FINALLY Our FIRST Day of Planting Corn! - Spring 22

The planter is ready and so is our dirt! There are always lots of kinks and bugs to work out of the planter on day 1. I don't expect this year to be any different.

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 first camera is a little bit clearer imagewise. Thanks for letting us join in your and your familys adventure.

[calebbeals]

So glad to see that after all the disaster you were finally able to get in the field

[lesterbainer]

Camera 1 was crystal clear. Glad to see things are getting “slightly” back to normal. Prayers for better days!!
Have fun planning the new shed!

[garycountryman]

Good to see you finally get in the field. Thanks to all the Johnson family for dragging me along.

[danielgant]

One thing this site has done is to make people like me respect and appreciate the farmers of our country more than ever before! Thank you!

[pricekimbrough]

I can’t wait to see Anna in the buddy sit of that tractor. See I had a German Shepard and I know she will kinda have a love hate reaction to the buddy sit but it’s getting close. Glad to see seeds in the ground.

14 days later than last year...hope you have a bountiful crop. Thank you to all the farmers, u are the backbone of America .

Thanks for the first planter video of the season.

Well, you got the planter going after a lot of adjusting and doing this and that. Sounds like your planter took a harder hit than thought in the storm. But, you got the bugs worked out and it is going now the way it
Appreciate your patience with the planter. Do understand you want it to just go but technology get in the way.
Good job with getting it going correctly. Should be ready to go now.

Will be anxious to hear on next video how it went. If it is working ok have it going round the clock until done.

Got to be a good feeling to finally be planting after all the problems.

Amazing that the dogs will ride in the four by four and nothing else. Interesting.

Guess I will leave you alone now, you have enough to do without me talking.
My compliments to you on all of this. You got it going.

Sincerely appreciate you keeping us all on the video. Know with all of the problems would be simple to forget filming. So do appreciate you keeping us in the loop.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks to Becky for editing.
Thanks for everything Zach and Dad.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.

I haven't farmed in 30 yrs and thought I'd like to try the new technology but watching you battle the planter has changed my mind.

[terrypomatto]

I've never heard a farmer who hasn't complained about the rain, they don't get enough, they get too much or they wished that they got planted or harvested before the rain. Farmers are the biggest gamblers on earth, but we cannot do without you guys. I pray that you have successful year and hopes for a better harvest next time.

Always love seeing the pups in videos. They're just living their best lives it seems.

[lawman]

Watching your channel makes me glad I’m an American. You guys are pressing on despite shortages, diesel at record high prices, a tornado and Biden regulations. And you soldier on to keep us city slickers fed. God bless!

[aaronsandford]

I dont know about you guys, but I am smiling ear to ear, got the warm feelings when i heard "we are planting!" Go Zach go!

[AllanSitte]

902K+ subscribers are very pleased to see you out planting the fields.
Congrats on all things. Be safe and be well.

[tsint]

Never seen Didge that happy, seems to really enjoy to ride that UTV :)

[FriendlyCleaningKC]

Tractor repairs are rarely family friendly events 🤪

[isaacthefarmer]

I’m so happy to see you finally in the field

[allenwagener]

I am a old farmer from Carver County. I have been following you for about 2 years. Please keep the Millennial Farmer site going. I watched the video of the storm earlier this month and am happy no one in your family was harmed. Stuff can be fixed or replaced but human bodies not so easy. It was nice to see your family working together after the storm, that includes Jim and your dad.
I remember a farmers work is never completely done. If people cannot understand that, they need to "walk a few miles in your shoes". KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! P.S. Mrs. Millennial Farmer
All farmers wives can be pleased to see you working shoulder to shoulder with your husband. Thank both of you for keeping this site going.

[redpillpirate]

Glad to hear that Anna is getting better at talking on camera. 🤣

[mattpollis]

Good to see some seed go in the ground after everything that's happened. Even better to see is your and everyone else's attitude this whole time. No one complains, if anything makes good from bad.
