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.

Our neighbor cut our 1 acre pasture with his big-ole bat-wing mower. Took less than 10 minutes, and hundreds of little trees were turned to mulch. It's an awesome machine.
I've been watching these videos for awhile by Minnesota, probably because of my life history with farming over many years. My best high school friend died a couple of weeks ago. We both grew up on a farm near Corunna, Michigan. We went off to school. I got drafted into the Army, sent to Vietnam, and blown up. My friend went into the Army came back, got married, and had 3 beautiful girls. One of his daughters died from cancer 18 months ago leaving behind 3 young children. Watching Minnesota's family growing up reminds me of my family and my friend's family. Time goes so fast. My friend was a field representative of Case Tractor for 35 years. He covered states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and others. He loved his God, Country, and Family. Minnesota might not read this, but for posterity I wanted to remember a dear life long friend with a beautiful family. What can I say after a 60 year friendship? Cherish every second. MF, your family is very precious, my sincerest regards.
Really sad for your loss.
I like when he says "You okay?"
IKR thats like my favorite part
Same
Thunder ⛈!!!!!!!
Best part of my day!
"You ok?"
I am now!
Me 3!!
I never get tired of the " Hey, are you ok?"
I know how it is to be proud. My 8yo son has taken a liking to running our mini excavator. He's getting good!
Watching those kids having a blast on that atv puts a smile on my face
Yeah me too, and makes me kinda jealous that i had only a simple Kettcar as a kid. XD
Listen I’m not a framer by far but I use to pass by a lot of Farm on my route. But I have a lot of respect for all framer for what all you guys do. Now for u sir thanks keep me interested in what you have going on
My dad used to work for woods. They have a beautiful production facility in central Illinois. He was a welder on the batwing mowers.
That’s a big orange mower right there
Man full throttle those girls are taking after there dad need for speed how fun
You know you are in minnesota when the farmers have their long johns on under their shorts ;)
Possible solution for displaying the flag, place some mounting brackets on a few implements for a flag. Your fields are miles apart and more community patrons will enjoy.
Batwing is awesome!!
3:18 Thank-you for putting my sibling back in the grass. It is our happy place.
You the man Zach! Farming is in my blood too. Started watching all your videos and it never gets old. I always liked thrashing corn and beans. I love your equipment you and your Dad have, smart choices. My Dad passed away a few years ago and we farmed next to each other when I was growing up. We farmed in Michigan different conditions but all else the same. I still could jump in the tractors and go. Jim and I could share stories. Please keep explaining your craft I love it. John Deere all the way. I wish I could do more to promote just how much you learn about life while taking the huge risk you take to invest in the soil and seeds to make a living. You have it figured out man!
Dipsticks on the gear cases? I am impressed!! And there was actually oil in them.
gotdeeres Our bushhog 2815MD has sight glasses for each gearbox
Sight glass will lie in a hearrt beat
Reese McClain vf
You never want to assume that new equipment has oil in the gear case. Ask me how I know that? I like the site tube idea.
If you don’t find oil on the dip sticks.....then order longer dip sticks.....thought you were a millennial
The gals don't like long, dark socks but when working in the dirt that is the way to go.
Amazing how much I learn about farming watching these !
It’s encouraging to hear you say things are looking good. Thank you
The PTO jack thing is a freakin' awesome idea. Wish our mower had one.
I am sooo glad you let us know you where wearing shorts. Could not for the life of me figure out why your legs disappeared ever time you walked across the shop floor. Might want to get a little color on those things . Wink,wink, nudge,nudge
I see a lot of Traffic Tickets in Onyx Future LOL
Glad im not the only one bitchin about mowing when its windy
You SHOULD be proud. Seeing those two little ones rippin' around on the Razor is about the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time! So jealous - I wished I had kids.
And you might be from Minnesota if you call the 70's "hot." hahaha
Starting to be a great weekend. Millennium Farmer! Yesss!
Happy Birthday to her.
We aren’t getting a lot of rain down here. Actually it’s so dry our grass is turning brown. Your kids will enjoy the razor!
Love woods. They are made in my home town of Oregon Illinois. Even though Illinois sucks.
Donta... I'm from Oregon also..... 2nd. st.
I love them too.
I make a lot of money fixing them
is there a great big indian looking over the river in Oregon, il? Blackhawk maybe? hope the liberals haven't pulled him down yet.
@@firstname6208 yes Blackhawk is still standing. They just got done repairing him so he could stand for many more years!!! I camp at the state park he's located at. Lowden state park. We love our history around here. John Deere made the first non stick plow 15 miles south of Oregon. His blacksmith shop still stands and is showed off along with the rest of the property he had. Wonderful place.
Nice new mower, but now will be more work, that's the way it works when you have a new machine isn't it? Greato see the girl having fun.
That is a beautiful piece of equipment and 🚜 as well.
Kids were cute tearing up the dirt. Wow, big job for Becky.
When we were growing up, my dad always told us that picking a rock up like that will cause all of your babies to be born "Naked"! And for that mini 4 wheeler and "Doughnuts" , our power play things always came with a garden rake to fill in the holes and slide marks in the driveway. Seriously, we quickly learned to stop doing those fun things. I love the new equipment but it"s all downhill after you get the first scratch on it! Love all of the videos!
I was brush hogging for 2 days. Neighbors are happy I did there field. I had my oldest son and his friend mow there yard. We said no $$$$ cause they help us around here.
Heart wrenching to watch a Mellennial struggle and sweat......😁
We bought a Woods mower years ago. It’s just the greatest.
When you pickedthat big rock up I groaned out loud :-)
My family farm has a woods batwing mower and they are excellent mowers
Must be very satisfying standing in the middle of those fields overlooking your kingdom.
Sprayer looks lush. ATV great fun, oh, and love the pool/decking.
I use to build/weld those things in Oregon,Illinois back in the 90's
Ive got a Woods.....Mow'n Machine lol Idk what year it is. Maybe 80s. My back up mower cuz I baby my Deere 318 😎
Hi octane, low drag!! Good fun, what a great dad.
Down here in Louisiana, 70° weather is considered cool weather. In fact, people here. Wear pants and long sleeves. We currently have 92°. I can always tell a northerner in winter, they are the ones not in winter coats. We only have a few days where it is actually cold, 20s or low 39s.
Happy times spraying , love the bat wing mower , great video
So so proud
Woods mowers cut nice, and they rock!!! Well, . . . at least when you run one. Just kidding, I feel the pain of dented blades too.
Holy crop that Mower is stunning🙌🏽
Your my favourite American farmer your the best and teach the best of farming in America
"We can't have anything nice?" My baby boomer father said that growing up my whole life. Could've gone not hearing that the rest of my life.
For this thing, it is very important to turn the PTO on and off only at low engine speeds. And also be sure to turn off the PTO when turning. I repaired driveshafts and damaged gearboxes break when used improperly.
We invested in wood equipment and they are fabulous pieces of machinery
You will love that mower. We have a 20 footer and it will take care of 5in trees with ease.
Last time I saw legs like that they where hanging out of a nest!
Nestling or dinner to be?
comm1508 dang it this was so funny I choked while eating my tatters and corn.
Those Woods mowers r good solid units 👍! Your gonna be tearing crap with that! Cheers 🍻 from Prairie Sunset Ranch ☀️
I like when he was reading the manual
"We just can't have nice things!" Nice mower. Watch out for rocks and other solid objects! They weren't black tourist socks. Rhiannon is getting a lead foot like her brother--and maybe even her Dad--hmmm? Glad she's getting a chance to run the toys too.
......[Becky's lead foot....🤷😉🤔]👍
Very impressive "Batwing" mower. And that dent in the blade means it's broken in now. Plus Zack,You don't have to worry now about someone else denting the blades. Very Cool birthday present. Happy Birthday,Rhiannon. Drive the wheels off it. They grow up so fast !!!
I enjoyed your videos!
Keep up the good work, and the hard work that you guys do in the fields!
Also a man after my own heart for wearing long socks with shorts keep it up!
weve had a bat wing for about 5 years now and it is still running great
Zach sure can tell you haven't been to the gym in a while. Watching the girls racing around on the yard I love it. " Like Father like daughters " Happy racing weekend Zach !
Was like. "Why is he having a hard time with that rock?" Then I see hes got the shorts with long socks needing a spring loaded PTO shaft holder. Lol. It all makes millennial sense. Haha.
The way you reviewed the bat wing instruction manual cracked me up. I think that’s about the amount of time I would’ve spent with it. The toss at the end was a nice touch.
Awesome !
I like when you say it's so hot its 70 degrees like it was 90 here yesterday with high humidity
Nice to see something positive with all the negative things right now
The Donald thanks you for keeping those tires looking new. Now go mow The White House lawn with that Woods mower.
When we got our Woods Batwing we ordered it for 1000 PTO. It would wear out the wing blades in about two hours. After three sets of blades, we found out that a 540 splitter gearbox was installed by accident so the wing blades were running about twice as fast as they should have been. They fixed it though. Good mower now!
that manual tube was very cool wish everything was like that
Wow.looks like a really nice heavy duty mower. Happy birthday to the young one. What a great little four wheeler for them to enjoy. Glad to see them wearing the helmets.
Keep coming with the great videos. Grew up on 600 acre irrigated farm in Washington State. Owner of Trucking Company in Maine last 35 years and now retired in New York State. Been following you for last two years.
You're not alone we just got half an inch Wednesday and we got another 2/10 today after no rain for 3 weeks
I think you need sandals to go with those long socks and sorts 😂. Love the videos stay healthy and safe from Ponoka Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
2 years of fighting mud in upstate New York this year has been a good dry one and I’ll take it
Happy Birthday to the little Johnson! 🎂 Zach, Bec ,Randy. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HANDS. Just a reminder that we will pull through ALL obstacles together on this nation. We are this nation. Keep up the goodness Nate, Zach, Bec... Millennial Framer or not. 😂 Yes framer, because someone needs to show, along with, rebuild the reputation and ethic of this Industry. 😉 Examples. Ya smell what's cooking. 🇺🇸🐮❤️💪
Ah my eyes! They burn! Those legs are so bright!!!
We have used woods batwing mowers as a stalk chopper for the last 30 years on corn. They work great. only issue is trash buildup on top but cleans off easy.
We had a batwing mower fantastic bits of kit ...
I love the new episode of Off The Husk😀😀
wonder how soon it'll be that Zach and Becky are woken up at 2 am by the sounds of the kids sneaking out and taking the new toy for a spin. Looks like they are having the time of their lives on it. Great present !!!!
Good video as always. I love how that woods mower has that bracket to hold up that pto I remember when younger sometimes be a pain in rear trying hold heavy pto up and trying to get in to tractor pto. Other great things I like is the individual springs on each tire for concave and the magnetic shields our DEERE was older had take out bolts to get to parts so that makes it easy & also Donalds air force 1 tires 😆
I hope you're alright. You got your hands dirty AND had to lift a heavy rock without a break in between. LOL
Thanks for sharing, keep farming!!!
"If it ain't a Woods it ain't a Bat Wing!" Wood mowers are the best! But i might be biased cause i sell them lol.
Field mower not a ditch mowers you hook one unmarked culvert or going over an approach aced hook the culvert you rip there back end right off
We used Woods 20 ftrs in the 80s with JDs and best we found on highways and side roads. Took everything we gave em used 6 ftrs for small work and did fine. Ditch work.bankwork.imclines.heavy weeds.did all we asked and f em and low maintenance. Most work was grinding blades and keep in cutting order
Rswany16 I sell both Woods and Bushog but I think Woods is the best for sure Bushog makes decent stuff too though
I agree to disagree bush hogs are the best
I agree! but i might be bias as well cause im a woods driver an i haul em!!
Well, looking good, got a good stand of Corn, Beans and GoPro's going there.
Those socks mean business! Love, off the husky!
Hey Zach love that new rock picker you were using 😂 . That photograph memory you have with the owners manual was awesome 😂. All jokes aside love the words cutter and great to see the kids having fun thanks again stay safe , and take care of Donald’s Air Force One tires 😂
We have a bat wing topper, it's a beast. Like 15ft cut, it's great, only issue we had, the prop shaft u/j has movement in, after 100hrs. But they are great.
Love the video and you are a great person you always make me laugh! 👍🏻
I’ve never used a Woods mower but they seem pretty nice. I’d buy one. One thing I definitely prefer about them over Bush Hog is that the deck is basically just a big flat piece of steel. Bush Hog’s have all kinda humps and ridges everywhere that collect grass and make it a pain to blow off. That Woods mower probably wouldn’t have much grass on the deck at all. Even after a full day of cutting. Dipsticks instead of level plugs to check oil in gearboxes is nice too.
Thanks for understanding the importance of that clutter-free deck! We were the first to introduce a clean, sloped-top deck back in 1993.
Its gonna be 94 tomorrow here in west Ky. It goes from highs in the upper 50s and wet to hot and dry. Had to replant most of the corn. Normally corn is starting to tosseling in the 3rd-4th week of June here. Lot of corn is just now spiking out of the ground.
Also, @5:18 in the background, your single phase transformer box is sloping. Those boxes have a very toxic oil in them that will kill everything around it. I would keep at least 2-3ft clearance around that box at all times. I used to inventory and open those boxes for awhile. Just my opinion but i have seen what happens when they overgrow. Actually, i have photos still lol. i could send you and show you them.
Enjoy your videos ,you all certainly stay busy .I am also A HUGE VIKINGS FAN who lives in south central Pa .Keep up the vids and ill watch em
We have one of those woods mowers, just a tad bigger. It’s a great mower. The slip clutches in the old one’s were not very good but so far it seems they made an improvement.
Thanks for noticing, Pete! We are always testing and improving our Batwing cutters.
Such a cool dude and a cool dad as well! Whenever in Vegas would love to buy you a beer!
PTO's seem to me to be the thing which needs improvement on tractors. We got electronic engines, gps, electronic machine height adjustment, only the pto is still hard to attach.
Make sure the youngster searches that crp for deer sheds before you mow them over. I bet if that's the only cover around those big fields it might have a few laying in there👍
i like the stile of cargo shorts i wear them even in winter.
“stile”?
Nice Dad socks.
The ending was funny. We all know who's going to be getting the pool ready...
A pool company.
Tired old mechanic my man 😂
Becky and I tackled the project together this week. Kids are happy
5:44 here in the Texas panhandle it’s been mid to high 90s recently I wish it was in the seventies.
I was just fixin to say the same thing, except for it's been that same way here in Mississippi
The kids ripping around in the background was awesome.
Looks amazing
