  • Hauling Corn in January is always a fun job. Minnesota winter road conditions almost always make for a mess. Slick roads make the job a bit more difficult.

    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.

We would spend all weekend in our boats down on the lower end of Lake Cumberland. A lot of people came down from Ohio to Camp the better parts of Summers that was in the early summer and we would get to know eachother and they love their music,and we loved to play so it worked well for all,, and just had a blast,, really good memories thanks for giving me a chance to unload

    Little note from the Edge, your tractor's air Suspension ist loosing air pressure. Normaly the 4-cycle-safetyvalve secures all cycles from the leeking one. (If such a system is common in the US). So this is not a normal loose of supplypressure, there must be a leak in one of the airbellows, hose, or levelvalve.

You not only have yourself to keep safe but your children could play around the silo's and pups. Got to protect everything near and dear to your hearts right.

    Renewable clean energy !! Yeah baby !! I worked on cars,trucks,machines professionally for 35 years....in New England. Every day during winter, when I lifted vehicles on the lift and worked on them...The snow, salt, slush like on your trucks, would drip into my eyes, ears, down my back !..down my sleeves !! I was soaking wet every day !! Do that every day for decades...It really sucked !! I want a re-boot !! I got ripped off in life !! Stupid choices..I have made.
