    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.

    The excavator operator needs to dig on all sides of the tree to break up the root structure about 2' deep, then push it over. Digging makes it a LOT easier and it also removes the stump!

    A very interesting channel. A chainsaw secret, always have 2 chainsaws when cutting, if 1 gets stuck use the other one to get it out. No 2 cuts at once on a large tree especially a softwood. I can admit to learning this the hard way, just like in your video...

    In Saskatchewan we call it a seeder not a “planter”.

      MrDonnyt that’s because they are different types, a seeder is different than a planter
