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.

I like the way you and your father work together and you are smart enough to listen to his experience. Hope you and Onyx keep it going just like that.
Happy Thanksgiving Zach and family!
Zach, you supposed to use the outriggers and backhoe to remove backhoe from tractor. It’s why the pump has the extra feet of hydraulic hose. With pump running, drop outriggers and drop dipper so bucket is on ground. That is what holds the unit upright so you can remove. The rams will most likely settle in time, so when you reinstall, hook up pump first to tractor, it’s why you have extra hose..get the outriggers and dipper back to where you need them and hook up backhoe.
😇🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍🤩😘😘😘🥵🥶🤠🥳🥳🥸🥸🥸🥸😎😎😎😎😎
We had a rock in a field in Condon Oregon I was sick of hitting. Took the Cat D6C dozer and started dozing around it. The rock ended up being the size of a Jeep Wrangler and I had a huge excavation around it. I couldnt slide it but was able to roll it out of the field with the dozer. Stupid rock turned into a whole day project.
Zach, those brown gloves bring back sooo many found memories...I chuckled a little to myself and, I'll be darned if my eye didn't leak a bit....it's funny how silly things trigger an old archive in the memory bank...thanks
Just an observation about cleaning out the dryer. Find an industrial shop vac or something for that bottom part. But if that isn't a option then invest into some knee pads. I love cat dog, the cartoon not so much. Can't wait to see the new storage shed being built.
A dust collector for a woodshop would probably work pretty well. Most have a 4" hose connection and move a ton of air/can handle long hoses, plus they're not super expensive.
@@howtowakeakar I was going to suggest a shop vac with the dust bag inside it to save the filter, and buy a couple hoses and daisy chain them together to keep the air from blowing around too much... though, the $5 broom is a cheaper option.
Hab that idea too. But such an investment for something that is needed once a year in a 3 hour job.
J
Chet pn Larson Farms uses a leaf blower ro clean out his driers
Zach, please tell Anna to be patient. Daddy’s got what it takes for 1M subs.
Don't refer to the dogs owner as daddy. It's weird
@@dk3062hahahaha
I’m sure you have a good reason,but why don’t you use a big vac. Seems likes it would be a little easier
@@robbiebowie6505.
Yuppers, a Vac truck is what he needs.
With 100 feet minimum of hose.
Like they use to clean ducting in buildings.
@@dk3062 yeah, absolutely right. Its funny for some people
I would watch a whole channel of shoveling, sweeping and scraping. So satisfying
he should make his kids do it
Thank you Becky for editing these crazy videos for Zach, although I think it would be funny if yall switched places for a day, the editor becomes the farmer and the farmer becomes the editor
Ya that cool
Nooooo
Yes!
🤣🤣🤣 that would be great!!
If you put the legs and bucket down on the backhoe it will be a 3 point stand that allows you to unhook it from the tractor. It also makes it adjustable to hook it back up again.
Watching you use the tractor mounted back hole told me one thing I will buy a back hole not a tractor mounted mounted one ,also like the idea of a warm cab .Putting it 18 in under how long will it take the frost push it back up ,could be fun to come back up .
A degelmen rock digger would of dug that right out.
Always enjoy your content. My 10 year old son watches your vids with me, we live across the road from a huge farm, one of the biggest in McCleod county. They've taken him planting a few times last summer, and he'll spend all day outside watching various equipment coming and going out of their driveway. This farm actually owns one of your old combines from what I understand!
I bet you'll see that big rock again Zach. The Frost will push it right up and out again. Looking forward to seeing the new shed completed.
He should have initialed it and written a date on it for the next guy to marvel at.
Chain it and lift it out with the bucket? Drill holes and use expanding concrete to bust it up? It will be back.
@@lowercherty Does a hoe like that not have a pile driver addon or soemthing?
He will be finding that in no time with the ripper
Exactly what I thought..might take 50 years though..;)
It is nice to have a loyal cat to make sure that you are safe.
I enjoy these videos so much. To me, these videos show what is going on the real world not this dramatic crap in this world that on TV today. Just keep bringing out the great videos.
What's up Zach. I'm Jeff. 59 years old. Grew up with 700 acres split 🌽 and beans..35 acres tobacco. This video took me far back too beginning of my life in NC. All the work you did this day I have done. And I miss it. But my knees are bad now. And I wouldn't change a thing. Your kids have got to love you bo cause you are a cool ass dude and working man. Really enjoy the videos Ms Becky. Have good Thanksgiving
Zach, to let you know, it’s quicker to remove rocks with your skidsteer and forks. I’ve done both methods and the skidsteer has substantial more power. And you can carry it on forks when removed. You can plunge the forks right into Mother Earth and curl back under rock..works quite well..have a great Thanksgiving!!
But that’s not as fun as using a backhoe
Funny, I didn’t hear him ask for your opinion in the video
@@gregjames5070 relax Francis..go back to your parents basement, shouldn’t you be on Twitter or Facebook? Or in your game chair?
@@gregjames5070 Nobody...asked for your uncalled for nasty comment.
Obviously I know money doesn't grow on trees, but I think once you have this backhoe and realize all the things and different ways it can be helpful then I think you'll want to upgrade to a proper backhoe pretty soon. I haven't ran a 3 point before so maybe it's more capable than I think but I'm guessing even a older machine will have many more uses and might end up not hurting the wallet as much you would expect.
We went with a mini excavator. Very useful Machine for so many things.
I was thinking the same thing Jack. A used backhoe can be found for no more money than that little three point "backhoe" attachment.
If Millennial Farms has an equipment rental, they could rent an excavator, one hundred percent write off as a business expense.
If you're buying Napa batteries for the truck that could be the problem. I would go with Cat, Interstate, or paccar TRP. Make sure you clean the lugs really good with a rolloc disk and make sure the disconnect switch is really working with an ohm meter. Make sure all the grounds go through the disconnect switch if there's an ECM or tarp ground hooked to the battery it will still draw down.
Dad looks like quite the worker. Salt of the earth type. Beautiful dogs.
Always a good day when you post a video. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family!
Zach, I know you live in MN so the next time that you bury a rock make sure that you bury it below the frost line so that the frost doesn't push it back up. Can't wait to see the new shed go up, I believe that it will be called the He Shed! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
AND WE ONLY GOT 32,000 TO GO!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!! IVE BEEN HERE SINCE 125K. TO SEE THE GROWTH IS INCREDIBLE!! GOD BLESS!
I had the same issue with my plow truck, you should put a battery cut off switch in it so whn your done you can cut power from the battery.
Catdog “Ray” seems right at home in the shop. “Gotta have more Catdog” 🐈
I've been subbed for atleast 3 years now and I'm following the off the hust podcast so technically I'm subbed x2 I did my part and I (I can not stress this enough) HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend listening to the podcast!!!! Too many times I had to pull over and put my busy day on hold because I had tears swelling up and breaking my ribs laughing so damn hard at some of the things Zach and randy says 🤣🤣
We fought batteries too on our semis. We eventually went to a geared down starter and ran an extra ground to the frame. Went from one that doesn’t want to start at 30 degrees well to something that fires off at 10.
I'm very pleased to know all of you kids😎 love You Becky ! You found a wonderful man😎
I've run a backhoe for years and the best advice I can give is you will get used to it lol. Just know you're not going to hurt it and smoother is better 👍
So glad to see work starting on the new building, I know you must be excited too. Really looking forward to the time lapse video!
That cat/dog really loves you. LOL That little backhoe attachment is cool. Not a giant but really handy. You'll get better with practice. You're doing fine. Keep feeding America.
Zach, my dad had a dryer much smaller than that, but during the season he would open those small doors opposite the fans once in a while when the dryer is running, so most of the stuff would blow out. Just stand clear when you open them.
Hey Zac, have you considered putting an isolation switch on the truck to stop the slow drain on the batteries, mounted on the battery box on the negative, it'd keep your batteries from being drained.
Greetings from Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada, 🇨🇦thoroughly love your videos, your sense of humour is what pushes them right over the top. You’re rapport with the dogs is awesome and you gotta love that cat/dog.
I use to work for a company that made powdered metal components. The dust was mostly iron, graphite, and zinc sterate. Really heavy and nasty stuff when it mixed with hydraulic oil leaking from the presses.
I had a vacuum line made that would reach down into the pits under the presses and suck up all the crap so the crew didn't have to get into the pits and shovel.
We took a piece of metal tubing about 10 feet long and put a 1/4" air nozzle into the side of the pipe about 6" from the end that pointed back toward the other end. We pumped 100 psi shop air into the nozzle. That created a vacuum to lift the powder and crap into the pipe then the air nozzle blew the junk up the pipe into a 55 gallon drum with a filter bag over a vent in the top of the drum.
It worked great. You could do the same. Just make the pipe long enough to reach into the bins.
It would work even better on the light stuff in your bins.
We purchased a leaf/vac trailer to clean up around the dryer and it works great!makes it almost shovel-less will definitely cut down on the bending over inside if you get the tube long enough. Just a little idea we tried and thought we would shoot it your way
I suspect that that rock will be back up to plow depth in a few years!
I love the newest cast member; CatDog is a keeper!
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I have a bad feeling that if we don't see CatDog again one day randomly it's because he got smooshed. In one of his podcasts he goes into detail on how many cats get run over in the yard every year 😬
Im waiting for haverst
I'd say you need a medium size vac truck with at least 100 feet of hose to clean all that post harvest debris up.
Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
It's farmers like you who make our Thanksgiving day meals possible.
So, thank you for your hard work and taking us along on your daily endeavors.
Ooh, gotta love CatDog.
Really cool how it hangs around with you.
What i love about you guys is that you take good care of the equipment you own
Giving respect to those machines is something that i respect a lot
Snap of the fingers trick always works when cleaning your dryer lol 😂
I forgot about that. That would have made it do easy.
More vids over the weekend please 🙏... awsome viewing 👌
Congrats on the shooting range! Hopefully we can get some videos of it on your second channel!
Glad that shed people are there. Keep up the good work you are doing and get ready for planting soon. You and your Father are great working together.
Zach I think you done pretty good with the backhoe and I liked the happy Gilmore line hahaha 😆
I laughed so hard when Onyx cruised by in the Ranger with his customers in the back seat just looking around.... So glad for all of you to see the new shed starting to take shape. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.
Just wait until next harvest, then the kids take one dog each in the combine and grain cart, for company. Zack will be left with catdog for company.
@@ziran123 🤣
What would of been even better if " cat dog" had been in the window. 😆
I saw that part and as a dad myself was thinking did he really say he was cleaning up without even being told to do so.
Zack your videos always cheer me up and make me laugh,, Happy thanksgiving to you and your family..
It's Zach, not Zack.
If you add a peice of 12" long 4.5" ( I recall) silicone tubing like you use on turbo charger on the end of that leaf blower you don't have to bend over. If you cut it on an angle with a little finger on it like an elephants trunk. You can use the tongue to get down in cracks.
I'm just waiting to see your new shed to be built. It is interesting to see the pipes you put in a year ago to drain your fields.
Burying the huge rock will be a nice time capsule for the next gen. 😉
It will be poking through the surface again within 5 years.
I spent more time admiring the tractors than listening to the Zach talk about simply safe
Sponsors are sponsors. Sometimes we recognize a good product. bite or lip and move on with sponsorship.
So many rocks in Tennessee . Rocks would get pitched on a pile. After the pile was large enough , the crusher would come and break up the stones. The small stone was placed in the driveway to keep the mud down. And give a base to drive on. Later.
put dirt back in the hole move the rock around add more dirt and the rock will soon be on top of the ground and you can move it with something bigger
"I think I might need a snowblower"
This old farmer from Western New York says it might be a good idea to get it hooked up sooner rather than later.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thanks for all you do, it’s appreciated!
This is the first millenial farmer video I ever watched. How grateful I am that CZcams recommended me a random farming CZcams channel.
Agree. It's never ok to enter a grain bin or silo without a spotter/escape. Alone on the farm is not when you decide to do grain bin work. Farm safety is number one. I'm a big fan of your postings.
Cleaning out that dryer looks like a really good job for little people, if you know what I mean
Congrats on your new business endeavor. It's a dying sport in my area. It's nice to see you support the RIGHT causes.
We're pretty pumped!
One thing on cleaning out your dryer. Everyday or two during drying open that little door a crack or little more below the entrance of each air chamber. It will blow the fines out. Sometimes something to disturb the fines is necessary. But not usually.
I enjoy your videos they are entertaining. Friendship with your dogs and cats is nice to see.👍❤️🇨🇦
Catdog.. the actor that plays numbnuts. 🤔
Zach, since the shed is already constructed by the time of this video, are you going to pour a concrete floor inside of it or are you going to leave it dirt? Will it be another heated shop?
How important is the Millennial Farmer to Google. When you showed the shed crew working drilling post holes, I got the idea of going on google maps, taking a picture of your old shed and someday comparing it to the new shed. Your satellite picture already shows your new area ready to build your new shed. I looked around my area and the satellite shot are from no newer than 2018. I hope they get it built before the snow flies. 😀
Good to see a Father and son working together. lot of things to do to get ready for the winter thanks for the videos
Another excellent video. Thank you for sharing all of this. I hope you all get time to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday. Be safe and be well.
Some notes I have taken after watching this video... for future reference:
- Get good knee pads... you will find it much more comfortable when crawling under, into, and around the dryer.
- Next year it may be time Onyx learn how to drive a shovel to help in the clean up
- Also... next year it may be time Onyx shadow you around the farm to learn on all the preventative maintenance you do after harvest. He is a smart guy. Time to fill his brain with more useful information.
Love the videos .Maybe time for an excavator or a true backhoe? It was both entertaining and infuriating watching you dig the rock.
John Deere does sell excavators .😁
I haven't had a huge backhoe... but I can't imagine it'd compare with an excavator still. Once you own one, you can't go back
I'm so glad on fitting everything in the shed.. Dad was the same way.. I have some OCD. Haha. Puppy cat!
The cat saw you moving heavy scoops it ran away. Then it said it would protect the bob cat! LOL!
Sneakers for your knees!
As cats go, you've got a good one. Verrry friendly and wouldn't think of using its built-in defense capabilities.
Yes, both of those cats are nice. One of my black cats is totally feral, but very friendly towards me! Her little brother is, too...when it's time for chow, he gets all excited and starts squeaking!
You could have tied a chain around the rock and pulled it out
The battery issues in the kenworth are an earth lead problem. Every kenworth I have driven has done it at one point. Always like flat batteries and they're not flat .put your hand on the battery leads and crank I bet they get hot.
Can't wait 4 ur new shed.. I hate stuff Sitting outside and weeds.. Weedeater in spots..
Could you use a roof scraper/shovel (that you use to pull snow off your roof) in that lower plenum to pull the crud out without having to climb in?
Onyx better enjoy the time he still has before he has to do the jobs dad doesn't want to do. Know how that goes.
WOW! 72' Trusses will be awesome to set in the winds of December! 🤣 That bottom level of the dryer looks like a crematory full of Ashe's!
Those tight areas in the dryer look to be onyx size by next year. At least that’s how my dad would’ve thought of it. Lol
I like your Sauk Center sweatshirt when we would come up to Minnesota every summer we would stop at the hi-ho Cafe in Sauk Center... it was a 3/4 ways point to Park Rapids
Grab yourself a roof snow shovel for clearing under the dryer. Less bending and crawling you can just use the extensions and the rear facing shovel to pull it out.
That cat is absolutely in love with you. what did you do??? HAHAHAA
ANNA!!! ITS OK BABY, YOU'LL GET THERE. 🤣 Im thankful for genuine ppl who make you feel like their own is your own as well. Very proud to see the father youve become. For the dogs,,, and the kids 🤣🤣I swear i know those dogs 🤣 didge reminds me of my buddys ole dog. Stay safe out there.
Surprised you left that rock in the field - guaranteed to make another appearance in a few years!
Maybe you can ask Santa for some knee pads and a blower/vac (it's a blower and flip a switch is vacuums). Then maybe you won't mess up your knees and not have to brush the driers out then shovel it up.
I just found you and I just want to thank you for your clean/family friendly content and in a world of content cutting creators that make 10-15 minute videos you make them long to pass the time, thankyou
I also find myself laughing at a lot of the stuff you do/say. We all need a good comedic relief here and there
Zach, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
The frustration comes every 2 - 5 minutes, Google is forcing ads to be watched. Totally screws up the experience watching of all the work you put into farming and video.
Keep up the great work!
I started following you 2-3 weeks ago and you had 945k subscribers. Today it’s 968k. It won’t be long now until you hit 1mm.
Only advice to give on running a backhoe is RPM’s, you want high RPM’s to have the most efficient control.
Am so excited about the time-elapse for the replacement shed/barn.
Should think about a tower dryer when it's time to upgrade. Much more fuel efficient and easier to clean.
I think that those small areas in the dryer are the perfect size for onyx to do some shovel work😉
This Cat is so Lovely and Cute... 😊🥰
Why not use a shop-vac inside the dryer and maybe a scraper? Use a lift with the shop-vac in the bucket to lift it and a little generator or extension cords.
Your videos are awesome, I spent my summers on my Grandfather's farm between Barnrsville and Wolverton Minnesota. I also spent time near Doran at my uncle's farm. The farming was different in the 1970's & 80's.
I build CNH tractors in the Fargo plant.
I'm glad I found your channel, I find it very comforting to be out in the country.
The moment i was gone say no dead bateries for a while on the farm, the truck showed up!😂
Just Ideas ! Happy Thanks Giving
Hey Mr. Millenial Farmer,
now that I have seen that in all of your Simply Safe announcements: Please keep your carbon monxide sensor lower to the ground. Carbon monoxide is way heavier than air, which means, it fills a room up from the bottom to the top. If you have your sensor really high up in the room, the room is already full with carbon monoxide and there is still no alarm. I would suggest, that you put it at a height of about 1ft 8in (should be half a meter 😁). Just for your and your familiy´s safety.
Greetings from an Austrian engineer/farmer 😁
Before new batteries check your battery cables, the ground to frame cable and the solenoid connections if you haven't. Thank you for all you with raising money for farm safety!
I got a rock out that was about half-again bigger, with a crappy old loader. I ended up with at 25-35 foot tapered hole, wrapped 2-3 heavy chains around it, and dragged it to the edge of the field. Where we live, rocks just work their way up, so if we can get to it, we remove them, by chains, or dynamite (old method).
Try changing the battery cables happened on my truck batteries were new but the insides of the cables were broke and wasn’t getting all of the juice to start
Zach
We have an older peterbilt and we always where battling low batteries in it and we changed the starter to a newer design and have not had a low battery in 2 years on it. The starter wasn't bad it still worked but it had a dead short in it and would act like a low batt but it wasn't the batteries. Something to try thanks for reading.
Zack. Lot of Whinning on cleaning the farm !! Haha. Zack cat is Cool.. Thanks on showing the shed built!! I couldn't wait on THAT!!
