- We're scrambling to get as much of anything in the ground as we can before the rain. We've got 1321 acres of corn in the ground and we/re making the switch to beans for now.

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.

Dear PETA - I'm excited to say that the skunk has made a full recovery!!
MN Millennial Farmer What is your dream tractor
😂😂😂😂
When is your fs19 map that you said would come out
S Axtman He said in his livestream that hopefully mid summer
Ok I did not watch the while live stream
Zach is the Bob Ross of farming he has a lot of happy accidents 👍🤣🤣
Lol!!!
I remember my dad years ago driving tractor in the fields alnight he’d be so tired but he loved tractors anything that moved I. Think miss him been gone 4 years now he did a lot of farming wen he was young in the east coast of Canada they worked for nought in just to put a roof over are heads and a full belly great videos
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!! LOL!! Hope the rain holds off for ya'!!
Sigh...Zach,always,always,always keep some emergency gas on the service truck,at least enough to completely fill up the seed tender a couple times anyway.
I always learn something new and appreciate the headaches you go through to teach us.
It's always best to plant your seed deep and moist
Oh yeah
Yep, that's what the wife always says
Now ya know to always unload the back hopper first. And carry a gas can with.
Time has a way of fogging a brain on thing like that.. lol
Zach, love that you tell it like it is!! The details of planting are very interesting and I'm glad you do it. Thanks for taking us along. - Dean from Edina
It is very refreshing to see a person of your young age take farming so damn seriously....Keep up the good work!
I’m a farmer out of Northeast Indiana. I have been watching your videos since the fall of 2016. This planting Season of 2019 has been our worst planting season yet. We haven’t hardly been in the field yet to plant. But we have been in the failed with our field diggers. We run 6,590 Acres of land and it’s the 22nd of May and we hardly have anything planted. It’s nice to see someone out planting.
Sorry for your problems but thanks for planting!!
Your welcome Zach. Yea it’s lightly raining this morning. And Thursday and Friday it’s going to be sunny and rain Saturday and Sunday. And after Sunday they are calling for sun for the next week and a half. We hope as soon as it’s dry we can go plant full force.
You spilled corn and cleaned it up... good man my cousin has a tendency to leave his spills for my dad and I.
I think the bottom was open Idk
@@jimlovesfarming6332 he probably didn't get the gate shut all the way. Happens to the best of us but remember clean up your own, just like hay baling stacker picks up it bales fall off
Don't worry I don't like power poles either. I caught one with a disc when I was in middle school. Now we are mortal enemies.
I ripped a door off on a tractor 🚜 with a pole so I’m with you on mortal enemies with poles...
Just as I was about to cut the grass..... well that will have to wait 11-12 minutes !! 👍😂
Dad: "For Pete's sake Zack we've gots no gas!"
Zack: "💩💩💩🤬🤬🤬!"
somehow, i do not think it was as polite as that.... but for the sake of all the younger viewers. That will do LOL. Zach: "we didnt film any of that because, we are a little bit cranky". Summed it all up nicely really.....
Hey it will be alright! Just use that bucket for what it was meant for and be HAPPY!
"The thing's I do for you guys" We love you for it!
nice to see you planting .were from Indiana an its rains an rains an rains.got o done.
Zack, good thing you understood how unhooking the seed tender would turn out. glad we still got you for another video.
Switching to beans in Ontario as well, but the switch is from mud to soybeans. And that is still being optimistic. Good growing everybody.
Ha! Can’t even get a sprayer in the fields in haldimand right now.
@@joshjansen8429 70-80 % wheat and 90% alfalfa is winterkilled, and whats left, maybe half has gotten fert. Not going at all in Victoria county, good luck 9330
@Make Bailouts Great Again WE get ZERO $ in Ontario, same with most of Canada. Except Quebec, their provencial Govn't gives them something. We do have crop insurance, about 2/3 of farmers enroll in Ontario.
That's a good size rock you're growing in the feild...🙃
yeah, another year it would have been a leaverright!
I know the hydraulic hose and camera was a gag but we've watched Andy The Harmless Farmer do it with his feet!!! Just funninn both of you are very entertaining! Thanks for for the video!
Absolutely the best show in TV. High five
Just climbed out of the tractor from planting corn finally able to watch this video be safe
Good your getting something done. We got 150 ac of corn mudded in. About got stuck. I love the max emerge 5 units, only one thing to switch, the plates.
You knew running out of gas would be your fault in the end!!
Sitting here at 1:00 AM after a long shift at work, having a beer for my nightcap and enjoying your video. I don’t usually drink, but another whitetail decided to hit me, so my tally is now up to 13. I hit 7 deer with the same s10 I drove till I graduated college... and that thing never went to the body shop.
Great video Zach you guys are making good progress dont worry it isnt only you that has days like that have a great day be safe.
I farm with my dad too. I know how those situations go. We’re finally getting our small acreage of corn in the ground here in Virginia.
Good luck with planting be safe
It took a little bit for Zach to censor all of the words I am guessing his dad may have said to describe his "forgetfullness." 11:09 haha
When things go wrong they compound quickly.. great video thanks 🚜🚜💚💚
Haha Zach great video! You guys are out straight huh? I admire your good nature even When huge pain in the ass things happen. Thanks for the video
That rock picker was the shizzle man. Pretty cool!
Zach I grew up on a 1300 acre farm. Trying to support three families obviously it couldn't do it so i had to go find a job in town. I was always taught early is about 6 . I have a lot of friends who still farm but early to them is 8 or 9 even in the busy time of spring or fall.
Never have planted a mass amount of beans before. This will interesting 👍🖒
Haven't planted a thing 5-21 in Indiana and it will be a few days of dry before we can try. Calling for more rain.
Maintain your ditches and drains and they will look after you!
I’m a retired farmer from Texas. I never liked working with lights it’s just not the same as good ole sunshine😎
I think you should film the crankiness. It makes you more real. I do it people hate me for it but it is the way it is love your videos man
I don't disagree. That's what I like about you. In this situation I wouldn't have cared about my viewers seeing us crabby, I just didn't want the camera getting thrown across the field!!
@@MillennialFarmer Actually just busted laughing at the image -- the very quickly rotating image -- of the camera being thrown. I don't know what cameras you typically use to for carrying, but there are plenty of videos demonstrating a GoPros ability to freefall for a mile and be just fine.
See Wes' video titled "The No Rower 240" it's epic.
@@MillennialFarmer I was thinking maybe you didn't wanna make ur wife bleep out soo many words in the editing in order to keep RUclips happy as OLF's found out for us over the years. not to mention when you use bad words on camera you can't tell your wife you don't cuss when she's not around
We do corn and cotton on our farm. this year we’re doing beans!
I love the new Intro and I've listened to the first 3 episodes of field work and i love it so far
We have about 450 Acer's planted and have to plant 1800
Thank you for working long hours to put food on the world's tables
Working land and watching some MFer. Perfect day!
Hello from Sweden and I love your podcast! It’s very informative and interesting. Keep up the good work
Zach that was a great video. Especially about the gas. Haha
Great video!
Nice clean out bucket @5:13 🤣🤣🤣
Oh mercy hahaha! This sounds like something I would do in your position! Better luck next time!
Get those beans in there nice and deep like...
It sure took a while for the top layer to warm up enough and dry out to plant corn. I've been dealing with the same thing. Waiting for the soil to get to 60f and dry out enough to plant. My luck some weird streak of weather will come by and freeze the ground or drop it below 50 where corn doesn't like it. Lol
I’m not a farmer per say but I love yalls podcast! Great video!!
Zach, hope y'all are holding off on the beans with your cold wet weather!
Hoping for better Soybean prices for all of you. Keep up the great job. You feed the nation. 👍
I have been reminded of my "forgetfulness" in the past by my Father. However on the flip side if I got down on myself for a mistake, he would say, "Show me a man who never made a mistake, and I will show you man who never tried to accomplish anything" It evens out, But I think that skunk is sunk!
Like they say Zach. "Sh@t Happens" keep plugging away. Sounds like you got quite a bit done in a short time good for you. Going to have to call my brother in Johnson, Mn. and see how far he is right now. Keep the vids coming.
Zack, could you spray something like tire wet on the gauge wheels to keep mud from building up? Thats what i spray on the inner fenders of my Ranger to keep the mud off.
Time for a diesel conversion on the seed tender.
I’ve ran out of fuel a few times and now have 1 gal jugs with every little engine. And when both are out I take a deep breath, look around and say “I love farming.” Lol
Just a little bit cranky? Us old guys need our rest Lololol.
Jim had a nice tshirt on there
I miss the little challenger.. love your videos!
I think if I only had 4 hours to sleep I would have slept in my truck ! Lol. Pizza places deliver there don’t they ? Lol . This year weather wise has been weird, I believe we are 1 month behind our normal weather here in Minnesota! I planted my radish’s and my onions but tomatoes, egg plant, cukes , melons and sweet corn aren’t in the ground yet ! It’s still cold at night which is weird ! Good luck 👍 SKOL BUD !
Hey Zach what are the big roller thingies that look like a steam roller but long and on a frame? I saw one today with ribs in it also. I have seen a lot of tractors around here going down the road with them and I have not seen them in your videos, is it something that you just don't use? I even saw one of them mysterious red things pulling one!
Tucker Anderson
Field rollers usually for beans when the land isn’t flat enough, also pushes rocks down so nothing gets caught in the header at harvest time
@@Sicktrickintuner oh ok that explains it. thanks!
so your dad is the same as mine. Priceless
Anyway dude seriously though this is jeff from Rochester just wanted to say awesome videos one Minnesotan to a Nother keep up the great work buddy you are a fellow Minnesotan
There are those days...
Love your videos would love to visit your farm it looks awesome
1:16 pointing game is... on point
Two things:
First, what exactly are those two side, booms I guess they would be called, on each end of the planter for. I noticed you usually have them folded up.
Second: Don’t harvest all your rocks. Make sure you leave enough seed rock in the field for next years crop.
I really want that challenger hoody
Like ur channel very much.
Mr. Zach, laughed at "we didnt film that"........ have to say i have been there before, " why dont i have gas?" " the tank is empty" " who's fault is that???" "YOURS!!!" ohhhh....... Glad to see central minnesota is drying out and youre getting crops in. Good to see you have that big green spaceship, i mean tractor/planter fine tuned, If the weather holds should be done early next week??
Hey Zach does it seem to you that rock seem to grow each year?
too much fertalizer
Nother day in Paradise
Back when I started farming I would take off the line to the carburetor and get some gas to finish.
Rock Picker IS the COOLEST!!
"We're a little bit cranky"!! BUT DAD!!!!!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't get him to laugh huh?
you are lucky that when you have to change farms you 200km (124 miles) to get to the next farm. hi from Australia.
The job I do is hard but not as hard as what zak dose but watching this makes the time fly by love the vids keep the good work
We're cranky. Lol. Hard start. Love them. That's sarcasm. Get it it's a joke son. Foghorn Leghorn. You youngsters look it up. Good evening. Be safe.
Zack, for a non-farmer, could you do some drone footage that gives examples of 25 acres, 50 acres, a hundred acres, etc? I am a homeowner with a 1/2 acre of property, and it seems like you could cover my land in seconds with your planter. Yet you seem to be working for hours covering 25 acres.
Thanks,
Brad in New Jersey.
1,200 acres of corn... Thats all of our ground combined dude! you've been hustling!!
Listening to your own podcast... Well at least you're humble
Hey I saw that you race in one of your last videos you should really look into tractor pulling per say with National Tractor Pullers Association there’s a really nice on in Hutchinson Minnesota around the middle of June
love your show!!
Love the dale jr download!
You are a busy man! I say for your own sanity, try a chest harness mount for the camera?I Feel bad watching you over and over again, having to one hand everything just for us! Love the vids
I was just thinking that! But he wouldnt want to look to dorky for all the corn! lmao
Hey Zach - In the future; you should switch from pizza ( your favorite) to burritos to avoid running out of GAS. Just Sayin!
Captain Al from Tampa 😎
When you have the time Zach can you clean the spool valves on the 6410, being out of fuel at some point is always a part of farming.
If everything going to plan it will probably getting boring 😌, now you have something to film more and we have something more to watch 👌🏻
harmless farmer can give you a few tips on hooking up those hoses
You can not post a new video so earley in the day. Are still planting potatos here and cant wach and drive 🙈
the sound when you press the clutch peddal on the 6410 is just like on our 6400 thats having the trans replaced
Farming in the USA is dealing with empty fuel tanks and dead batteries. Greetings from Germany!
@@thomasbee5218 love them commies don'tcha
@@jeremylalonde1173 lol....what does that even mean....or did you just feel the need to type some random letters.....
What are the extra arms on the planter used for? Great channel!! Not a farmer and loving it!
Look into a product called furrow brow for stick dirt gauge wheels
Not sure if there's any hydro vac guys in your area. But if that drain is plugged, they'll be the best solution.
When you switch to a deeper depth on your beans, do you have any concerns about emergence?
I'll have to go listen to your podcast on cover crops now, I know your feelings about them for your area, be interesting to hear what think.
Don't you mean "someone" forgot to call the fuel and oil guy? :) Great video as always Zach!
