  • Back to Tillage! The weather has warmed up and the ground has thawed just enough for us to get back to tillage. We're wrapping up combining with just 80 acres remaining. Our final test plot. The FBN corn held its own.

    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.

    man, Your weather may be cold, but Ms. MF makes any day much brighter. A beautiful woman who brings food and pitches in with farm work is a true blessing. Both my parents came from farms. Your videos remind me of the time on my family's farms. That time on farms kept me going, when living near the city got very nasty. God Bless you all..

    Lived in suburbia all my life. You probably hear this quite a bit, but your videos really make me appreciate all the work that goes into farming and the food chain in America that benefits everyone. I've shown some of your videos to my young daughters because I want them to understand how hard farmers work and that the food on the table doesn't get there by magic.
    Thanks for your videos and all you do! 😊

    It is amazing to see what the modern farming work is done on a day to day basis. I'm from West Washington at this time. It's awesome to see and hear you explain the different jobs you do Zachary, as my grandpa would say a farmers job is never done. Your doing a Great job by having your family work along with you. Still would like to see your mother as 7she is also a farm wife and is part of this Farm.

    Thanks for all you do! Im 57, farm raised, living in downtown Rochester, Mn. Stepped into a prominent drug store here in downtown Mayo Clinic one day in search of an Old Farmers Almanac. Knew they stocked them only to hear from the patriarch of the establishment. "Sent them back- wouldnt sell in this store- no farmers round here" Had to laugh. Told the fella Sir, I disagree. Im looking at a farmet right in front of me...How so he replied... You sir are a farmer. Every day you show up to farm the general public for your livelihood. In a way we all are farmers......We had a good chuckle over it!!!

    I as a mechanic have a recommendation on loosening wheel bearing nuts. If you believe that you installed it correctly the first time, then only back it off a 1/8th of a turn. By going a 1/4 you could be actually over loosening that could cause more damage than being over tight.

    Thanks for doing the videos. As a new farmer I love to watch the professionals. I was reading a news article about a small family farm in distress. Having trouble paying bills with the low price of commodities and stuff. I am a city farmer and get what I ask usually. That farm had a go fund me so gave a donation. I guess there are plenty of farms like this. Just wanted to see if you would want to raise some awareness and if there where some good places to send a donation thanks
