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.

Helping a farmer is literally helping yourself. Farmers feed the planet. Without farmers the society we all live in currently would end. Thanks Zach for bringing this amazing charity to light.
Well not cash crops but sure
@@Nickolastrz cash crops feed the planet.
@@Nickolastrz your pork chops, steak, and Thanksgiving turkey enjoyed cash crops.
All forms of farming feed the world. We all share a part.
@@MillennialFarmer its like people are that ignorant to think chickens don't eat grains 🤣🤦♂️
We can't thank you enough for highlighting our organization and the incredible volunteers (like yourself) who make these efforts possible. God bless and you're welcome back anytime!
Highly respect the lot of you for stepping up when a person falls on hard times... As a rancher not a farmer, We would helpout our fellow neighbors & vice versa... This is a KEY part of showing the entire world to be kind & help your fellow man... We are ALL here for just a small amount of time but if we all choose to help one another maybe, just maybe the rest of the world will follow the lead....
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do! You guys are invaluable to many im sure. Going to subscribe to support 👍
@@chriscanterbury8647 thanks for the kind words!
@@FarmRescueabsolutely! You guys should make more videos so people can watch and support you through TH-cam revenue and advertising profits and its a good way to advertise for your sponsors. I'm sure you could find a few volunteers to tackle the recording, editing and posting of the videos if need be. I'm sure many people would come over from millennial farmer also if you got something going to partner with him to Kickstart it. That's how I found you guys. People actually seem to love watching you guys and the combines work along with myself. Hearing people's stories and knowing you can support them by just watching the videos helps too along with being able to joing a paid channel subscription and have a donate button right there. Getting it in front of people all in one place will help alot too. Best of luck to you all!
@@FarmRescue Do you take volunteers with next to no farming experience?
It's all about being a decent human being. Zach, you have a memory of your family being helped, and that memory encourages that behavior towards others. It's just another example of the love and respect that exists in rural America. It does my heart good to see it. With all the bad things we hear about constantly, it's so nice to see people doing the right thing. Help out. Not for the accolades, not for recognition, but because it's right. Thank You, and Thanks to all those volunteers... What a bunch of 1st class folks they are...
When my uncle Ralph died unexpectedly, the entire community in the town in Kansas he lived in came out to harvest his crop.
As a young child in the 60s I remember a neighbor had passed away and all the neighbors got together and got the crops in. The women were busy making food and everyone had a great day of work, food and visiting. Great video.
I was a combine operator on a custom cutting crew in the 1970s. It wasn't unusual for our crew to join up with others and end up with 6 to 10 combines in an 80 acre field and have it cut out in an hour for a family in need. The owners of our crews paid all the expenses.
My father was sick in 2013. I would get up at 4am to feed our cattle before heading off to work. On many of those evenings after work, I would arrive home to discover that our neighbours would have already been to the farm, finished up any jobs that’s needed doing and were gone. Farming has evolved a lot since your grandad was sick in 1960, but the care and spirit that existed in the farming community then still lives on today.
Not all Angels have wings. Some have combines and tractors. Thank you guys.
I don't have any money and I don't have a CDL - but I have over 2000 connections on LinkedIn and a few hundred on FB, so I shared the video to those platforms. Hope that helps.
Best thing you can ever do help one another especially in need.
Little late on this, farmers helping farmers is life long tradition. We just helped out a neighbor who fell off of the top of his combine, shattering his shoulder. 150acres of corn brought in by the neighbors, fellow farmers. Thank you Zach for highlighting this. God blessings on farmers.
That's amazing. My dad was in a bad accident in 2017 and we had soybeans to combine and we had 7 neighbors come out to help combine
I’m sorry I must have something in my eye, awesome people. Thank you.
The footage of this video was fantastic -whoever you hired to run the camera did a great job.
But the look on his face when you handed him the check was the best part.
After watching the news recently I told my wife I've all but given up on humanity, then I watch this! Thank you gentelmen for what you are doing and helping those that need a hand. This is what's right with the world and I applaud you for it. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Good people are still alive and well.
Believe it or not
We exist..Come join in be alive and contribute.
We are all human beings..
Back in the early 80's, my neighbor blew out his knee and was unable to work his ground and plant. A bunch of neighbors showed up one day with extra equipment and prepped and planted all his ground in one day.
There was one small patch of ground hardly big enough for larger equipment to turn around in, so I took my 1946 John Deere A and an 8 foot wheel disc over, to disc it up good enough to plant. 🤠
All of you on the list on that Combine deserve a medal of honor.. Fighting for the people who feed the country.
In 64 my dad slipped a disk in his back during spring planting. The entire neighborhood finished tilling and planting and fed the cattle and hogs. Neighbor ladies fed the farmers and we had frozen leftovers forever....hahaha. It was awesome to see how fast it went. 3 days of non stop chaos. Mom was frazzled. She could never find me. So I was as usual always in trouble. It was a humbling grateful moment for my parents. What a fantastic bunch of people they were. Some of them are still alive. I am grateful to them too. Raymond is only 35 miles or so west of that farm. Ironically it is virtually a straight road until the last jog of 2 miles between farms.
Grew up on the farm. Know first-hand about farmers helping farmers. Been donating to Farm Rescue for 4 years.
Best video ever. Just warms my heart. We were a century dairy farm in Pa. Muscular Dystrophy, cancer, Alzheimers and more have demolished our farm. ...I have dedicated my life to care for my family. If I had the time I sure would love to get a deal like this going out here. I am currently fixing up my Mom and Dads homestead to host cancer families to have all expenses paid vacations here out in the country . What a super group of HERO'S. TY Zac for being a part of this amazing group of folks.
Great Work Zach! Grandpa always taught us that it was our duty to always give back to the community, every year we shared beef from our steers or vegetables from our garden. If a neighbor was short on feed we could share some of ours, we always put up extra hay incase a neighbor needed help. Grandpa said planning ahead to have extra was never optional, we might be hurting and need it or a neighbor might need it. He also said paying it forward was also not optional, giving vegetables and beef when we had plenty incase we ever hit hard times and had to ask for help. I wish more people were raised that way. Thanks for sharing.
See the field behind the plow
Turn to straight dark rows
Put another season's promise in the ground
@@fritznien Stan Rogers, one of Canadas greats!
Watching your channel is always enjoyable being able to follow a hard working farm family keeping their farm running like it's been run for generations. A segment like this really highlights where your head and heart are at, simply helping folks out that are having a rough time and showing us all what a great outfit Farm Rescue is. Great job, Zach. You are a class act.
Thank you very much sir
I have watched hundreds of acres sold and Amazon Distribution warehouses replace crops.
Local government encourage this because they get more tax revenue.
This won't stop until it is too late.
What you are doing is trying to save farms and I thank you.
Thank you for this video. As a farmer with 48 years experience with JD combines and a class A CDL I will get in touch with these guys. Pay back/forward👍.
This is great back when I was a freshman in high-school we had an farming accident and our whole farming community shut down their operations and came and ran our grain, we only had 800 acres left but there were at least 4 combines 3 grain carts and 20 trucks lined up ready to help. God bless our farmers.
Well done to everyone involved in Farm Rescue,Keep up the great work you are all doing.🚜👍
This is what the world is lacking. Putting others first.
Instead of been the selfish people that most of us are.
I’m definitely for helping others.
It’s just apart of who I am.
The farther you get out of the cities and get into the tighter communities the more you see this
Love the guys face when Zak handed the check over, he looked shocked. Well done Zak and all involved
Way the go Zach and farm rescue and all the donors. As a small boy my dad was sick and the neighbors pretty much did his farming for 2 yrs. A few yrs later my uncle was hurt in s farm accident and the same neighbors did his farming for a yr. It was never forgotten by either of them or by us surviving kids even to today. It the Christian thing people are suppose to do.
Farm Rescue contacted me in 90s. But I had already set up with a custom harvester. I had helped out a few times in past. Still have helped others. It’s very rewarding. It’s fun when someone needs cornstalks bales moved. The adults were in hospital. Kids hauling with hay racks. I hooked up 32’ GN flatbed. Pulled up to load. 2nd load “um why are you here?” As they handed me lunch. Done before dark. It’s fun.
We were glad to haul the Farm Rescue 8r to the Farm Progress Show. What an awesome organization! Great job Zach!
Thank you Neisen, God bless you.
Just made a donation. An incredibly vital life line to farmers to whom we literally owe our sustenance. Thanks, Zach for sharing this video.
Superb Zach. Farmers are so independent and stubborn, they think they can handle everything and do not ask for help.
Hopefully a lot of US Farmers are watching your channel and realise that there is help for them in an emergency.
Dude, you have a heart of gold and are an amazing role model for many people. If more people were half as good a dude as you are the world would be better place. I wish I could do more than just leave a compliment.
I was just lucky to show up and run a combine and a camera. The Farm Rescue guys were really the ones getting it all done, as they always do
I have a feeling you help out by watching Zach’s videos. We may not have been able to do the manual labor or donate $$$. But we sit through his videos and watch the guy who portrays the millennial farmer and his awesome dad jokes. Nice work zach. A great role model.
Jodah, you may have done far more than "just leave a compliment". How? Others may start to ponder what you said. Comments you left were positive. So what?? We all are like a rock dropped into a lake. Each word spoken and each action carried out, is just like the ripples in the water from the dropped rock. We effect each persons life we come in contact with each day, for "good or for bad." Like the ripples, you cant undo them.
So many good people and organizations in this world that never get a mention. Thanks Zach for highlighting this great program. Our farmers are the lifeblood of our nation and the world and without them all our comforts would be just a dream.
Decent folk, helping decent folk. If everyone of us could do this it would put back the Kind in Mankind. Nice job all.
zack if i had the money id buy a tractor instead of the donation amount listed . And if it counted on donation on views i would play this video a million times. Thank you for all you and your family does with Farm Rescue etc!
Farm Rescue is really incredible.
Hats off to you Zach and to all the volunteers and companies.
I am impressed that John Deere realizes that keeping family farms alive through a temporary crisis is good for their business. Nice story.
Appreciate you highlighting this program!
Farm Rescue came to help our farm with soybean harvest a few years ago. My brother was being treated at Mayo Clinic at the time. Great organization helping farmers.
My grandpa is a major role model in my life. I live in town, but the farm is where I will always be happiest. He has 3 rules that he says if you want to work on this farm you have to follow, 1. God always has your back, and will always lead you in the right direction 2. Always live up to your promises. He says living and working on a farm isn’t just about working your ground and your ground only, but when a neighbor calls you never hesitate to drop what you are doing and help them in a time of need. 3. Never work a day without thanking god. You can have rough days but never ever walk out to the shop in the morning and not thank go for the beautiful day he has blessed you with. This really puts that into perspective. Thanks Zach for sharing this, and thanks Grandpa Bob for teaching me all these lessons that everyone should know.
Amen.
Farmers helping farmers. Long history of that
Class act Zach, you not only volunteered for the day you then made a donation that I suspect would have purchased a lot more Hoodies and Hats than you received and didn't even say how much it was.
It's going to be corny, but you are a man outstanding in the field. Your dedication to not only your family but to the whole community is what we need more of. Zach, thank you for all of the awareness that you bring.
Good to hear some good in this world thats so full of negativity and bad things. Huge respect from the UK
The gulp that guy took when you handed him that check said a bunch. Thanks for what you are doing, man.
Zach - your Grandpa passed away in the same year as my Grandpa - 1960. Mine passed away in November 1960 and I was born a month later. He owned a dairy, farmed row crops and was in the timber business. I wish he could’ve lived long enough to meet his first grandchild; me. 😢 Thank you for helping Farm Rescue!! You are a great ambassador and promoter of family farms 👍
Helping your neighbors is what farmers do.
Dad was a heavy equipment operator, trucker, farmer, and had a small herd of black angus. For years, it seemed to be one-sided that he was helping so many people.
But then, Mom called me crying with tears of gratitude. She shared with me what had just happened.
Dad would usually get three cuttings of hay off of a certain field. The second cutting was the cash crop. It had a reputation to be so good that the horse barns would usually preorder it.
An unexpected shift in winds was bringing a storm into the valley that wasn't originally forecasted. The word got out that Dad had been caught with hay on the ground. He was out in the field; but he was going to run out of time.
Mom said that, without being asked, every tractor, rake, baler, truck, etc arrived, with a lot of able-bodied men and teens.
The last bale went under cover just before the first rain drop.
Dad, and most of those men, are gone now. But they all get extra prayers when I'm reminded of this example of being neighbors.
My Lil' Bro & I were blessed to be raised within these understandings and expectations. He's raising
Dad's grandkids to be the same.
I don't know how much was written on that check, but the look on that man's face says enough to know that it was a substantial amount. What a wonderful sense of community, among many other things, you're helping to usher into the new millennium.
I grew up on a farm. I so want to volunteer for farm rescue … I have limited skills but will to learn.
God bless you Zack. A TH-camr who isn’t just worried about himself. You’re a true example to your community.
Zac great video. In Australia 🇦🇺 during bad drought's and floods there's a lot of fodder drives, some deliveries could be 2 thousand kilometres..all my 73 years Farmers have helped each other in hard times.
Keep up the good work and you'll get ya million subscribers 👏 🙌
This really hit home for me. My uncle was a farmer in Darwin, MN who passed four years ago. I live in Ohio and spent at least a week most summers as a kid with my aunt and uncle in MN. From his diagnosis he only made it 6 months roughly. When he couldn't finish harvest, he called a couple of his closest friends (they were honored he called them), one of whom spoke at the funeral. Your videos bring me back to the struggles and joy my family faced. Funny too, my great uncle used to own the track you race at, though I don't follow between the rows.
It's so cool that Zach isn't a greedy youtuber and all the money he gets goes into his equipment but to other stuff that helps other people instead if him
As one of the volunteers,I can tell you it is a great blessing to be able to help those in need.
Thank you Arnold, God bless you.
I am thankful my grandpa never had to have people help him. Such an honorable thing you are doing Zach.
I didn't know their was an official organization that did this. I'm sure there is nothing more rewarding for the volunteers than helping someone bring in their harvest when they physically can't do it.
My parents who used to have a farm have a picture of 20-30 farmers plowing a field they just harvested for a sick farmer in Manitoba.
OK Zack, you hooked me good on this one. As a city kid who was blessed with farmer uncles & aunts, grandparents and a wonderfully close farm community, I was always a farm junkie, the only town kid in FFA; my project wasn't an animal, it was in media, public speaking on farm/FFA issues, Camp Courage (MN FFA's service project in the 60s) becoming the first kid to win a State award for my work.
I would never been able to achieve the high points of my life and career without my farm and FFA experiences. In honor of my family's farmers now long gone it is an honor to make a donation in ther honor and memory. Thanks for giving us this opportunity!
Great cause, great video! So glad you highlighted this wonderful organization. I’m sure the 1000 families helped would agree everyone donating or volunteering are Angels sent from above in their time of need. God Bless them all.
Gentlemen, that's strong work. In this "every man for himself" mentality, this is refreshing.
That is the way we farmers were all brought up. No questions asked. I’m here to help
Thanks Zach and Farm Rescue for being such kind people!!!!! Thanks for doing God's Work!!!!! Thanks to all the Farmers around the U.S.A. know we love you and you are SO APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!
There is an abundance of things in this country to divide and separate us. It’s refreshing and restorative to see people helping people who are in need. Great program!
Not all Angels have wings. God bless you and your family.
Normal routine for us when the need arises to help out a neighbor. Last one I did 12 combines showed up and it was over in one afternoon. No planning needed we all knew what to do, the ratio might be off but we all had the same goal. Nice coverage Zack on the organization. 👍
I spent close to ten years in upper Iowa and southern Minnesota. I was amazed with how much everyone just pulled together to get things done.
Thanks zach for sharing that you brought a tear to my eyes .I know the feeling I lost my wife to cancer at the age of 46 . 9 years ago and know the struggles with that . And can't amagine having that on your plate and the farm as well . That struggle would be real or any other health issues besides cancer . Keep up the great work and sharing it cheer's.
It was a different time in 1959,the year I was born, and 1960. People knew the meaning of helping one another and practiced it also. It's also great to see there are organizations that still help those in need. Mr. Johnson I salute you for helping those farmers that are in need.
They helped my family in 2017 I believe it was. My grandpa had cancer. I enjoyed working with those guys.
Incredible cause - and not too surprising in that farmers are among the most close knit, honest, caring and hardworking people you would ever meet. God bless you all for putting food on our tables. Thank you to all the volunteers of Farm Rescue, you're heaven sent 🙏
Paying it forward on a massive scale. Nice to see. 👍🏼
Thanks Zac and Becky for giving the folks at Farm Rescue some PR that highlights one of the good groups out there doing what’s needed whenever asked. We will help add to that purchase check you gave them to keep them out in the field helping feed America. God bless JD and all those sponsors.
So cool to see those guys help farmers out in a time of need. I was shocked to see the Farm Rescue trucks hauling into the same elevator as me this fall, now even crazier to see you were there helping them at the same time as I was seeing them!
Such a great cause! The Millennial Farmer family and Millennial Farmer virtual family is so amazing
Get this man to a million allready geez
God bless you Zack
Farm Rescue is an awesome organization. A few years ago they helped two brothers who farmed near me when the one was diagnosed with leukemia. They harvested their crops for them.
After the video I went to the Farm Rescue site and made a donation. Making that donation was something that left me with a deep sense of pride and I was happy to be able to help. It was my feel good moment of the week.
Thank you Dave!
God Bless you, Zach.
It's really nice to see that when my father passed away the cancer everyone wanted me to fail it's nice to see that people come and help
I wish we had this up in southwestern Ontario Canada you guys rock sometimes neighbors don't want to help out I don't know why we've helped them out for a long time
Thank you for helping that family, and being a part of Farm Rescue. I didn't know they existed until your video. I grew up in a farming community and farmers were always helping each other. Our neighbors house burned when I was small. Everyone in the community jumped in and helped them.
Thanks to everyone that volunteers. That's a great group for an incredible cause
My 5 year old nephew was killed in a tragic farm accident. It was during hay season. A bunch of our neighbors pitched in and got the hay we had down all baled and stacked away. Farmers helping farmers
Do too the fact that their is not enough hours in A-day, I Have had to reduce the amount of farm channels I watch to 3. This video proves keeping MFR was a smart decision. Your parents did a great job Zach!!
Thanks to Farm Rescue and thanks to Zach & Becky for their support of Farm Rescue and farm safety! Great video. I guess they must have had their combine dialed in. When Zach first got into the combine, I was picturing Zach on the phone figuring out a code that popped up!
This is an awesome group of guys and an amazing cause I grew up in a small farming community in Ontario and when anyone struggled on a farm we banded together and helped out no matter what needed to be done
similar here but more dairy, but just getting cows fed and milked for a few days can make a massive difference
That's really cool and kind of people remember we are Americans and we need to stick and band together in times of need. Good luck to that family in need remember we should all come together. God bless 🙌
Excellent job Becky on the editing and good on you Zach for giving back
Volunteering is good for the soul. A secret every volunteer knows, the feeling that you get from helping others is something many pay millions of dollars to try and achieve. Or, put another way, when you volunteer, you save yourself. Good on you Zach.
Thanks for another great video.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Zach thanks to you for giving them a day to help with that harvest.
Great organization that does great work for farmers in need.
Just great. Wonderful to help a farmer in a time of need. Thanks again Zach.
The Iowa farm boy.
That’s what Mid-America is all about. The rest of the country could take a lesson. Nice video Zach!
As a military veteran this is equal to above that a patriot is.
May the sun shine on these God blessed volunteers.
The look on that guys face when you handed him that check for more “shirts” really says how much any donations helps out this amazing company
im sure that donation had a couple zero at the end!
I’ve seen the amazing work that Farm Rescue has done, which embodies what our farmers do. Just like the neighbors did for your grandfather years ago. Their work helps keep family farms in the family! I love that.
In October 1955 my dad came down with polio just as he was going to harvest his corn. His farm was not that big in the early fifties but our neighbor harvested his corn for him. Fortunately, they had found the cure for it in 1954. He survived it but couldn't do the heavy work anymore.
People helping people. To those farmers - it don’t get much better than that!
Gotta leave one more comment..being from ND i have always known of farm rescue and the wonderful things they do..its too bad that national news doesn't do an hour long story on farm rescue to show the entire world ..no matter how busy ..farmers always lend a hand when in need..and farm rescue is an organization that truly deserves praise and donations!
That is awesome what Farm Rescue does!
