    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.

    Replacing those knives on Jim’s machine can’t be cheap. Those are heavy duty steel knives. Wow. Amazing how they have worn down.
    Glad to hear your new building is about here. Will be nice to see it going up.
    Glad you are going to help a farmer in need. Important to do that.
    Best wishes to your dad and his surgery on his wrist. Take care dad. Speedy recovery. My blessings.
    All for now. You take care and be safe.

Been to wet in the fields to do any fall tillage or plant any winter wheat on my ground.

    It's a good soil naturally runs down the hill to the bottom wouldn't it be prudent to pull it up towards the top again instead of letting it wash away?
    You have to dispose of that disc, you might want to consider welding the hole in the center and make a Wok out of it. They hold the heat nice and cook really well.
