7th Generation Farmers-10 year old Rhiannon and 13 year old Onyx wrapping up Harvest 2022 on Johnson Farms. Rhiannon received her first lesson in the Grain Cart and Onyx had his first experience driving the Combine all on his own. From the outside looking in our Big Shiny John Deere equipment might make it look like some big evil corporate farm but in reality most farms are family operated. #WhoDidItBetter #farmkids
13 year old Onyx is officially operating the John Deere Combine solo with his own camera and all! #TheFutureOfFarming

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.

He complains about stuff and claims he doesn’t do it even though he does. We make small squares on the farm and I was tedding hay and he jumps on the tractor and just starts yelling at me. Your kids are so lucky to have a dad like you! This would be my dream come true❤️❤️

@GarrethandPipa Год назад

50 years ago my dad and uncles were always wound tight. grandpa was laid back. It is a right of passage to whip you into shape. In a few years you'll have a problem and he will ask if you have it handled that when you know he trusts you and respects your decisions. The bad part is then your also are responsible for the families success. Unfortunate that human best path to learning is thur pain. When I was 10-12 my uncle jumps up on the tractor and starts reading me the riot act. I said I could learn without him yelling at me. He grabs me by the scruff and tosses me in the field and yells NO YOU CANT. Your gonna hate it now but in 20 years it will mean more to you than you know.

@flybywire5866 Год назад

@@GarrethandPipa "I said I could learn without him yelling at me." You were right. And your uncle was wrong. Teaching can be done decently. There is no need to make learning hell. There is no need to teach the young ones that treating others like dirt is the only way to go.

@GarrethandPipa Год назад

@@deaddoll1361 Well depends what you call earned. If its at least 10 hours a day 24/7 365 until you find them slumped over on the back 9. There are many I have seen ground to dust but love of family and god keeps them moving with an occasional laugh and smile. Fact farming and ranching is a tough life even with fancy tractors. You have to raise kids with toughness of spirit in the very least. You suggest what exactly? that parents who are farmer and ranchers are shitty parents or do you believe they just beneath you? Sure I was raised to be tough but in retrospect when I left the rural life that toughness I humbly submit was the driving force that made me very successful all these years later.

@GarrethandPipa Год назад

@@flybywire5866 Maybe we were both right but for different reasons. He wasn't treating me like dirt. he was treating me like I was a fuckup. I was popping wheelies on the tractor when I should have been ploughing or planting. I really only remember the wheelies. If I were anyone else I would have been run off. When your business is either feast or famine and mostly just enough to get by. You can't have a whole bunch of screwing up. Everyone has to carry the load. Should I have been giving that responsibility? I don't know but in high school when my peers were doing harvest I was playing football. It was my uncle who volunteered so I could play. I hope I haven't presented him as a evil dictator I only remember getting a chewing out twice. He took the heat for me when he really shouldn't have a few times. He treated me like his own son. I expect the grace he gave was because he wanted me to have what responsibility denied him when he was young. My mentors could on occasion be strict but they weren't cruel. They taught me about honor and living up to your word. That working hard and doing a job well can make a man happy even when times are rough.

This was a great segment. I grew up as a farm boy, both row-crop and livestock, and learned from my folks just like you are teaching your children. I pestered them everyday to let me work in the field and finally did at around 11 years old raking hay and hauling ear corn out of the field and helping move equipment from field to field. Even today at nearly 70 years old I still help my brother during planting and harvest, tillage and grain cart. His equipment is very similar to yours so it all looks familiar. Your kids will remember these days for the rest of their lives, I did.

As a therapist who spends all day hearing stories of bad parenting, you have no idea how healing it is to see the results of good parenting. Thank you to both of you for building strong and balanced and loved kids, and reducing my workload in 20 years! I never got to do farm equipment as a kid, but I think I first pushed dirt with a D9 (very large) bulldozer when I was 12, so I approve and slightly envy Rihannon getting to learn to drive at 10! In later years as a youth group instructor and working construction I always enjoyed teaching the kids skills that most people would say they were way too young for, welding to 11 year olds, driving my pickup to 8 year olds, etc, but it activates different parts of their brains and gives them confidence later in life. And whenever I am operating construction equipment and I see the kid watching intently, when possible I invite the parents to bring them over and at least sit in the seat, maybe even move the levers if it's safe, because that's what got me started! Lol But thank you Zach and Becky for bringing some hope and light back into the world, especially after the strip tiller fiasco! ;) lol

Now they get to learn how to pressure wash everything and clean up around the dryer!

This is the best video I have watched in a long time. I felt like I was transported back in time when we had a farm. Thanks for showing us that there is a future in our kids. You kids are wonderful and you have a great Dad.

I've been watching since I was like 7 I'm 16 now and just came across your channel again. They have grown up so fast it's very impressive watching them learn this and do it on their own. Good job guys.

@rustynail2205 Год назад

Mom and Dad have so many reasons to be proud. Absolutely love this video.

As someone who has children, I am happy to see the children working on the farm

@fiat.freakx19 Год назад

@@tony98discovery I didn't work on a farm, but I did have chores when growing up. Mowing the lawn, shovel the snow, cut and chop the wood for the fireplace and inside chores doing dishes and laundry. I've talked to parents that have children and they tell me it's hard for them to even clean their room. Proud of them to want to learn and carry the torch of the family business.

@tony98discovery Год назад

@@fiat.freakx19 Thank you, I think kids should learn to do household chores earlier. If it's farm work, that's great

@jkmarshek Год назад

I think they makes all of us parents immensely proud to see you teach the next generation the family business. It is really awesome to see your kids taking an interest and the patience you have teaching them. Won't be too long and they will both be a regular part of the crew. Give Grandpa a chance to get some much needed time off.

@Samuel_Morton Год назад

One thing i really recommend Zach is to teach them every single function of what’s inside the machine, even if they don’t need to use it, it just makes life easier (speaking from experience) if you know what your looking at and can keep an eye on the machines

@Grasshoppa65 8 месяцев назад

Sir....your children are amazing. You are setting them up to be the doers of society. I applaud you and your wonderful children.

@francischurch4460 Год назад

Becky must have been proud when she was editing this for the channel. Watching her children and you, with your patience teaching and encouraging your children. Excellent parenting from both of you.

@stevekegerreis1962 Год назад

This was an absolutely wonderful video video. Watching your 2 children work the fields with you learning how to operate the equipment correctly Shows that you raise your children very very well Zach

@DuhartCreek Год назад

How beautiful is this.....the kids learning the business. I'm 74 I can relate in teaching my Sons in what they do.

@kells9277 Год назад

Excellent job Zach. It brought tears to my eyes seeing both of your kids doing their thing..

@sharonfantini717 Год назад

That's one PROUD Dad!!!!! Great teacher and wonderful family.....now I am tearing up!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey.

@donkey-fart Год назад

It feels like it wasn't that long ago when we watched Onyx drive the grain cart for the first time and now we get to experience it again with Rhiannon at the helm. Awesome video dude!

@michelealdworth9297 Год назад

Hi there. You are one hell of a father. Giving your kids the guidance and confidence any child needs is by far the best parenting anyone could have. Good job all the way around. And coming from a person who lives in the suburbs ' THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US FROM YOUR FIELDS.' Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.

@jimmyfishburn7894 Год назад

Look and admire all of this people. This is the young ones who will be feeding the world in a short while. With these two I feel secure. Good shape. Guy from East TN thinks you are great.

@codybell4110 Год назад

For a person who's going to school for agriculture right now at 26 years old and got my first chance at running a combine and grain cart I absolutely think this is the coolest thing ever to see I'm sure it's a very proud family moment your great parents Zach an Becky

@p.d.nickthielen6600 Год назад

What an honor to be there to share a very big moment .... Great teaching .... If your's can handle this they will be natural pilots too... Best wishes and thank you for the joy of your harvest adventure

@outinthesticks1035 Год назад

Cool to see the kids out there . Brings back some memories. When I was 13 my dad had a heart attack and my mom and I took the crop off . Lot of hours sitting out there , 830 jd tractor, 96 combine , 1500 acres . I can still remember the frost on the combine pickup, keeping one set of mitts under my butt warming up while I wore one pair . My mom would keep a pair over the defroster of the truck and trade me every round . Her and I were always closer after that fall

@jamespijor4142 Год назад

Tears in my eyes. What a wonderful video. Great job Farming and even better parenting.

@elmton.john.1961. Год назад

This must have been one of the most enjoyable videos Becky has had to edit, very well done Rhiannon and Onyx

@4625boowoody Год назад

Great to see you teaching your daughter about farming. Grew up on a beef cattle farm. Small family business. Had aunts & uncles doing dairy farming. Hauling hay was/is some of the hardest manual labor I've ever done. Back before the modern equipment there is today. So great to see you involving your children. Teaching them where & how our food gets to the store. Keep up the great work!

@gbeard2013 Год назад

I think this has been my favorite video you have ever made. Watching your kids talk to each other on the radio reminds me of how my brother and sis would been the same way. And watching my kids, I see it in them already. Thanks Zach for taking the time to show us things like this. I know teaching them must be stressful and fun, and having to try and get the parts for youtube just multiplies that, but what a great job man. Love it.

@xylothan Год назад

The crappy part of this video was that I could only like it once instead of like 30 times. The smiles on both of them while they were doing this was absolutely amazing.

@suechambers5123 Год назад

What a great video. Loved the interaction between the kids. They will be the next generation of Johnson family farmers. Zack, you are a good dad...so patient.

@lynnstallbaumer897 Год назад

Zack you need to love this time in your life. They grow up so fast and you grow old so fast seems only days ago when my kids were that age. Now they are grown. Cherish every moment.

@lewissenior8734 11 месяцев назад

Thats got to be one of the best dad memories they will have

@markreetz1001 Год назад

That was one of your best videos!! The kids talked over the radio like they do when they're together! It's amazing how grown up they seem even though they're still young! Onyx seemed really stressed bringing the combine up to the grain cart...snacking on a bag of potato chips! Great stuff Becky & Zach!!

@spider15hl Год назад

Zach and Becky, you two have to be sooo proud of yourselves with the work ethic you've instilled in your kids. This was an amazing video seeing them work together. Zach I know your father has to be proud as hell seeing this. Three generations working on the farm. I would shed a tear. Can't wait for a few more years down the road when Isla gets to do this!!!!

@MikhaelStants Год назад

Zack you are just beaming with your kids helping out on the farm. Definitely a proud Dad moment for you. Thank you for sharing these moments with us!

@cntryme Год назад

I'm glad that ppl are teaching kids to work instead of sitting and playing Nintendo all day😂😂 I was raised on a farm and I know and love the importance of work. I have come to love it so much that during vacations and trips I get bored and want to go home and get my hands dirty and work. Keep being a great dad and I can tell that your kids love and respect you❤

@alexanderflippin3721 Год назад

That's amazing! I'm sure at some point you were fighting back tears of happiness.

@oldsloane Год назад

I am now 80 years old and I have been away from the farm for over 60 years and I still get nostalgic watching the harvest, that was some of the happiest times of my life working with my Dad and learning to drive the old International grain truck when I was about 12 years old.

@shirleycourtney9787 Год назад

Being able to train your kids to take over is so important. You're doing a GREAT job!

@Notsofatamerican Год назад

Takes me way back. As a kid on the farm I operated a Hanomag tractor on school holidays. Also 10 years old I worked from dawn till dusk. Best times of my life.

@RR-bh8vd Год назад

Zach, they aren't even my kids but I am so proud of both of them. I can't even imagine how proud you and Becky are of those two. Thank you for sharing the milestones that you and your family accomplish. There is hope that our great country will be in good hands in the future. Thank you for all you do.

@ratdog3055 Год назад

As my Dad used to say; "Teach them young, teach them right"! You have every reason to be proud of your children!

@stuarttitmus5533 Год назад

I used to help the farmer when I was 7 years old. Driving the tractor while he was pulling the hose out ready to water the fields. Great times.

@joewoodrum5160 Год назад

I was raised on the farm, was driving tractors before I was 11 years old. I learned a LOT about work ethic and responsibility. You are doing a great job with those kids, God Bless you and your family.

@HammerPowered Год назад

I think it's awesome that you had the kids out there to finish it off. Teaching them early, that's for sure. Onyx looks like he's got that combine thing down pat and Rhiannon did a great job with her first shot in the grain cart.

@nickv2707 Год назад

Zach you are an awesome Dad! Teaching them young. They will remember this for the rest of their lives.

@jerrymccollough-yk5gs 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your experience with your children and the world. People don't understand the sooner you start teaching them the better. They learn so much faster and they don't think they know everything. Keep it up the great work

@arthenry498 Год назад

That is THE best feel good video I have EVER seen. Congratulations Rhiannon!! YOU are doing great!! I am proud to see you and Onyx doing so well. No pressure but, the future of this country and actually the world depends on kids like you. And watching you makes me feel we have a great future. I truly love your confidence and ability. Zack, you and Becky are totally justified to do some back slapping here. Your children are definitely fantastic!! I thank you for all you two have done for and with them. It is beautiful.. Be proud. Your whole family has earned it.. Love and blessings to all. Even dog/cat!!
