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.

@oldtimefarmboy617 6 месяцев назад

Yes they can. But they are awfully damn expensive. That is why you always have to pay attention to everything all the time so you can catch things like that while they are small and easily dealt with. And maintaining that level of concentration is what makes harvesting so tiring.

@oldtimefarmboy617 6 месяцев назад

@@Jan_372 "@oldtimefarmboy617 the replacement is only expensive when you're underinsured" That sort of insurance is expensive and the average farmer works off small margins to make a living. And insurance generally does not pay the replacement cost of equipment and insurance policies that do are very expensive to maintain. And then there is the fact that making claims usually (not always) causes an increase in your premiums. Anyway you look at it, he would still be paying a big chunk of change to replace that combine and combines today are very expensive. $700,000 to $900,000 depending on what you have it equipped with and that does not include the cost of the header.

Word of advice when it comes to combine fires. Call the fire dept as soon as it is noticed before taking action yourself. If you get it out before they arrive, they won't be mad. We would rather be told we aren't needed than have a more developed fire to deal with, because you waited. We have had at least a dozen combines burn up this month in our county alone, mostly because the farmers waited to call until after they couldn't get it out.

@teakdougyfresh9528 6 месяцев назад

When ur house starts on fire do u call the fire department first or do u put it out first. That machine is the single most important tool on the farm.

@tmlf1239 6 месяцев назад

A bit of a tricky one. On the one hand, it's critical to have all the help you can get to put out fires and most importantly keep the field from catching on fire and burning out of control. On the other hand if the fire is that bad on the combine, it's better to let it burn to the ground and take insurance. Nothing worse than a combine that was damaged by fire and repaired. It will never be right. Local fire chief said with tongue somewhat in cheek that you should wait until the combine is going to be a write-off to call in the fire department. Nearly every farm here has a water truck in the field and a disc or pro-till sitting at the edge of the field ready to go.

@Jeff-yu9vf 6 месяцев назад

Highly recommend having a couple simple 2.5 gallon water extinguishers on the equipment during harvest, they work much better than dry Chem does on dry vegetation especially when it’s being ignited by something hot like a bearing because the water cools it down from reigniting like the problem dad was having, and they’re easily recharged with some water and an air Chuck.

@jmalone2758 6 месяцев назад

Those sporty new grain carts Larson Farms are using this year have nice big water tanks on them to assist in combine fires. Maybe look into that when you have a min. Remember, having something to provide a cooling affect will ensure the fire not only goes out but, stays out. This is why so many folks scratch their heads when using dry powder fire extinguishers and they get re-flashes. Powder temporarily removes the oxygen, not the heat

@alexmikhael5061 6 месяцев назад

Little tip mount your extinguishers sideways cause when they are straight up the dry chemical packs down and sometimes will not go off when you need it cause it clogs. I use to service them after high school for a few years and it happens in boats and vehicles a lot getting packed down.

Hey Zach, i don't know if someone has said this yet, but you should carry both the chemical and a water fire extinguisher. What i have learned from baling is that water extinguishers put out the fire and cool the area. Had a bearing go and start a fire hit it with the water and kept spraying it with in 5 minutes of the fire starting i had the bearing off and on the phone with deere making sure they have on for me.

"Pre Plan." Once a volunteer back in the day, after returning from an instructional drill that included a film emphasizing preparedness by pre planning. I got up with our Dept Chief to question what our's was. His response was "We move everything on an alarm. And call for mutual aid (we call everybody), at first survey if it looks like it could get out of hand." The point being it's better to have it there than need it and not have it there while you're Standing around waiting for something needed to arrive. (Especially if there's a crowd of onlookers). Besides you can always turn'em around if not needed." Call in a fire! Don't Wait! Hope ya get through through the cold. Thanks for sharing. Blessings 🇺🇸👍😎

Rubber tires or tracks work really good to beat extinguisher against, and if you wait till fire day you will have 21/2 quarts of adrenaline in you to help beat the powder loose also. The vibration packs the powder in the bottom of extinguisher over time, you should be able to feel the powder move around inside the canister if they are in proper working order. This problem is very common on construction equipment.

We are a farmer family of Argentina, and had a fire in a combine some years ago. We could find 5 o 6 ABC fire extinguishers, but al least 3 or 4 didn't work. After that, we learnt that ABC powder extinguisher has been compacted by the vibrations of the machine and trucks that were in the field. We have learnt that water extinguishers are the most appropriate for harvester fires; another detail, ABC powder causes corrosion between the paint and iron because we painted the corn header 3 times ago and paint fails again and again.
