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 have a 7 year old nephew. He has been pretty decent driving the ATV and my wife's tractor for about he year. He has not figured out the two hand controls for the ZTR mower or skid steer. With the Chinese Virus going around, he does not come over very often for lessons. Kids are highly motivated to learn how to operate things that go VROOM or BOOM.

@jacobanderson1891 4 года назад

Figured I have a little bit of advice for a flagpole. My dad has a-I believe it’s a-hundred foot antenna setup on our shed. He’s got a friend that built a tower out of steel that folds down with a ratchet. Then he has some pipe in the tower that extends out of the tower and up several more feet. Then of course there’s the antenna itself strapped to the pipe. It does bend, but maybe with a few more reinforcements, it’d be fine. Might not exactly work for you, but maybe you’ve got the capabilities to build/have the rig built for a flag. You wouldn’t even need the ratchet because obviously you wanna leave it up constantly. Then just shine a light on it at night. Hope that helps or at least sparks some other ideas!

@brettcolburn8871 4 года назад

Buckets and boxes full of random stuff...been fighting that with my dad since I came back to farm. He's the king of that stuff and has gotten to the point he has no clue what's in them anymore and can never find what he's looking for so he goes and buys new. I've spent the last two weeks cleaning out our old shop and threw away 25+ years of that stuff. I figure if it sits for over 20 years and nobody touches it then we don't need it anymore.

@claudewilliams883 4 года назад

I build wooden flags that could be mounted on the hand rail on the tower and have a light also mounted on the hand rail shinning on the flag! They can be made in any size you would like to have.

@MichaelJones1527 4 года назад

Again please send this video to Mike Bloomberg so he will realize that farming is just a few more things than digging a hole putting in a seed and covering it up. He would have been lost about half way through the video. Keep up the good work and keep feeding America. I'll keep taking the products to market. Love the videos and everyone should see why the American Farmer and Trucker are keeping the country feed today. Thank you for your contribution.

I love it that you are letting your son getting good at equipment operation at such a early age, my father gave me my head at a very early age as well and I look back with great fondness that he trusted me to run everything on the farm and it gave me a big edge ahead of a lot of other boys my age that didn’t get that chance!!!! Love your videos, they just go by so quick, I could watch them for hours!!! God Bless you Zach and your wonderful family, you are a very special man!!!!!

@johnthompson1754 3 года назад

Zack, about your request for ideas to install a flag pole on your tower. I can think of two possible ways to raise the flag. 1st) There are a number of flag pole companies who make kits (Alum or Fiberglass). Decide on the size of the flag you will want to have. The flag size drives the pole needs. The pole companies have all of the information you will need. 2nd) look for light poles that hav been taken down do to construction of they are no longer needed. Try a few sights to get a good deal. Most of the light poles are based mounted. You could extend a pipe below the walking grate and attach it a few feet below the grate to counteract the moment arm from the flag. Also thing about 3 guide wires to reinforce the pole. You also may want to look into adding an antenna to the top of the pole to improve your communication ability around the farm.

We use a camera and an iPad to load trucks out of the leg. The camera is mounted next to the load out spout. It puts off its own WiFi signal so you can connect with an iPad or smartphone. You should definitely look into it! No getting in and out to reposition the truck or the cart.

@popquizzz 4 года назад

Zach what you should do for the flag thing is check with the Cell tower provider in the area. 5G is going in and it seems your area would be prime for a tower on top of there. It pays you revenue and maybe you can get them to help with a flag tower too.

@maxilos1987 4 года назад

about the Flag, depending on size could try sourcing a 2nd hand dingy mast or similar they will hold pretty large fabrics no problem

@waterbug85 3 года назад

I like that idea of a dingy mast. It would have pulleys and rope for raising and lowering the flag. The tricky part is how to mount it. Need a minimum of two lights, but ideally four lights. One on each corner, up high like that, that would be awesome. They could see that at night from one mile away hwy.

@deandanielson8074 4 года назад

Hi Zach, the weather is "a changing!! " Looks like the entire Johnson clan is anxious and ready for Spring. I know I am. Seeing the shop and your storage makes me think your have more space inside than the John Deere dealers had when I was growing up and spending every summer on the farm in Kittson County. Love that John Deere green! It also looks like your growing your farm help of the future and ensuring it's a family farm. Thanks!!! - Dean from Edina

@joncam620 4 года назад

when i was around six years old i drove our skid steer for the first time and after 2minutes i hit the door of our car, but now 15years later i drive quiet well and we still have the car :)

@russ7743 4 года назад

when lighting flags you need 3 light sources set lower in a triangle set out around the base of your flag pole. you also need to think about the focal length of the lights optic, so the light goes on the flag rather than send beams up into the sky. Also think about the lights colour temperature. Say your lights are LED, with a three colour white light you can mix the right temperature which will make the flag really pop. hope this helps

@BrianGLee-bc7hj 4 года назад

@aaronbasel8134 4 года назад

Zach. An idea for your flag on your grain leg... Put a solar flag spot light. Find them at like say Menards or any where by you that sells lawn and garden stuff or flags and or poles. We used an old flag pole cut it to length and u-botled it to a corner of the plat form. Angle iron is used for our railings, so it worked out great. And the light we made a holder as well. Work and looks amazing. People in the county talk about it offten. Also a another neighbor puts up a star that lights up. Usually around Christmas but has a tendency of leaving it up for a while. it's about 6ft by 6ft light up star. Looks awesome too!

Zac you are in Wind country. The wind loading from the flag is of concern Don't go Perkins size. You can cobble up a mast attached to the handrails and tied lower to the structure. I will find a picture of Wireless hop we did. The light is easy. Drag a piece of romax up the tower. Put a LED light pointing at the flag. Photocell so it is off during the day hours. This advice and $3 will get you a Buch Latte at the local bar in about three months.

@DonVDBorgh 4 года назад

To help save your fingers and hands from scraping on that long bolt, get a piece of hose that fits snuggly over the threads, cut to length and then place over the top. If tight, can put a drip or two of oill on it so will slip over and down more easy. Hope for good season. We had the "ripper" out yesterday (Apr 4) for some test runs, ended up doing the whole field. 😉

Go to the local electrical supply store and grab a piece of 1 inch rigid metallic conduit(RMC) and weld a couple sleeves on the tower(one with a bottom plate), slide the RMC in the sleeves, attach flag to RMC. An Idea anyway. Dont forget about the rollup door remote under the skid steer floorboard.
