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.

@@MultiTurbospeed I had a video of a JD combine getting unstuck saved to a playlist on RU-vid, in the end to get it out of the mud, they had to call a Deere dealership who came out with a 9600 to add to the other 2 9600s which finally pulled the combine out of the mud. Unfortunately the video was marked as private several years ago and I can't call it up any more.

Came here to say exactly this. Great that he stopped, called dad, and owned up to what’s happened, not that it was his fault at all. Takes a lot of guts to do that. Heck I know a lot of grown men who wouldn’t do that. And would have tried to get out of it themselves and made it a heck of a lot worse.

I really think Onyx has a good head on his shoulders and he’ll go far in life whether it’s in farming or whatever he decides to do also I feel he has a couple of the best role models a kid could have his dad and grandpa are a couple very knowledgeable guys and there demeanor’s are awesome for teaching it seems like they’re pretty even keeled and are willing to help if you need it !! I love this channel and what an awesome family!!

@canuckyank82 Год назад

When I was a bit older than Onyx I got the tractor stuck leaving a field. I forgot to unhitch the 50 foot or so of harrows. I backed up and bent the main pole beam like a rainbow. Sunk the tractor to the oil pan.y dad was so angry that I ruined his Harrods. A few weeks later I figured it out. If the tractor fan bend the pole, it can straighten the pole. I put a little tractor 44M right on the pole. Then I hooked onto the far end with the Gen Ii tractor and stretched that pole back out. I was only a kid and dad was off selling for John Deere. He was thrilled I figured it out. Those Harrods always worked great and I learned my lesson about unhitching.

It is incredible how mature Onyx is when dealing with expensive farm equipment, better safe than sorry! He really is like his dad, and already is a farmhand they can not do without. Very well done Onyx, you should be proud of yourself!!! (I'll bet you ten bucks that your mom, dad and grandfather are!) Only a very small amount of people are able to admit not having the experience, and only a fraction of those will actually do so! This kid is already far more reliable than most machine operators.

I still remember a lesson from over 50 years ago. I got our loader tractor stuck. 2wd and front wheel in a small hole and rear wheel on a slippery tree root. I tried for a while and gave up. Walked a long way back to the shed to get help. Dad grabbed the other tractor and a chain and we headed out to pull me out. He jumped on the stuck loader tractor, dropped the loader on the deck and with the right technique he backed it out. Just last summer I was driving the grain truck and got it stuck. I was empty and tandem drives don't lock up and I spun out. I put the hoist right up to transfer some weight from the front axle and I managed to rock it out. A nice teaching moment for Onyx!

Thanks for another enjoyable video. Congratulations on finishing your planting for 2022. Was most certainly a test of patience between the weather and the planter not wanting to work. But you kept at it and done. Onyx did the right thing by calling for help and not trying to backup and bending something. You and your dad were really good with him about the situation, thanks for doing that. Onyx, you did the right thing all the way around. Good going onyx. Brings back memories. Can remember when I got the tractor and row cultivator stuck. Walked him and afraid to tell dad. Talking about the cultivator they bolted on the tractor way back when-ha. Now time to hit spraying. Between you and your dad should be able to keep it rolling. Busy time on the farm. Seems strange not having your cold storage building in the picture. Hope they can rebuild for you relatively soon. Also hoping your bin storage is not too much out of service for the coming crop year. About it for now I guess. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. Becky thanks for editing. Onyx you did good with the tractor and roller. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
