Farm Community Comes Together to help out one of our own. 60 years ago our neighbor Norm was there to help finish our harvest when my grandpa fell ill with cancer. 60 years later our community was able to return the favor. Highlight of my career, it's just what farming communities do. #payitforward

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.

@randyg2367 4 года назад

I recall back in the mid-50’s, a neighbor got sick and about 30 or 40 neighbors, including my dad, got together to plow his wheat stubble for summer fallow. They brought what they had, 3 to 5 bottom plows with levers and rope trips, and tractors with no cabs and no hydraulics. The ladies got together and fixed dinner (lunch). Fast forward 20 or so years, and I had taken a leave from my career to help my dad, who was ill. A neighbor was very ill and 2 neighbors organized the area to help. This time it was disking the wheat stubble for summer fallow. The appointed day came and everyone was supposed to be there at 8am. This was an extremely flat area and tractors and discs were coming from every point of the compass. It was quite a sight. They again brought what they had, old and new, small and four- wheel drive, with discs from 16’ to 50’. There were 52 tractors. As they arrived, the organizers put three into a field, and by noon, over 1500 acres had been done. The ladies had fixed dinner, and the farmer’s family had a bulk truck come out and fueled everyone while we were eating. One of the organizer’s teenage sons had been killed in a car wreck a week earlier, and everybody felt so good it was decided to go and do his. Another 1000 acres. I went back to my career (not in agriculture, unfortunately) and achieved a modicum of success, kudos and recognition, but that one day over 40 years ago is still one of the best memories of my life.

I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, we had a neighbors house burn down. Everyone in the valley got together helped put out the fire. Afterwards everyone came together and built a new log cabin for the family bye the end of the day. It was a awesome experience, something I’ll remember the rest of my life. Good job guys. P.s.I’m a big fan of your show. Been watching for a couple of months now love it. Keep up the good work.

100%, every kid should spend a summer on a working farm. Teach them about responsibility. Oh, don’t want to wake up on time when the alarm goes off? Then something doesn’t get fed all day, and it’s your fault. I think our country, especially right now, would be much better off.

When I still worked in the collision repair shop there was a guy across town that the owner raced against and while they were friends they weren't like best friends or anything like that, one day he had a stroke and as a result was unable to work for for a few months. We picked up all his jobs and did all the work and all the money for the jobs too. He was a one man band as far as his shop was concerned so when we were down there working we also surprised him and cleaned/organized years of clutter that he had just been letting build up and essentially turned a completely new shop over to him after those 3 or 4 months when he was finally able to get back to work.

I remember when I was a little boy one of my daddy best friend was kill at work just a few feet from my daddy. The Saturday after his funeral my daddy and some other guys from work went out and cut wood for his widow so her and her young son would have wood to heat their house for the next few years. Daddy said when everyone got there with the wood they cut that day she probably had enough wood for 5 years. That is the way it should be people taking care of those in need. When I first became disabled people help us out before got my disability check started. God bless all of you for taking care of her need.

I was born in central Wisconsin, my father talks about farmers coming together during the hard times. Unfortunately we are living in northern Illinois now running some land and the farmers here will would rather buy ur land then help out one afternoon. Myself being a young farmer and listening to all kinds of farmers all over the United States makes me feel like we have landed in the wrong place. My father talked about the old farm in Wisconsin more than the farm were running in northern Illinois. Breaks my heart for him, at this day an age we all should be working together no matter what. Thanks Millennial Farmer for your videos and your millennial wisdom.

Jake John I think that’s just a northern Illinois mindset. You take a drive a couple hours south into central and southern Illinois and most families would bend over backward to help a neighbor.
