    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.

  • @jong5800
    @jong5800 23 дня назад +4

  • @stuartmeier240
    @stuartmeier240 22 дня назад +2

    Plant right through it. The wheat gave good tillith, and creates a moisture barrier when left alone.

  • @LordGadwin
    @LordGadwin 23 дня назад +27

    Maybe four decades ago, doctors came out with this kick against salt. Some of us never worked in offices. Lack of salt and electrolytes could kill you and it almost did more than once. Salt tablets were a necessary part of the kit. When you drank all kinds of water and just felt sick, it was well past time for electrolytes. Glad to see some sanity on this subject. Early in the season is when it catches you before you remember.

    That's awesome doing what you can when you can to support make-a-wish.
    It'd be less cool but still awesome to see a deep ripper or root plow in the fields. Followed by a large tandem pasture aerator. To relevel the field, improve water retention and reduce compaction.
    Keep up the good work fueling the country.

    It put a smile to my face seeing you make that guys dream. Those with mental or physical issues are angels in disguise. Btw for the field you were talking about, you can till it, but the moisture might decrease. Yet again, seeding it straight away might prove beneficial. I know people hate fence sitters, but it depends all on the moisture content in the field and the weather to come before the end of spring.
