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.

Zach, Are you going to go to Bristol and watch the HTF guys? I see they've just installed a higher HP engine in the super late model. I'd like to see them make the feature again, and a top 5 would be cool!

I worked as a tractor salesman for 10 years. One of the biggest problems in the industry was lack of good / knowledgeable mechanics. Well done to Caleb and Zeth your knowledge is outstanding. It’s actually guys like you who keep the customers returning to the dealership to reinvest and help the sales guys hugely
I am very impressed with Caleb and his knowledge and skill in servicing this complex piece of machinery. A pleasure to see someone so knowledgeable in action.

Love his succinct eloquence; "oddly specific". Speaks volumes.
I aspire to have 10% of Caleb’s planter knowledge about anything. He’s really impressive.
Those Sloan techs definitely know what they are doing. This was a very interesting video. I hope your pickup is easily fixed. My neighbors new Chevy pickup was hauled away yesterday because it’s totally dead and won’t even turn over.

Now that's the way to get the planter and tractor ready for spring planting, having two professionals checking over your equipment.

It is amazing to see the knowledge of Zeth and Caleb working on your machine. And as always thanks for the content. Hope your throat feels better.🙂

@ Millennial Farmer Also one more question what genre of music do you listen to and if so, who is the all time great singer/ songwriter.
It’s great that the techs are trying to get young people interested in that end of ag. My hat is off to you.
I don't remember much about your niece and her story, but I remember you guys are amazing. Much love from Wisconsin
You changed your ringtone. Now I won't think my phone is always ringing.
It's really cool watching those guys work and listening to their knowledge as they go. I imagine they've done enough of those machines that they've pretty much seen it all. I'd like to thank them for allowing themselves to be filmed because I love learning new things even if I'll never use that knowledge.
I wouldn't be too surprised if tractors start to get the Chevy Treatment in the future, "user proofing" it by removing serviceability and making things "lifetime sealed" units "so the untrained don't mess it up" but really just makes even the littlest things a major hassel to deal with
Anyone else notice Caleb doesn’t move his lips when he talks. His facial decoration covers it all. Neat trick. Zac is that the look you are going for and just haven’t got there yet?
You should tell Larson farms about that polly wheel for their 9rx as they are having to replace them
Look at that ram towing that chevy
I own an 80k sq ft body shop in MA , my Bernese Mountain dogs comes every day , I have 3 males lol ... I love the dogs , they just add to the show ... Now the Tobster and Ray are on Chets show ....Just love it :) :) :) :) :)
at the beginning with the dog it laughed my heart out
Great stuff you bringing in help to go through your seeding rig. Hope the planter doesn’t break your heart like last year. Great vids and you certainly shud be on a simply safe commercial🤣
Excellent service techs!! Using the best will definitely pay off in the long run!!
Thanks for sharing buddy praying for everyone a safe spring plant god bless everyone
You have everyone doing everything. Your day is done! I love it!
Those guys impressed me with their knowledge and professional work ethic. A friend of mine reviewed these videos and has a much better understanding of his planter that his dealer didn't even know
Ram pulling a Chevy! kind of like a Case pulling Deere?
When your phone rang I started looking for my phone... so, yeah I'm gonna need you to change your ringtone.
I love my RAM Laramie. That lifetime Mo Par warranty is great !
The weather there looks fantastic. Glad I'm in Australia.
I like the technical side of heavy equipment and farm equipment and the farming side ,
I found that really interesting. Really cool looking at the internals of the corn planter. It's amazing how much the Deere techs know. Everything gets such a good look over. They pick up on the small things that you might otherwise miss.
I just love seeing a DODGE pulling a Chevy!😂🤣
“Pumped out of the Chinese metal factory on the wrong day” Classic
It amazes me how with it these techs are when needed. Caleb knows his sheet. If I were a young man that apprentice program would be for me. Long gone in my life. It's hell to find something you would love to do but time has passed you by. What more could you ask for than to work with and around folks like Zach?

Sloan implement is a good company.
Zach, there are after market kits that install a transmission dip on most of the GM and Ford 8 and 10 speed automatic transmissions. It's one of the top ten stupid ideas that has occurred in automotive design. Now GM needs to figure out how to make a beefy tie rod end for their pickup trucks.

@@bachtomin213 One thing you have to remember with the Pinto and Vega is that when they first came to market, sold for less than $1700 for a base model. The Datsun's and Toyota's of the same era had the similar problems on rear-end collisions, but not that many cars were sold. As for the GM trucks with fuel tanks outside the frame rails, the Dateline show rigged the test to cause the fire. There are YT video's showing how they were rigged, and numerous articles on the settlement they paid to GM. Mount the tank on the inside of the frame, and you get the drive shaft hitting the tank when it loses a U-joint. Years before the tank placement on the frame on pickup trucks, gas tanks were mounted behind the seat. I've owned a few 1950's-60's trucks and they all had a smell of gas in hot weather.

It's part of "sealed for life" components. To 'reduce' the environmental impact. It's not GM, it's most brands internationally too.

@@agentcrm The majority of articles written about the omission of the transmission dip stick have nothing to do with environmental reason, but warranty repairs. There are articles indicating that people were installing the incorrect fluid type. Well if they were refilling a transmission that was low on fluid, unless there is a visible fluid leak, the transmission must be getting extremely hot to boil the fluid away. Even sealed for life transmissions have a venting system on them. Why do rear axles still have a fill plug?
Caleb could be a ventriloquist. Listen to him talk during video and never seen his lips move once. Great video.
Thanks for another great video. It was very interesting with you and ZK and Caleb. Zach, sorry you are not feeling well. Hope your throat gets better. Hang in there. Trust they got your gas leak fixed from your LP tank. What was it????? Your pickup. Not having the dipstick tube is a problem with Chevy pickups. Like your saying about dipstick engineers. Good one Zach. Trust they got it fixed. You are still blowing snow. Wow. You got a lot. We have more coming in Iowa tomorrow. My compliments to you Zach for having Zeth and Caleb come in. Zeth’s words about Sloan John Deere is interesting. Did not realize they were that big. Really interested they have a apprentice program for interested people. That is great. Really interesting with Zeth going over the tractor. He really gives them a great look over and items you do not always think to look at. ZK is extremely good at this and pays to have your equipment looked over before heavy spring work. Caleb is really sharp on the high speed planter. Need that good look over before using. Helps eliminate spring break downs. Pays in the long run to have Caleb come and make sure planter is ready for spring. ZK and Caleb ‘s channel is worth the time to watch on issues that affect your operation. Zach, some quick info about the race event you are going too??? National event I am guessing. Appreciate what you can give us. All for now. Sorry I got long winded but all is sure interesting. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Great awesome video zach , zeth and caleb, caleb knows his tech on those complicated planters
Zach, the SimpliSafe voiceovers from the dogs never cease to make me bust a gut!!! Also, Zeth has an uncanny resemblance to Chris Elliott reincarnated as an offensive tackle. LOL!!!!! Great video, as always!
Thanks
Preventative maintenance I like it
I thought you were going to say, you were home alone & it was going to be nice & quiet.
Definitely seems like a bad day! Y'all stay safe up there! Definitely love your videos!!!
Hats off to you
Zach awesome video as always. Zeth is amazing he knows his stuff. I love his channel.Great information. Zach get feeling better. Definitely catchya at the next one. Stay safe!!
Remember growing up there was a Sloan Oliver dealer in St. Lucas Iowa
Good evening from Olympia Greece. On a Viking ocean cruise headed to Athens Greece for 4 days then back to Coarsegold California.
Crazy I had the same issue on my 16’ 1 ton Duramax. 4 leaks in less than 30,000 miles, leaked the most when it sat outside during cold weather. Left oil everywhere it sat when it was -10 or colder.
Couple of real good techs there, you can tell they know their machines. Take care of yourself Zach.
Interesting stuff Linda like the tech aspect of farming
So educational, and So intriguing..
Impressive equipment, people, skills etc.
Glad to see you post a little more. Been missing your videos
Old mate wasn't loving dog kisses 🤣
You are the only one on the Internet that can make a commercial that's funny as hell and I'll keep watching it. I just pissed my pants laughing at the comment about your niece😂
I've replaced 3 of those draft tube hoses for the vacuums, in the field... got it down to a 20 minute swap. Just waiting for the last one to go now lol
Love the vids man. Keep up the good work.
The dawgs are loving that weather!
God-bless you no matter what the farmer
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put out.
This stuff is really important to keep up on it.
Good one Zach enjoyed that . Really interesting.
Caleb sure has a career as a ventriloquist, if he gets fed up with muckanicking ; ) Enjoying the vids over here in the UK.
Only Zack could make Snow Farming interesting. :P I found ZK MasterTech a few months ago and started watching their channel as well. I'm so glad you guys did some content together and I hope to see them back on the channel again some day. :D
Get well
Good video see you on the next video
That goat is so puffy you can't even see his mouth move when he talks im not a hater im impressed
20:44 , That is the craziest sounding starter :)
Love the knowledge of the techs and great inside look to the equipment.Zach the strings on the new hoodie are still there,must have lost your knife..
You'll have to have them back in the fall to get the fertilizer system bugs worked out.
I used to work on those large LP tanks. Those valves always seem to leak when it gets really cold!! We'd crank them open (or closed) all the way and use pliers to help seat the valve seat. Then come back during the summer and pump the tank out, burn off the vapor then replace the valve seals or replace the valve... Nothing like burning off a 30,000 gallon tank!!! Sounds like a jet taking off ;-)
FYI - Back in the ‘60’s, Weakly & Sloan, Havana, IL, ( Sloan’s predecessor) was one of the largest combine dealers in the Midwest. Big competition for other Deere dealers in Illinois. And, the brush belt is a big improvement over the chain drop units in the 495A planter in the ‘60’s.
Good afternoon and thumbs UP !
I had a 2010 Ford, same issue, no dipstick. Luckily my 2014 doesnt have that same issue. I hope they fixed it across the board, but will see with the next one...
It wouldn’t be millennial farmer without the dogs
Great vídeo.
Found this video very interesting with Sloan Tech. Hope you get better and that sickness is a lagging symptom of the Covid.👍
“I drain that constantly.” Somehow I don’t believe you, but that’s just me.
This was refreshing to see. Working on equipment can be relaxing IF you know what you're doing. Is your shop equipped with a bathroom? I notice you are good at feeding your guests, just curious if they hop on 1 leg or if "facilities" are also part of the deal 😉
I like the list of rock bands they listed. All are great bands.
Put a H bypass in the pickup’s tranny cooler lines. Plumbing fittings. Did that in Fairbanks AK. When it gets so cold, the trans fluid gels up a bit and can’t get through the cooler. The bypass will keep everything from puking overboard until it warms up.
