    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.

And it rained so far today .20 with more in the forecast. Hope your area received some it it too. Crops here were showing signs of lack of moisture to full recovery. The farms here grow mostly row crops and now are full and green.

  • @ronaldwinder5051

    Down here in Southwest Missouri, we've had to go to Liberty link soybeans because Roundup won't touch even 3 inch tall water hemp any more. Even with Liberty, if the water hemp gets over 3 inches tall, it survives. It may get burned a little but it won't kill it. The farmer I help also uses some form of pre-emerge mixed with Roundup for grass that works pretty well. Down here, our corn needs to be pollinating by the 4th of July because we normally get our last good rain around the 4th. We try to plant it around the last week of March to the first week of April.

    Zack i see you have a Razr for your kids. just a word of advice. My cousin had one for his grandkids and if they rode into tall grass the air intake for the engine cooling fan would suck grass into the cooling fan and plug up and tear things up after several times of repair he traded it back to the dealer. if you look where the cooling intake is you will notice the chain is chewing up tall grass to get into the cooling intake. hope your kids have better luck!!

To anyone interested in getting fit, forget the gyms, become a farmer, think about it this way, you're working by the time they get up, you're working by the time they're having their breakfast, you're working while they're in their car / commuting, you're working while they're done for the day and then some more.

    My only weed prevention is rye mat. You get 2 layers because it breaks down slow, then starts to contribute usable soil nutrients.
