a chain hook at the center of the loader bucket so you're not twisting the loader when pulling posts.
I agree. We always used the draw bar or 3 point to pull posts...., and trees.
Just finished my harvesting. Tough stuff, out in the yard with scissors. Hanging it inside. God it must have taken 4 hours.
Another good Video. Jim jad to use the liquid hot wrench good thing he brought it back to the shop. Stay safe guys busy time for you guys for sure
Hi 👋 it's amazing how much maintenance you do. I guess it just one of them things when you work the equipment hard. It's great watching the ins and outs of what you do. Cheers
O the wrench torque tool, lol, been there on disc and bearing change on that old krause offset disc, I do remember great days in 70s & early 80s on the farm
Can't you wait until everything is powered by wind and Solar in MN. Those brown outs will be great during harvest.
I like your dad a lot Zac. He’s a good man.
Great video Zach. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Can’t wait to see that corn head fold 👍
You should do a time lapse video of the new shed being constructed.
This right here, time lapse of the whole project.
Too bad we didn’t think of along before the old shed was cleared off the site
I've seen a few people mention that. I'm going to try to set it up!
@@MillennialFarmer put a cam on top of the dryer or a bin
@@MillennialFarmer should use 24/7 live video like Syman Says Farm with Aaron and Liz.
The power company could have lost a phase momentarily and all your motor starters that are magnetically held could have loss control power and dropped out. Just guessing. 👍🏻. Great video Zack as always.
I want a Q&A with Jim - maybe get him on Off the Husk? He looks like he's had an intresting life.
As nice as those loader controls are, one of my favorite to use to be honest, they are junk. I've used one where I had to keep flicking that safety switch a few times before the control worked. Somedays it worked normal, others it was a constant nuisance all day. The only fix we were told was to replace the whole joystick, which is not very cheap
Your father seems such a great guy, can see where you get it from. Thanks for sharing more of your journey with us.
A "smoke wrench", BFH, an impact wrench and some "workin' words" guarantees a successful farm repair...EVERY time!
Maybe protect the motor and the controls on the bins get a sheet metal company to make like a cover for it so it stays dry when you are not using it. The weather probably is not good for the Motors and levers.
Clean look on that transparent shop - I like it!
Could you share more about what you were saying to do with the wax? It got my attention.
I'll get right on it.
