    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.

    When a politician doesn’t want to be recorded, there’s a reason. Lot’s of people talk about being transparent, but they don’t really want to be that open. Knowing how MN politics lean, they have an agenda or narrative they want push, whether you like it or not! Keep it politics free!

Lately a communist movance in Canada has been at work to try and seize farm land and curb access to pesticides and fertilizers ... Electricians, teachers and accountants vote for these choices ... Choices that do NOT affect their way of life . Trudeau is a UN puppet and communist love bug . We may be "we are the world and love each other" but ... Farming is not being a civil servants or electrician . Politics do affect farmers directly when voters impose changes to our field of work .

      The facts are facts. Iowa taxpayers paid for a fertilizer plant to keep prices competitive. The fantastic people at Koch Industries is trying to buy the plant for $3.6 billion. Of course if they are successful they absorb a competitor and the farmers fertilizer costs will go even higher. So their only hope is that the president the Millennial Farmer despises and let’s his kid wear a shirt degrading will recommend it is a violation of anti trust laws and the courts will block the sale. That won’t happen if Trump is elected. So yeah it kinda pisses me off when your Dad wears a shirt asking for support but you trash the people that can help and are actually being supportive.
