    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.

    Welcome to the Imperial Valley where farming happens all 12 months. Master Pipe Layer Randy there are about 500,000 tiled acres that moves about a million acre feet of salty waste water per year to the Salton Sea. Each acre of farm ground is allowed 5.5 acre feet of water per year.

    In California, strawberries are cultivated like you were discussing. The plants are started in one area and shipped to another with a better climate to mature and be harvested. Then the mature plants are torn out and it all starts over again. A big change from when a plant produced for five or six years before being replaced.

    I was the John Deere Territory Manager and later the Division Sales Manager in the Yuma and Imperial Valley a number of years back. . The canal from the Colorado River in Yuma, Arizona is called the All American Canal and was built to bring water into the Imperial Valley. It's their only water sourse. It was built in 1928 to 1930's as part of the Hoover Dam project. I believe 5 states have an agreement to use the water from the Colorado River. (this agreement provides water to Phoenix as well) This replaced the Alamo Canal which ran in Mexico. It's the longest canal I believe in the world but it's also the deadlest. Over 500 people have drowned since it was completed. Through farming in the Imperial Valley the run off from irrigation farming flows into the Salton Sea. Because of this, it gets bigger every year because there's no place for the water to go.

    • @ke6gwf
      @ke6gwf Před 2 lety

      You are correct up until the last sentence, and it was accurate when you were out there, but around 1999 the farmers changed how they managed water and stopped letting large amounts of water run off into the Salton Sea, and with the current more efficient water usage the water level is steadily decreasing as it evaporates.

    • @ke6gwf
      @ke6gwf Před 2 lety

      Also of interest, the Salton Sea is on top of the San Andreas fault.
      Through history, sometimes the Colorado River would flow into the Salton Sink, and sometimes it would flow into the Gulf of California (behind Baja California)
      It's the Colorado delta that actually cuts the Salton Sink off from the ocean in the Gulf of California, and sometimes it flows one way and sometimes the other way. It has been flowing into the gulf of California since the 1500's.
      The Gulf of California would reach all the way up to Indio if not for the Colorado River Delta cutting it off.
      The lake surface is 236 feet below sea level, and the lake is about 43 feet deep at the deepest point.
      The deepest point is only about 5 feet higher than the lowest point in Death Valley.

    Crazy how farmers visit farms on their holidays, in the 80's after harvest was done i went to Australia just to see farms. one days i seen a 1680 case ih harvesting wheat, he had 2 full trucks and was going to fill up the hopper, i stopped and asked him if he wanted some free help, yea sure u can unload the trucks, i go jump in the trucks, the left side of the trucks, then noticed hey it backwards down here, everything is on the right side . hell of a time shifting gears with my left hand. it was cooking hot 44c that day, i seen a stream and stopped and took my shoes off and went to cool off, 5 minutes later the farmer is racing across the field towards me, get out of there, there are crocks in there. Wild and crazy farming down under.
