What's The Worst that Could Happen?!

- After a couple inches of rain we decided to switch over to corn to work the kinks out of the grain dryer and bins. The first 3 loads have yielded pretty poorly. We will switch back to beans this evening and tomorrow. #Harvest2021

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.

Your children’s smiles make everyone smile!
“I hope I don’t knock over any of this corn” that absolutely sent me 😂😂
U
Zack, I used to build those bins. The side gates we tore them apart and welded the set ring onto the steel rod inside the gate. That way you don’t have to tear open the floor! Best to do when empty, “trust me” ha.
I appreciate your "humor" and being lighthearted with the tough growing season this last year.
Speaking of two machines: You could keep the 9870 through harvest, at least through soybean harvest, and sell it after.
We have a custom operator close to me. They operate 4 Forage harvesters. Every April, they buy a new one, and run 5 through the season. Then in November, they sell the oldest and repeat. So they only pay off on 4 in the off season, and never have any that are too old. 👍
That's a nice little "Battle-rhythm" they got going on...Capital intense the first 5 years or so until you get everything in Sync.
I would guess as the new boss took over they were running the 4-5 machines and then he just started to exchange the oldest/broken one and buy an replacement.
Maybe the guy knows how to write it off so the irs is happy
@@mwnciboo The place have been going for over 50 years, this is just their latest adjustment ;)
“Gee I hope I didn’t knock over any of that corn”! 😂😂
Zach is so dry. That was a perfect Forrest Gump at the end. It's kind of nice of Zach to giving us something to smile about while they are bringing in such a poor harvest. I know all our fingers are crossed for a bumper harvest next year to average things out. 🤞🏻
Your "Fan Club" is still here.😊
That dickey John moisture tester throws a code if you get a piece of kernel stuck inside. Give it a tap or two and the grain will dislodge. I had mine do that a few times, it happens!
Love that you went and got the kids for a ride before bed.
You missed a great dad joke “The combine and head are doing a reel good job!”
It is so Cool you bond with your Kids. Glad you are teaching them the life of Farming. God Bless you and Family.
LOL @ “Used an impressive amount of screws and ran out of patience”. We’ve all been there.
That really is an impressive amount of screws! Good job, Zach, Good job.
Zack I have to tell you Man your two kids they put a big smile on my face and my heart oh my goodness such a precious little ones you are a blessed man Zack
Why do people dislike this content? It's such a good time watching this
Petty pathetic people like. die-hard Case fans for example... they see John Deere and instant-dislike it for that reason only.
@@lunasilvermoon2283 so true. it's like playstation vs xbox. its all about who's the best
Zach saying "what's the worst that could happen?" is like the new guy in the unit saying that it's "really quiet". Just asking for trouble.
Its not the falling that hurts Zack,its the blooming landing that does!!
funny how falling feels like flying just for a little while
Love your Dad’s truck! She’s a beaut.
Enjoyed that video .......................................getting exciting, feels like Christmas with the harvesting.
I think it is so great that you took the time to pick up the girls for a combine ride and then took them back to the house. What memories are made of.
"Adhesive weld whip" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great Humor at 100 feet in the air 😉
2 days in a row, that's how you know shits getting real
Loved the kids on the combine; thanks for showing that to us. Nothing quite like family to bring a little joy. Improved my day for sure!
Get some PTFE valve packing material, comes in a roll, just cut to fit and slip it into the ring ends. Less mess and lasts a long time. You are right though the ring let the pipe ends spread, only way corn is getting into the ring.
I love all of you, ur farm, ur kids, ur wife and u dude! I've got my fingers crossed that you at least do good enough this year with your yield 😊 take care all of you x
Love the harvest updates! Keep them coming! Good luck!
Have you thought of wearing a safety harness when you are way up high?
Your kids are going to remember riding with dad for the rest of their lives. You are blessed to have a job that you can share with them.
You are blessed with a great family. Nice video.
Thanks for the great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Great to start seeing harvest videos again. Been a while. Lots of items to check on your bin setup. Looks like you got it all going. Nice bun and dryer setup. The dogs are busy with the mice coming out of conveyors. Keeps em busy. Interesting that you have beans and corn going at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to let the kids ride for a while. Good education for them. Will be anxious to see the honey bee header run in the field compared to the JD header. Appreciate you doing that. Glad you climbed up to the top of bin system. Heights are not my favorite thing. But you do what you got to do. Amen to that. About it for now. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks. You all take care and be safe.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
There is nothing better than having my girls in the tractor with me, always makes me smile even when I’m in a bad mood.
I know I there are stresses in you life we don’t see, the last few minutes of this video will make stresses go away! Your kids are cool, I love your work!
Going to be an awesome sight the day your son and daughters are running the combines and you can sit on your porch and watch.
Can’t quit watching. Would love to spend the season working with you all. Love what you do.
Glad to see your dad is well.
Very nice Forrest impersonation there at the end. I could just see Forrest as a farmer there for a brief moment.
Looked to see if anyone else commented on this yet, you beat me to it Sir.
When you were up there examining that leaky grain hoist pipe, i muttered "Fix it with duct tape". But I didn't expect you to actually pull out a roll of duct tape! That got a laugh. You must be a Red-Green fan too.
Me and my church has praying for you and your family and the farm and Jim we pray for a good harvest God bless you all
Remember...it's not the fall that kills you. It's that sudden stop when you reach the bottom!
What a rich feeling that must be, harvesting with your children at armlength. Golden moments.
Waiting in line hauling beans and figured why not watch it
If there's anything I've learned from watching top gear all these years it's that title is a recipe for disaster.
The other is "how hard can it be?"
@@jmacd8817 That's what she said! Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)
Still, it could be worse...
I farm in southwest Iowa beans yields are running 70-75 bushel an ace got the rains at the right time here best beans ever I have seen
If you guys got a repeater on top of your grain bin man you guys would have amazing range on those radios even with the handhelds
nice video. finally harvest. was a nice surprise on my birthday. to see a harvest video. nice to see that your children like to go with you in the evening
There was me thinking Zach was going to give us a demonstration of his singing skills and an Elvis impression (a little less talk, a little more action.)
Your thinking of Toby Keith
@@tannerphillips5303 I was thinking the same thing. Took me a second. Like wait that ain’t right
If Zach uses the same sarcasm with the goddess of the home, as he does with the goddess of wind. He's probably spot-on with the end of that statement. LOL
@@tannerphillips5303 Toby Keith's rendition was released November 1993 and was a top chart single is probably the reason you think he was the original actually Hank Williams Jr release the original in February of 1992.
Actually Elvis Presley's release in 19 68 was a little less conversation. That is the one us old farts remember! LOL
Wow just an incredible video it's cool to see you spending time with your kids and working on the farm I'm glad to see your dad is doing well
Hi Zac you could use the vhf radios you all ready have put a repeater on your grain leg get the radios set up to the repeater and put the transmit frequency of the repeater in as a talk around channel when you are out of range of the repeater or it goes down.We are grain farmers over here in Australia we have two repeaters one is on a 100ft tower and covers 50 to 60km other one is on a hill and gets more than 100km our repeaters are in the uhf band 470 MHz the reason for this is over here we have uhf cb radios as well they used to have 40ch and now have moved to 80 ch all farms use this service over here but is to congested at busy times like harvest,planting cotton pick as well as the trucking industry and general users. Our radios have the uhf cb channels fitted and our licensed repeaters frequency we still use HF radios here as well they cover the whole of Australia our cell phone network is the most useless setup I have ever used or seen yet Constance drop outs out of service or not working at all we are lucky to have as well a HF radio network called VKS737 it has frequency’s to cover more than 3000km the whole country is possible monitored 24 hours a day in conjunction with the royal flying doctor service I have heard all kind of emergency medical break downs and other problems in the the outback with help could be days away.Our repeaters and Hf radios play a big part in our farming operation over here would be without it
Hey love da channel im a 14 year old farm kid from norway its cool to see how different farming is around the World
*THE CRYPTO AND FOREST TRADE CURRENCY MARKET HAS BEEN GOOD NEWS LATELY, MANY PEOPLE IN IT ARE SEEKING A GREAT RETURN INVESTING TO SECURE MORE PROFIT AND ENSURE SUCCESS*
You're right ma,
That is why I had to start forex trading
2months ago and now am making benefits from it,
Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Dean Kirsty,
My first inv... with Mrs Dean Kirsty gave me profit,
and I can even say she's the most sincere broker I have known.
With all that equipment, have you ever been using some after not using it awhile and forget how to use it, or program or not put some settings correctly? I'm amazed at all of the technology involved with the tractors and the mechanics on the silos.
All the time!
i love this time of year
Stick a repeater up on the grain bins structure so you can talk to each other better on the VHF or UHF.
Only 5 miles apart, they shouldn’t have any issues anyway.
Watching your show, nearly on a daily basis all the 6.633km long way from Denmark.
Great videos! It's nice to follow you, your family and the daily work on the farm 1o1 in some wide showing videos
Awesome harvest video. You are a funny man Mr. Johnson. Keep up the great work.
Good luck!! Hope your machines work well this year. At least you got two combines running and NEITHER of them is going to need repairs (fingers crossed)
I catch myself checking RUclips multiple times a day waiting for these videos to come out.
Love your dad's red truck.great vid forest.🤣🤣
For the ones that don't know what Zack is talking about he has a CF dryer which means continuous flow that's why he said he had to check the corn sample coming out the back of the dryer
For those locking collars, bring a drill bit the same size as the tap for the screw and add a small divot for the collar lock screw to get into. That way it’s not relying on clamping force so much.
"Gee, I hope I didn't knock over any of that corn" Now that was rich.
It's nice you can joke about it a little. I mean the alternative is to just sit down and cry. (I've been there before).
Hope your yield is better than expected.
Take care.
Fun times with the kids! Love the crack about your self driving equipment, too funny.
Ahhh nothing better than sitting down to lunch and watching this!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Speaking straight facts
True, but late dinner over here.
Great video. Best farmer on you tube. And I watch all the farming videos on RUclips. 👍❤️😁.
I love how Didge is posed like the Ferrari prancing pony logo in the thumbnail.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy crap, good catch!
Hey Zac, I'm from otter lake michigan. I've been watching your videos for years. I raise hay and cattle on my farm. In your slow season and travels we'd welcome a visit from you. Keep up all the good work. Your videos are the highlight of our day.
Great Millennial Farmer Video, thanks for sharing
Your kids are precious. Love 'em!
Your kids may not realize it now, but they have the best childhood ever !
Anna has 4 Paw Drive !
I understand may think we be need hustle and bustle but I'm fine with you talking I'm learning allot very interesting stuff
Just got an ad whilst watching your video, it was your truly millennial farmer talking about the Dakota micro cameras!
Good to see that harvest is started. Good luck, hope your yields are better than you expected.
Good attitude Zach, considering the weather you had for the crops. Hope God blesses you and yours even more this year!!
Good evening. On your KW with the N14 in it. Your slow crank is a starter.
At 8:31 You'll see the control box Zach is working on is from Convey-Air System by Farm Fans, Inc. from my hometown Indianapolis, Indiana.
Ever notice how clean Becky keeps all four of her kids?
Zach, you need a fall arrest harness when you are up that elevator leg! Sure beats hitting the ground... They sell stirrup style straps that drop down so you can stand instead of dangling
Pretty awesome all the kids are showing an interest in the farm!
I have a similar grain system across the road from us. Why do I watch it on here?! LoL 😂😆
Hope harvest goes well for you!
I can tell you love your family!
His dogs are so free! Those have to be some of the happiest dogs I've ever seen. I mean they just get to run around that whole property for miles! Pretty good life for a dog. I wonder where they sleep LOL
They have beds in the heated garage and can go in and out of the doggy door as they please
And they keep the burglar population under control.
God bless the farmers of America and God bless America
I really like your interaction with the kids!
I was working at an elevator and an overhead drag plugged and blew the cover off, I was picking corn out of my tool bag for a couple years afterwards.
When I read the title, my immediate response was, “oh dear”. 😆
Love the Forest Gump reference 😂 I’m 35 and only watched that movie for the 1st time recently
Good luck on everything y’all have in the fields and I pray for y’all have a great corn and soybeans harvest
Down here in Mississippi and Arkansas we irrigate corn and beans with polypipe which means we plant on raised beds and the irrigation water flows down the middles. When we cut beans we always cut diagonally across the rows. It feeds better and since we have fire ants the beans feeding in at an angle helps the keep the fire ant mounds raked off of the header.
Zach, I think what you were looking for was “A little less conversation, a little more action please” from an Elvis Presley song called A Little Les Conversation released in 1970
Red green would be proud of your fix
Got to love it when you first fire up the head and the reel wants to take off down the field
You should get a safety harness for when you have to go up there,you can hook yourself into something.I'd guess the landing would not be comfortable.
I fell 11 feet. Went head first. The worst was a torn liver and a broken back. That retired me.
I will second that remark. Get several, keep one in your vehicle and one or two in your dryer shack. Not only can they save a life, but it can make high altitude repairs less stressful and easier.
Nice video Zach, hope the rest of harvest is that smooth too!
I miss when je drops the camera and taps the screening asking of we okay lmaoo
Zach I checked out the peterson family channel “crop dusters “ now I have a problem?🥸no I still like your channel better 🤪🥳mr. Nate and your mother should be very proud of you 👏🥰I am just a disabled man trying to do the best I can after a tractor 🚜 trailer hit a 🚗 carrying my wife, 10 day old baby girl and myself 😂I am very glad to enjoy 😉 your view of raising a wonderful family from what I see and mrs Becky is a dream life and you guys are living very beautifully 😇hey brother you have you own Saturday night live show and you get better ratings 😎😎😎
I think that ending was one of my favourites so far, Forrest
Nice Forest Gump impression! 😎👍🏻
Hey Zack I can't get enough of your videos. When are we going to see Old Glory flying on the augers of those beautiful John Deere combines on your farm.
I understand Lankota makes the flag pole mounts that are on the two JD combines of the Larson Farms my second favorite farming family.
Your kids are growing up so fast pretty soon they be going off to college. I glad you taking video spend time with them now
Good video. Long hours and days are exhausting. Little time with the kids but kids understand what dad is doing. Relieves there stressful day. Later.
Good dad taking the kids for rides in the combine!!!!!!!
"Because I'm a Millennial and I can't drive anything that can't drive itself". LOL You got a Sub
