    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.

    Great video, it shows what a lot of farmers are dealing with this year. You also did a good job explaining the brittle corn that was breaking, and how you had to get as much as you can before it is laying on the ground. There are no easy decisions, and you have to harvest to make a living.

    It's a rough life compared to the days of dairy farmers getting up at 5:30 AM to milk cows. Then moving the crop harvested the day before into storage and getting equipment ready until the fields dried out. Running tractors without cabs spending the day harvesting then milking cows again at 5:30 PM.
