That moment you look your son in the eyes and put your faith in him as a young man, then you get out the seat with your gut in faith and walk away with thoughts rushing though your head and then see them move off the spot then see them running it well. It just makes you wanna tear up being a proud father of your son becoming a young responsible man.
Oh Wow! Sorry I just don't have enough thumbs to cover this young man's coming out! Very impressive Onyx! Ya done yer Dad n family proud. Congratulations! 🏁🇺🇸🏁 🤔 💯%....
This video is incredible. Truly. I've watched the videos for years. This one is the absolute best. Nothing special, no gimmicks. A father teaching the next generation with immense patience and pride. This video, in my opinion, is something that should be viewed by everyone and be stowed away so that it is saved. This video, albeit short relative to a lifetime of teaching, shows how your food is made and how the traditions and knowledge is passed on. This is one of the most incredible videos I've ever watched. Thank you Johnson family for all that you do.
Let's just appreciate what a great childhood those kids have, running around on pit bikes, atv's, surrounded by massive tractors in nature, always outside. And then they have this wonderful, loving family who likes to teach them things. I'm kinda jealous :)
Jealous, yes. Having spent twice 4 weeks on a farm with 15&16 as a young man it could have been my dreamjob. But finding a farmer‘s daughter was not an option, marring a farmer‘s son was in the 1980ties not an option either.
Not gonna lie I cried during this video because it brought back so many memories of my grandfather teaching me to drive a tractor at 7 years old in the fields. I dumped my first load of hay at 9 off of a flatbed truck he had mounted blocks to the gas and break pedals so I could reach them. Thank you for bringing those memories flooding back to me today! So many life lessons for me at that age farming a small farm in Georgia … I just recently bought that land back from the bank during a foreclosure! This might be your greatest video ever! Thank you
My grandfather was teaching me how to drive a tractor too at 7 years.❤️😊 Cuz he have farm with cows. But now he's left side is paralyzed and there is nothing we can do...😢😞
Wow, same memory but the 1960s. I loved doing this with my Dad! I am also wiping away the tears as it brings back such beautiful memories! Except we didn’t have a cab and the combine was a smaller one.
It brought a tear to my eye as Zach walked away as onyx took over by himself. I know exactly the thoughts that went through Zach’s mind. And then I laughed out loud when onyx was like come on dad let’s dump on the run and get it done! I loved every second of this video. And the new grain cart driver will be kicking ol dad out soon enough.
I remember that scaredy look and lots of concentration in the last bit as well. Very familiar, that time where you have to do it alone and you don't wanna ask too much.
This reminds me when my dad put me on a tractor at 7 yrs old on the farm back in Kansas in 1951. He was on a tractor on one side of the field and i on another tractor on the other side of the field. Some great experiences I can look back on. I’ll be 80 next year, great memories. Im proud of you the experiences your giving your kids! God bless you!
Zach, your entire family and farm operation is impressive. The way your dad, you, and Jim interact always brings a smile to my face. My late father and I were police officers together for several years in the early 1980's and I have great memories of our time together. I'm sure you are a proud Papa of your family and your farming heritage.
I think I had the biggest smile on my face watching Onyx run that combine all by himself. Can't wait to see the two kids operating in the fields Great job Zach and Becky!!!!!!!!! You ought to be proud!!!!!
Great Job dad. My pops had me on his farmhall in the garden at 8 years old. I needed blocks wired on the gas predal of our riding lawnmower cause I was too small. Great memories!!!!
I was a troubled teen into drugs, street racing, and burglary. My parents sent me to help one of my dad's friends on his 600 acre cattle, pork, and grain farm in Alabama. I spent a growing season there. It turned me around pronto. I learned what it was to be a good person, what a work ethic was, and how rewarding struggle and hard work can actually be. Onyx is a respectable young man off to a great start.
Hey Rockroll7649, I’m proud of you! I work at a rehab in NY and know how hard that can be. I have a past myself and I always tell everyone, get in nature and start forming a relationship with hard work bc it makes you feel so good.
Oh my goodness, I am not sure who had the bigger smile. Onyx or Dad, I can only imagine how proud both of you are. Way to go Onyx and Rhiannon will be doing the grain cart duties. For all of the haters out there, this is not child abuse or endangerment, this is passing the torch to the next generation of our farmers who keep us fed. My hat is off to all of you. Zach your patience teaching is remarkable. Excellent video
Well said Bobby! In order for family farms to keep running, the younger members step up and learn what needs to be done! Onyx and Rhiannon are stepping up and learning how to run the farm equipment! Well done Onyx and Rhiannon!
I agree this is a good age to teach them looks like these kids love working on the farm. I always liked unloading the grain truck when my dad and grandpa were farming together we didn't have a sophisticated machine like what these kids are driving.
I don’t typically comment on videos. Awesome job harvesting young man. You don’t seem like you will be scared of anything. More of this right here is what we need in this country.
My father died when I was 4 so I pretty much had to rely on my neighbors to teach me everything Zach is teaching Onyx. I have since passed those things along to my son when he was very young and who is 33 and has a family of his own. Something that did come to mind was the family across the road from us who basically treated me like one of their own. They were like parents to me. The wife was buried last week and the husband about a year ago. Watching this reminds me of the neighbor that taught me to me teaching my son.
When you can just tell that this young man will grow into an honest, responsible and trustworthy adult. Of course, his parents deserve credit for raising him right, and leading him down the right paths! Good job, everyone!
I am very impressed with Onyx and his drive to learn the machinery. I see tons of comments about Zach being the nervous and proud dad and that is all true. But I can only imagine just how beaming proud Grandpa is to see his grandson in the combine. And then to see his granddaughter in the grain cart much have been a huge teary-eyed moment for him. Awesome video for sure.
Im not a farmer, nor am I a father. But after watching for so long i must say. I am proud to support you and your family, watching the kids grow and learn is very revarding and brings joy knowing what great parents they have.
I will simply add my name to the list of those so very impressed with this video. Zach for the patience and wisdom to so patiently teach. Onyx for the confidence and courage to be a great student (and operator). So many buttons!! What a great way to end my day. The world/country is in such a mess, and this little piece of the world is filled with hope and pride! God bless you all. You all deserve a big hug! This made my day! Way to go Onyx!!
I love how you teach you kids and how they love to help. The look on my sons face when I asked him if he wanted to drive the tractor baler and wagon was priceless and he did an amazing job following the rows and took it so seriously. Way to go dad!!
This video Is why we love watching the Millennial Farmer! As the fabric of this country gets torn apart we are reminded of what is really important in life. From an old farmer to the next generation - Well Done.
How cool to teach your son a family tradition, farming. Lost my son 7 yrs ago and know firsthand how precious this time with your son is. Thank you so much for sharing your life and knowledge with us. J.Au-en
it makes me so happy to see that you are teaching your kids so much stuff and that you let them learn a lot, during their childhood and not just "park" Infront of a PC ore TV, so big pad on your shoulder for that Zack, you are a great dad
My Father drove an Eight Horse Hitch in the Field at that age. I drove Tractors at that age with rock pickers, seeders, cultivators and harrows . the Harness on the Horses my Father drove weighed out more than the young fellow in the video. My Dad had to take the harness apart to take it off. Awesome Job Young Man.
That is bye far the best video that I have seen in my life on the Internet. Have followed your videos from the very early on . What a lovely family you are. I love your dad he is the image of my grandfather,only difference is he had 28 acres of land in Ireland. God bless you all and stay safe.
Seeing you interact with your son and teaching him brought a little tear to my eye. I cant wait to see you and your daughter operate the grain cart and witness the beginning of the next generation of your farm. God bless y’all.
Oh my goodness this video made my heart full. We were reared on a dairy farm and by the time we were 11 and 12 we each had mastered milking cows, plowing , bailing hay, raising baby calves, cooking, and caring for the vegetable garden. We worked like adults and it set us all up to be productive adults. These instructions will sever your child more than anything you could do for them. Good jobs Mom and Dad!
OMG!!!!!!! so happy that the weather is so good to allow you to teach these youngsters how to run this equipment, I almost wept when you said that you where going to teach your oldest daughter to run the grain cart, didnt think that shed be into that so awsome!!!!!!
You are an amazing father who teaches your children how to do hard work. Keep it up...not many great dads and great children to follow in your footsteps. God bless you for keeping us with food and a hope for many successful crops!
Zach, this is one of your coolest videos ever, just seeing you teach Onyx how to run the combine! i have never driven a combine, but I learned a lot from my dad about other stuff. I bet your dad is a pretty proud grandpa too! Getting the next generation ready.
The smile on Onyx his face, combined with the teaching by his father. I can almost see the previous pre RUclips generation. Zak was no doubt as curious and interested as onyx is now
What a Blessing it is to have encouraging parents. My parents have been gone for years. They always encouraged me, but never criticised me. You and Becky are doing a swell job as parents. Your patience may very well be the deciding factor whereby Onyx and his sisters pursue farming once they get a little older.
This is quite possibly one of the most American channels on RUclips. I love the content here! Your wife does a great job editing! And the dogs and kids are so cute! You are very blessed 🙏
This video shows what is right in this world. I still remember my own dad and grandpa teaching me. So good to see the next generation learning and being eager to do so. I know Zach was proud and I can just imagine Zach’s dad beaming in the grain cart too. Great job Onyx!
this is the way to teach the kids! showing them that you trust them and you have confidence in them! not yelling or screaming at them when they do something wrong! hats off to you sir!
Your relationship with your dad and your son are really special. It is a pleasure to watch, and as a father makes me a little jealous. Living on a farm has some amazing benefits. Thanks again from Seattle.
I just remember myself with my dad doing the same thing. Amazing. Cant wait to do something together with my son. He is 20 month old now so it would be soon but cant wait.
Oh, My Word! I feel so proud of those two. What an amazing experience for them. It is a moment that they will never ever forget. Your whole family is a force to be reckoned with. You must be incredibly proud, Zach.
I spent several summers as a teenager in the 1960’s working for an uncle who raised dry land winter wheat in eastern Montana. During harvest, I drove truck, hauling grain either to the elevator in town or to bins at the farm. Keeping up with the combine especially when yields were high was always a challenge but I loved every minute of it. While I went away to college and ultimately worked in the city, the lessons I learned during those summers have served me well,..never got to run the combine though. Great videos! They bring back good memories.
Love the video. Bring back memories of farming with my grandfather. I was 8 when I started driving a tractor. 12 when I first drove a combine...Now, when you get both of the kids taught how to run the equipment. You can just drive around and yell at everyone! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Or go down to the local restaurant and set Allday shooting the breeze...
I just wow. 1. What a patient dad. 2. What a smart young man, has the maturity and responsibility most adults don't have. 3. Always wanted to see up close how a harvester worked. Thanks and God Bless
Farmers have the best work ethic and this is exactly why, they learn young! Love it! Nice job, Onyx!! Proud viewer!! It's only 250,000 dollar machine! When I was 13 I was in charge of mu huffy bike!
This young boy is SO lucky to have a dad who is PATIENTLY teaching him to do what is essentially a man's job--and, more importantly, to do it responsibly. Too many kids today get little to no such training in living and having a responsible life. Kudos to BOTH of you--son and father--for the trust you have in each other.
Awesome to see you teaching your kids and watching them learn FAST .Im 21 and our generation isn't the greatest for wanting to work so to see your kids wanting to learn and work your doing a great job!!Going to have to pass it down some day!
The credit for how well Zach has raised Onyx actually goes to his father. He taught Zach to teach that way. Props to Gramps. (I am sure you have had just as important a role, Becky, props to you/your parents as well.}
This reminds me of my dad showing me how to drive his 18 wheeler. Some of the best moments of my life. I miss you so much dad. Rip. Super cool moment your son will never forget!!
Nothing better than teaching the kids the family business. Starting driving pick-ups at 8 years of age. By the time I was thirteen, I was driving anything with an engine on the farm. All that experience would help me later when I went on to drive ambulances and fire engines.
I remember when I drove my family’s Allis Chalmer’s tractor for the first time by myself. These are special moments that will be with you forever. Nice driving my man👌🏻🚜
When you hand over the 'con' to your son, its a huge leap of faith. When it all works out, its testament to the teaching you have done, and the learning he has done. Then he will improve on it 😎. Go Onyx! Well done young man 👍. And well done Dad, you're getting nearer that time when you can take it easier.....as you say;" the machines aren't that expensive" 🤪😂 Brilliant video both of you, brilliant. Thanks!
Just came across this channel, and as a father myself in England, UK, I found this very inspiring, sons, and daughters learning at a younger age, is the perfect way to learn, and although some may critisize, I wish more youngsters, and governments would allow this, well done, and I'll look forward to future videos now I have subscribed.
Green combines of today are simply amazing machines. Thank you, Zach and Becky for showing the machines and being proud of your amazing children, all three(or is it four😂).
As a grown man that started working in the 80s when I was a little younger than him, I found this video beautiful. Dad, GREAT job at doing your part in not only being a father but in raising a hard working young man that will produce in society for the rest of his life. To many kids just sit around and have no work ethic. So this is so refreshing to see 💙🇺🇸
Wow oh wow. This has to be your best video yet. I am beyond envious. I'm teaching my son to drive my 30hp tractor on our 5 acre property and he thinks it is the greatest thing ever. To see what you're teaching your kids makes me wish so badly I could do the same for my son. His absolute favorite things are tractors. You all are so blessed to be able to raise your kids this way. This is the absolute dream for me and how I wish I could raise my kids. I try not to envy much and be thankful for what I have instead of wishing for those things I don't have, but seeing this makes that hard.
I AM BEYOND SOO PROUD OF YOUR BOY AS IF HE IS MY OWN!! GREAT JOB ONYX!! I honesty wish i could see more great men raising another great man in training!! You are truley blessed. Thank you for doing what you ALL are doing. 💪💪🦅🦅♥️♥️
Good for this young man!! Nothing beats working and having a sense of responsibility and purpose. 👍 I worked when I was 13 as well. That's when I drove my 1st 18-speed. Still doing it decades later. I Love equipment and trucking. So peaceful.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
How old were you when you learned to drive combine?!
Thirteen I haven't. But I do cut and rake hay. And started to drive the skid steer around 4
Well, if I can stop by your farm tomorrow, then, 35. 😆
I was about 12 but the combines were much different then. No electronics other than lights. So Onyx is lightyears ahead. 👌
14.
If I swing by your farm next fall then 56.
That moment you look your son in the eyes and put your faith in him as a young man, then you get out the seat with your gut in faith and walk away with thoughts rushing though your head and then see them move off the spot then see them running it well. It just makes you wanna tear up being a proud father of your son becoming a young responsible man.
if i could double thumbs up that comment i would-tears to my eyes..
I teared up.. damn you
Great post cgb !!
Oh Wow! Sorry I just don't have enough thumbs to cover this young man's coming out! Very impressive Onyx! Ya done yer Dad n family proud. Congratulations!
🏁🇺🇸🏁 🤔 💯%....
He is 13 that’s the problem with society, kids are not being left to be kids
This video is incredible. Truly. I've watched the videos for years. This one is the absolute best. Nothing special, no gimmicks. A father teaching the next generation with immense patience and pride. This video, in my opinion, is something that should be viewed by everyone and be stowed away so that it is saved. This video, albeit short relative to a lifetime of teaching, shows how your food is made and how the traditions and knowledge is passed on. This is one of the most incredible videos I've ever watched. Thank you Johnson family for all that you do.
I appreciate too[also] and Two myself!
That's a heck of a compliment, thank you!
Joshua Vaughn, I agree with you 125%. You summed it up perfectly. Great stuff you guys. Cant wait to see the next one.
Best pert is along the way he kinda naturally answers a lot of common questions for viewers.
@@MillennialFarmer well deserved. Keep up the good work 👍
The patience Zac shows is impressive. Good vloger, better farmer, great dad
Great actor, I'd like to meet the real Zach Johnson
Ahem...Zach forgot to ask to SEE their thumbs first though!!
@@jerrypelletier2328 😂😂
Couldn't agree more.
When my dad thought me operations I recall a lot more yelling LoL. Maybe I should of gave him a camera
Let's just appreciate what a great childhood those kids have, running around on pit bikes, atv's, surrounded by massive tractors in nature, always outside. And then they have this wonderful, loving family who likes to teach them things. I'm kinda jealous :)

for real its my dream job
amen so am i, im really jealous
Same in Ireland 14 year olds driving tractors on the roads
Jealous, yes. Having spent twice 4 weeks on a farm with 15&16 as a young man it could have been my dreamjob. But finding a farmer‘s daughter was not an option, marring a farmer‘s son was in the 1980ties not an option either.

I was 8 when I started driving a tractor. 12 when I first drove a combine...Now, when you get both of the kids taught how to run the equipment. You can just drive around and yell at everyone! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Or go down to the local restaurant and set Allday shooting the breeze...
You should let Rhiannon run the grain cart next year and have Onyx run the combine.
And sit in the field with a cold one
If you watch his insta post she already does run it with Zach in the tractor
@@ethonator4099 I don't do social media it's toxic
@@joeykuiperij4806 I was just about to say that lol
Yea let’s do that for onx
He's such a great father. Just imagine if everyone had a father like that and what the world would be like.
The best episode of the year! I'm as proud as if they were my own kids.
How great is that Zach.... your son and your daughter working on the farm.
Made me smile, your obviously a very proud dad and with good reason.
Love the way you are building confidence in the young man. This is awesome. I know you are proud of him. As you should be. Great to see this!
That’s got to make you proud. God bless. So great to have the kids involved. Get them in the shop too.
How wonderful it is to have your son learning what his dad does for a living and want to take part. Total awesome 👍👍
I just wow. 1. What a patient dad. 2. What a smart young man, has the maturity and responsibility most adults don't have. 3. Always wanted to see up close how a harvester worked. Thanks and God Bless
Thank you!
I’m so Proud of your Young Man and your Young Lady your an Amazing Father you have a lot of Patience I really loved this video
These kids are getting a better education in the cab of a farm machine than they would in any public school.
100% agree on this what a proud moment for a father and a grandfather to witness the next generation of Farmers
Absolutely. I wish I learned this way instead of public school.
He's cutting the grain for your bread instead of going to school.
This is just job training, not a full education. Don't conflate the two. There's no need to pit them against each other either.
Hmm. I'm not a farmer (I'm in tech) but I'd guess these things are driving themselves before that child is fully grown.
Farmers have the best work ethic and this is exactly why, they learn young! Love it! Nice job, Onyx!! Proud viewer!! It's only 250,000 dollar machine! When I was 13 I was in charge of mu huffy bike!
Good to see all the children learning to help with the harvest.
This young boy is SO lucky to have a dad who is PATIENTLY teaching him to do what is essentially a man's job--and, more importantly, to do it responsibly. Too many kids today get little to no such training in living and having a responsible life. Kudos to BOTH of you--son and father--for the trust you have in each other.
Awesome to see you teaching your kids and watching them learn FAST .Im 21 and our generation isn't the greatest for wanting to work so to see your kids wanting to learn and work your doing a great job!!Going to have to pass it down some day!
Such a proud moment for you Zach. Watching your children progress into different jobs shows the farm would be in good hands in the future.
The credit for how well Zach has raised Onyx actually goes to his father. He taught Zach to teach that way. Props to Gramps.
(I am sure you have had just as important a role, Becky, props to you/your parents as well.}
Which is why Zac picked her?!
Nice to see 3 Generations working in one field.... Keep the content coming , enjoy all you and Co. do here in 🇬🇧...
My first visit from a 77 year old man. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to looking at more. Have subscribe.😀
This reminds me of my dad showing me how to drive his 18 wheeler. Some of the best moments of my life. I miss you so much dad. Rip. Super cool moment your son will never forget!!
Looks like you finally get that dedicated camera man for the channel. And guess what - it's you! :)
Good to see the kids taking over
It's great to see the next generation up and running Great video
the young man has some mad skills! good to him learning the farm! thank you for sharing!
Nothing better than teaching the kids the family business. Starting driving pick-ups at 8 years of age. By the time I was thirteen, I was driving anything with an engine on the farm. All that experience would help me later when I went on to drive ambulances and fire engines.
I remember when I drove my family’s Allis Chalmer’s tractor for the first time by myself. These are special moments that will be with you forever. Nice driving my man👌🏻🚜
Way to go Onyx. You are going to be a great asset for your Dad. Be safe you are doing great.
Has to be such a proud moment for you all, I Love it that you’re getting Rhiannon involved on the farm
that is so cool that he gets to drive a combine! props to you Zach!
When you hand over the 'con' to your son, its a huge leap of faith. When it all works out, its testament to the teaching you have done, and the learning he has done. Then he will improve on it 😎.
Go Onyx! Well done young man 👍. And well done Dad, you're getting nearer that time when you can take it easier.....as you say;" the machines aren't that expensive" 🤪😂
Brilliant video both of you, brilliant. Thanks!
Just came across this channel, and as a father myself in England, UK, I found this very inspiring, sons, and daughters learning at a younger age, is the perfect way to learn, and although some may critisize, I wish more youngsters, and governments would allow this, well done, and I'll look forward to future videos now I have subscribed.
Green combines of today are simply amazing machines. Thank you, Zach and Becky for showing the machines and being proud of your amazing children, all three(or is it four😂).
Awesome machine. Awesome teaching. Awesome bonding. Awesome memories. Awesome video!
❤
As a grown man that started working in the 80s when I was a little younger than him, I found this video beautiful.
Dad, GREAT job at doing your part in not only being a father but in raising a hard working young man that will produce in society for the rest of his life.
To many kids just sit around and have no work ethic. So this is so refreshing to see
💙🇺🇸
Thank you!!
Wow oh wow. This has to be your best video yet. I am beyond envious. I'm teaching my son to drive my 30hp tractor on our 5 acre property and he thinks it is the greatest thing ever. To see what you're teaching your kids makes me wish so badly I could do the same for my son. His absolute favorite things are tractors. You all are so blessed to be able to raise your kids this way. This is the absolute dream for me and how I wish I could raise my kids. I try not to envy much and be thankful for what I have instead of wishing for those things I don't have, but seeing this makes that hard.
Pretty cool to see the kiddos stepping up to learn how to run the machines.👍🏼👍🏼
Hi what’s up with you
Let’s get to know each other better
That was fun to watch. He catches on quickly. Looking forward to tomorrow's lesson. 🙂
🥲 I felt so proud for You … what a awesome dad moment. Good video sir
He’s going to be an amazing farmer one day Zach! Awesome young man you and Becky have right there!! They grow up so fast. Lol
Deyuuum!! You've got a pretty bright future ahead of you young man!! Remember to say your prayers and be thankful!!
I watched this with my 10 yr old daughter. She loves operating our skid steer on the farm. It makes me so happy to see this! 🇺🇸
I remember my first time soloing for a day in the combine at 11 years old. I have never felt as proud as I did then. Way to go Onyx!
I AM BEYOND SOO PROUD OF YOUR BOY AS IF HE IS MY OWN!! GREAT JOB ONYX!! I honesty wish i could see more great men raising another great man in training!! You are truley blessed. Thank you for doing what you ALL are doing. 💪💪🦅🦅♥️♥️
Not even my kid but I’m damn proud of him! Loved watching him grow into a young man and farmer.
Fine young Man right there.
Hope all is well with you and your family!
Good for this young man!! Nothing beats working and having a sense of responsibility and purpose. 👍 I worked when I was 13 as well. That's when I drove my 1st 18-speed. Still doing it decades later. I Love equipment and trucking. So peaceful.
Its great to see these kids taking such an interest in continuing on the family farm.
