    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.

    We’ve been drying all our beans 15%-17% we’ll get a couple of decent days and then it’ll rain and be cloudy we never get enough good days in a row to get them to dry down so I sped the rotor up closed the concave a couple points lower than normal and it pretty much takes 99% of the pods out and it really doesn’t cost that much to dry them 2-4 points

    After I asked about your Dad..poof, there he is! Always good to see Pop in multi generational farms.
    A friend of mine in VA, who has a speed, transmission, and gun shop, has a wife that loves to hunt. Her dad(who recently passed) had a 1000+acre farm. She used to work for the Federal Reserve..she would park her Volvo, take his Ford 4x4, and take a week of vacation...and get her limit. Her venison barbecue was delicious.
    Again, glad to see your Dad!
