    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.

    I'm a farmer who lives in the suburbs. Each morning as I travel outward to work, people start to wave. In the city, no one waves. In the rural areas, everybody waves to each other. I'm yet to completely nail down where the waving starts and stops, but it sure feels nice when someone you don't know, or maybe do know, gives you a wave as you pass by.

We Indian farmers don't use such a big tractor, or even equipment. It's like a new technology for Indian farmers. So thank you for sharing the vlog with all the information.
