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.

DO NOT FALL FOR THE SCAM ACCOUNT THAT LOOKS LIKE ME! NOBODY HAS WON ANYTHING!!!!
I got the same msg on 2 different YT channels.
Dirty damn scammers .
I thought winning a 2018 truck was weird lol
@@Wolfpack278.
Words of the devil ?
Well gosh darn and dag nabbit I didnt know those were Satans words..
Who the fk knew ??
Did you actually fire onyx
Abalutly love the channel, sorry about your scam BS. Love the sarcastic humor gets you through the day. Being originally born in the city, being a farmer is another world to me, fascinating . I think every kid in America should be made to watch this channel, a big awakening and reality check! Agriculture, Work Ethic, and good ole fashion hands on jobbin....I loved the parts when technology doesnt always work for your automated farm equip. Reminds me of when I worked C-17s for USAF (37 yrs) Turn power off and re boot ha...........You keep going what an education thankyou for what you do. I salute every farmer in this great country
Jim needs to mentor Onyx on how to get a tractor properly stuck.
😂😂😂
I've seen worse like that John Deere combine and case quadtrac. What my dad told me if you feel like you are getting stuck don't be afraid to stop and wait for assistance cause you never know when something will happen.
@@MillennialFarmer Floor the accelerator and bury that bastard until that green axle turns black.
@@MultiTurbospeed I had a video of a JD combine getting unstuck saved to a playlist on TH-cam, in the end to get it out of the mud, they had to call a Deere dealership who came out with a 9600 to add to the other 2 9600s which finally pulled the combine out of the mud. Unfortunately the video was marked as private several years ago and I can't call it up any more.
Gen Z plus 1
Good on Onyx to know when to stop and call for help. It’d be easy to not want to disappoint dad and try to get out and end up in a worse situation. Shows maturity from the kiddo.
My thought exactly
I do the same with my kids. "Don't worry about impressing me yet, if you get into trouble with something better to let me know before both of us are in trouble. (I own a snow and ice business and a utv/atv/snowmobile repair shop).
Even I feel proud of him and I have never even met him! God job Onyx!
Onyx is showing to be a quick learn. No doubt he remembers all the flack that Jim took. Might be time to pay that ol' guy back for putting up with all the shenanigans. Then again, maybe not. Good job Onyx!
I really think Onyx has a good head on his shoulders and he’ll go far in life whether it’s in farming or whatever he decides to do also I feel he has a couple of the best role models a kid could have his dad and grandpa are a couple very knowledgeable guys and there demeanor’s are awesome for teaching it seems like they’re pretty even keeled and are willing to help if you need it !! I love this channel and what an awesome family!!
Onyx did right by not spinning down the tractor and just stopped and called such a great job for a young man he’s gonna be a great farmer thanks for sharing buddy glad you guys got done planting praying for everyone a good crop
Onyx is doing great, knows his limitations and is carful not to damage anything, always pays off to be safe! I love see young kids putting the work in the fields!
Came here to say exactly this. Great that he stopped, called dad, and owned up to what’s happened, not that it was his fault at all. Takes a lot of guts to do that. Heck I know a lot of grown men who wouldn’t do that. And would have tried to get out of it themselves and made it a heck of a lot worse.
@@Willdu87 I would probably be one of those grown men my dad would not be quite as easy going as Zach but I should know better lol
Favorite video... Onyx driving the planter(I think) last year, first time.... throws it full throttle....
Couldn't agree more 👏
@@johnhurd6243 yep! it was the combine in a corn field last fall. That's one of my fav MF videos
Looks like Onyx has a good head on his shoulders, when in doubt call for help. In time his confidence will build like his dad
I was gonna call him "Little Jim". Can't call him that though. He stopped way before Jim would have stopped🤣. He did well by stopping when he did and calling for help. If you haven't bogged down, you are not farming😁
Jims problem was it most likely sunk immediately and once that happens you ain't moving anywhere
When I first read the title I figured being as Young and inexperienced as he is he would have gotten it Jim stuck if not worse
That was a good decision to help Onyx. You encouraged him and you helped him out. He did not cause any damage. So, he learned that he would not be in trouble for just getting stuck. It was a WIN-WIN situation. 👍🏻
I can’t help but smile every time I see three generations out there together.
Smart boy. Had doubts so he just waited it out. We need to see that leap into the back of the pickup again. Haha
Well done Onyx. Safety and protecting your equipment first. Never be too proud to ask for help. Well done young man.
His first stuck!!! How cool is that. Probably put a smile on Jim's face no doubt ☺️
Kudos to Onyx, he recognized his limited experience level and called for help. Down the road, once he has Jim’s level of experience he can work to get it stuck deeper
Good morning.
Your son showed tremendous common sense. By not being sure about what to do with such expensive equipment he made a phone call. Plus he learned a little something for the next time it happens.
I bet that was a proud moment for you.
Ed from Chicago 🙂
Just wait until Zach has to call Onyx for a tow!
You jumping up in the back of that dually was impressive! Be thankful you can still do that
Zach, was really Impressed with the high jump into the back of the truck to retrieve the Yankum Rope 👍
Onyx good on you for stopping and asking for help. Those are the sort of people I would hire. People who learn and ask for help when needed.👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Very mature of Onyx to stop before possibly digging himself in even deeper or making it worse. You got yourself a very responsible farm hand there. Good job Onyx!
That boy has a decent head on his shoulders. Knew when to call for help and not push his luck. He'll go far! Zach you must be a very proud dad..
Onyx is getting big and taller. He also knows his limitations, which shows good common sense. Good job Onyx, it is always better to be safe. You ARE the future of Millennial Farmer.
Very proud of Onyx by calling for assistance instead of getting it really stuck or broke something. Onyx I give you a 👍 for your choice.
L
At least he knew to stop and call for help. Super smart on his part. Probably feels bad, but that’s learning. No biggie.
Well done Onyx, very sensible choice not to back up if you are not confident about it, reversing a roll that size would be no easy task in the mud. Brilliant video as always and it's just great to see a family working so well together.
Get a cheap 8 row planter for the boy let him plant the small field with the Moline for his first ground. Would be a great place for him to get started 👍
Zack , onyx is still a kid learning his limits. The fact he called you and told you he was stuck is a great milestone for him. . He is doing a fantastic job for both you and his gramps in a dirty job
It's cool to see Onyx's role on the farm grow as he gets older. There's nothing better than growing up on the farm and getting to do new things. He did a good job of just stopping and waiting for help.
I laughed so hard at the end of your last video when you were talking about backing the planter in the shed😂 at least you can find a little bit of humor in a very lousy situation
The best education is learning from our mistakes we've all made them some bigger than others hell go on to lean from the experience I can remember my frist days in the field on my own let's just be thankful that a youngin has the desire to be out there learning not many want to now days
It's very admirable of the young man to be careful not to tear up the equipment and ask Dad and Grandpa for help! Great learning experience for him! And poor Jim! @11:05 - "I've seen Jim do a lot worse." LOLOLOL!
I feel like Jim needs to teach Onyx the right way to get stuck! 😂😂
It is incredible how mature Onyx is when dealing with expensive farm equipment, better safe than sorry!
He really is like his dad, and already is a farmhand they can not do without. Very well done Onyx, you should be proud of yourself!!! (I'll bet you ten bucks that your mom, dad and grandfather are!)
Only a very small amount of people are able to admit not having the experience, and only a fraction of those will actually do so! This kid is already far more reliable than most machine operators.
Great job Onex knowing the limits of your knowledge and asking for help. Better to be safe rather break something. You're going to be a heck of a farmer in few years. You have three great teachers just learn everything you can from each of them.
Great to see Onyx knows well enough to ask when he’s not sure. He’s one bright young man!
What a life Onyx has. I remember as a 10 year old driving a Renault 106-54 tractor and it felt huge and so intimidating. Can't even imaging how it must feel to drive that 8R at young age.
Oh Onyx you lil beauty! Mind and heart is in the right place. I'm loving it! Zach must be feeling all kinds of proud I mean even just watching Onyx drive off with that tractor. Following him must be great feeling for Zach. We want to see more Onyx on tractors. Thanks
Onyx did the right thing. I remember a few times when I was about his age and tried to get tractors unstuck...didn't always work for me. Good decision by him. 👍
Fascintaing how the mud peels right out of the treads when Grandpas backed it up.
2 1/2 acres sounds like a good garden spot!
For the deer. :)
No worries Zach I’m always confused 😂😂😂 I like seeing your son out their working away👍👍
That looks like what Jim did to the 8260RT a few years back. Kinda funny Onyx did the same thing. Great videos. Keep up the great work 👍 💯
Great video! I like hearing the sounds of the outdoors when your planting.
A learning experience for your son. Hopefully both your father and yourself taught him how to get out the next time. Because it looked like the wheels where slipping when it was backing up.
Onyx is heart broken. Getting fired from his first job. Good thing he's going to get rehired come harvest time, and spring planting, and well you know.
Guess he will have to mooch off dad now!
That was one impressive jump from the floor to the tailgate of the dually!
It a special time in life for a dad when son's take over there job's.!!! That's a good boy you got there he like my boy not afraid to drive anything
Y’all have to be proud of Onyx. I’m just a subscriber and I’m proud of him. He’s going to run laps around y’all in a few more years and I bet that’s something that y’all are looking forward to.
Awesome job Onyx. Thank you for helping your dad and grandpaw. Great video. Thank you guys
Wise decision not risking wrencking anything. Good job Onyx. Soon you will be able to do the job yourself, without calling dad and/or granddad. :)
How cool to have Onyx driving tractors now. Not only that he's smart enough to stop and ask when he's not sure.
Awesome job Onyx. Your going to be a good farmer if you do choose. You have a good family glad you folks are doing good through all the hardships.
That onyx is a great kid. Very thoughtful. So smart to call dad when he feels something is sketchy, better to be safe than sorry. He’s learned that lesson really early for a young man. You all must be very proud of all of your kids. Best wishes be well.
It’s nice to see that you can trust your son with the expensive equipment. It’s also nice to see that there are some younger people coming up with common sense. Grandpa and dad did an awesome job showing him how to handle a situation like that.
It does my heart good to watch Onyx, most kids today can't start a lawnmower. I bet he makes you proud
you are blessed to have Onyx
When I was a bit older than Onyx I got the tractor stuck leaving a field. I forgot to unhitch the 50 foot or so of harrows. I backed up and bent the main pole beam like a rainbow. Sunk the tractor to the oil pan.y dad was so angry that I ruined his Harrods. A few weeks later I figured it out. If the tractor fan bend the pole, it can straighten the pole. I put a little tractor 44M right on the pole. Then I hooked onto the far end with the Gen Ii tractor and stretched that pole back out. I was only a kid and dad was off selling for John Deere. He was thrilled I figured it out. Those Harrods always worked great and I learned my lesson about unhitching.
Zach that was some good ups to get in the truck. At least Onxy stopped before damaging anything. He's doing a great job helping out
Love seeing parents getting their kids involved in agriculture
Yes I agree, there are a lot of pieces that you have to have it at the same time
Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Congratulations on finishing your planting for 2022. Was most certainly a test of patience between the weather and the planter not wanting to work. But you kept at it and done.
Onyx did the right thing by calling for help and not trying to backup and bending something. You and your dad were really good with him about the situation, thanks for doing that.
Onyx, you did the right thing all the way around.
Good going onyx.
Brings back memories. Can remember when I got the tractor and row cultivator stuck. Walked him and afraid to tell dad. Talking about the cultivator they bolted on the tractor way back when-ha.
Now time to hit spraying. Between you and your dad should be able to keep it rolling. Busy time on the farm.
Seems strange not having your cold storage building in the picture. Hope they can rebuild for you relatively soon. Also hoping your bin storage is not too much out of service for the coming crop year.
About it for now I guess. You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Zach. Becky thanks for editing.
Onyx you did good with the tractor and roller.
The Iowa farm boy.

I still remember a lesson from over 50 years ago. I got our loader tractor stuck. 2wd and front wheel in a small hole and rear wheel on a slippery tree root. I tried for a while and gave up. Walked a long way back to the shed to get help. Dad grabbed the other tractor and a chain and we headed out to pull me out. He jumped on the stuck loader tractor, dropped the loader on the deck and with the right technique he backed it out. Just last summer I was driving the grain truck and got it stuck. I was empty and tandem drives don't lock up and I spun out. I put the hoist right up to transfer some weight from the front axle and I managed to rock it out. A nice teaching moment for Onyx!
Keep up the great work!
Good work young man!! You definitely know what's wrong when you see it! You're going to live a legacy for sure
There is always a lesson to learn. He will get there one day, and than he will make jokes about your performance, wanna bet? :)
Love the content, keep it up
I thought Zack hopping onto the tailgate like that was pretty impressive!
You realize that is fake don't you?
You have a fine young man there. Be proud Mom and Dad
Love the rearranged shed 😁
It's got a lot of room.
@@oldad6207 it’s really clean too
Smart Kid!! When in doubt , give the oldman a shout!!!
the tractor was more excited about being done than Zach was !!! @3:52
That majestic gazelle leap into the bed of that truck was fantastic. I'd have lost some teeth trying that one. I don't have Instagram and don't know a better place to comment but I for one really appreciate Becky being on off the husk. I'm not a farmer myself and she asks ALL the right questions for someone like me to really learn a lot about what y'all are doing.
Awesome parenting Zach and Becky. Those kids are going to be so happy that they have you two as parents. Zach, your parents did a great job also… Becky as I am sure that yours probably did as well. Happy that corn is planted…

he is exercising good judgement, good for him
Onyx has really been paying attention and didn't keep spinning until it was down to the axels. I know many grown men that haven't learned that lesson.
Everybody learns from mistakes, Onyx did a great job to call for help, very matured response. Love from Slovakia
Onyx is doing just fine ! He's growing up fast and now and can take on more responsibility. Sometimes the nerves get the best of us when we could actually try to get unstuck . Glad you guys finished planting Great video keep up the good work !
Props to Onyx! Stopping when unsure is the best way to go. Learning what to properly do is always key
Gotta love spring farming 😁
Nice sky light in that new shed
Young Farmer in the Making !! Great Video !! H.
Keep up the great work Onyx. Your learning.
He did not bury it so he did better than most. He did a good job with the situation. I still remember my first time getting stuck.
he did the right thing. if not sure about something just stop and call someone. good job onyx
Onyx done good; He stopped before it got worse, and didn't risk the machinery with a backing manoeuvre that he's not familiar with. This all comes with experience; way he's going you're gonna be out of a job Zach! Oh.....he'll want a cameraman of course, I forgot !!
Good lad. Good video. Thanks!
Its a great thing for a boy to be able to call his dad and grand dad for help. god bless
Pretty good kid ya got there , I’m sure you know that already. Hope everything cooperates and you get everything sprayed quickly and enough rain when ya need it, but not to much.
Very responsible decision, Onyx! Well done!👏👏👏
Great video Zach
I love your outtakes there Zach
Onyx is doing a fine job great video Zach glad y’all got the planting done
That was an awesome reverse edit of Zach jumping out/in to the truck...well done😎
Love watching your videos and listening to off the husk. We just had a disaster ourselves. One of our grain trucks burnt up last week and thankfully no one was hurt and we didn’t loose the crop that was in it.
Know what caused the truck fire yet?
@@BWYinYang either a diesel or oil line was spraying on the manifold or wiring it was a late 70s early 80s Mack
Hey millennial farmer keep up the awesome videos 👍
I love how the editor kept the clip of you jumping into the bed of the truck but not the clip of you slowly making your way out of the truck so you don’t hurt your knees 😂😂
I like how happy R2D2 is at 3:53 cheering together with you 😂
I think Onyx showed a lot of wisdom, shutting it down before he got in too deep. That would make me proud.
There he sits so broken hearted 🤣🤣🤣 that’s the greatest nursery rhyme ever 🤣
Sounds like Jim sets the bar around there 😂
You taught Onyx well,he had enough sense to not do something that might make things worse. Way to go Dad
I love farming and your videos are what hyped me up about farming
I enjoyed the frog jump into the dually! 👌🏻
He'll be pulling the planter in a few years. Thanks for the video.
