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.

The fact that you were turning in for the night and your son decided to keep working on his own shows the work ethic you’ve taught that boy. Proud dad moment, I’d say.

This is actually an opportunity for J&M. If it’s never been done in the field before this will be a chance to write a repair plan for this issue and it also gives them a manufacturing opportunity to increase reliability. Yes it’s inconvenient at the time but the good that can come from it may prevent it from happening again on future carts.

@brentmedders 6 месяцев назад

An opportunity to show they stand behind their product with service too.

@richardlug6139 6 месяцев назад

Prevent it from happening again? Use better lock nuts or redesign the connection. My guess though is the nut was not tighten at the factory, fell off and the bolt finally worked itself out.

@joescheller6680 6 месяцев назад

@MrSeanG-of1zc 6 месяцев назад

There’s kids all over this area running everything. I haul silage, corn and sugar beets and there’s a 12 year old running a dozer in the silage pile and giving orders to grown men. It’s the way it is in these parts. I’m not from here, only come for 3 months a year and was shocked the first time I saw a kid in a big machine. They learn young and take over the operation as they grow. Zack is still a young man but he probably has 30 years experience under his belt.

Amazing and a bit lucky that the bar bent and the wood cracked instead of something else crucial and expensive on the cart breaking. I think part of the problem is that you didn't curse loudly enough or long enough. In my experience cursing always seemed to help. It's tough to know when to give up on the pulling, pushing and hammering and get the wrenches out, but I think that removing the gearbox and pulling the flighting would have been faster in the end. At least it would have given you room to get a torch or welder on the connection.
