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.

Onyx's opening tune made me laugh. Like father like son, auto steer on, eating chips! Again much respect for Zacks patients in teaching the littles and for the littles for wanting to learn.

[MrYungfras]

This by far is the best episode! Zack’s parenting really shines through and his kids are natural personalities. OUTFREAKINGSTANDING!

[randallparker]

There is NOTHING as important as the look on her face as she knows she can do it! "Beans are easier"... her brother taught her well. GREAT JOB RHIANNON/ONYX! Great job Mom and Dad! (got a little choked up thinking of my kids growing up so fast) I'm the proud Grandpa of a college graduate and more to follow. God bless the Johnson Clan!

[DGT]

Good Dad = Good Kids. Our country needs more families like

[hypernoid]

Gentile, patient, teaching, instilling confidence from a dad that loves them. Just think if all children had a dad like this.

[raysmith]

Outstanding job Mom and Dad teaching your kids the importance of work.

[chrisswoboda]

Zach you have to be a very proud dad to have 2 of your kids helping on the farm.

[martinlazar]

Look at Onyx still being a kid, driving a huge machine, all confident and alert, and stuffing his face with chips and wiping his hand into trousers!
Amazing!

[johnmoenster]

I about fell over laughing when Rhiannon was hollering at Onyx "You are fine!" She's already a great cart operator and young woman. She won't take any guff of the combine operator. Well done Zach and Becky!

[JackVanDenAkker]

Wow this dad is what the world needs, cool calm and intelligent man, beautiful intelligent kids, fantastic

[Kevin-exyb]

As a father that grew up on a farm and learn to operate from my father and grandfather it warms the soul to watch you teach your kids. It also makes me sad that my son will never get that kind of experience as we no longer have the farm.

[arthurthompson]

That's really nice to see two of the kids working in the fields. This was a enjoyable video to watch. Both parents should be feeling proud, good job!

[petemac]

What's even better than watching Zach teach the kids is their enthusiasm for learning! Good to see the next generation of farmers actively pursuing this important career! Great job, Onyx and Rhiannon!!

[toast]

As a dad teaching my boy to run an excavator properly it's an awesome experience sharing that time with your kids. Onyx impress me a great deal. To be that confident at 13 is very cool. Rhiannon likewise was taking that all in. I love her sassy spirit. I'd say most parents don't give there kids enough credit, with the right support and environment some kids can really excel.

[j]

This is what growing up on a farm is all about. Respect to both you two and dad for the work you do.

[markpi]

This was a great segment. I grew up as a farm boy, both row-crop and livestock, and learned from my folks just like you are teaching your children. I pestered them everyday to let me work in the field and finally did at around 11 years old raking hay and hauling ear corn out of the field and helping move equipment from field to field. Even today at nearly 70 years old I still help my brother during planting and harvest, tillage and grain cart. His equipment is very similar to yours so it all looks familiar. Your kids will remember these days for the rest of their lives, I did.

[Tinytraveler]

Oh my gosh, seeing Onyx driving like a vet, watching dad and daughter was awesome! Probably one of my favorite episodes. I can't wait till Onyx has his own channel one day, carrying the legend

[scottchadbourne]

Have been watching Millennial Farmer around 5 years now and this has been my favorite episode. Self confidence and the feeling of accomplishment is written all over their faces. Good job!

[jackerthesnacker]

Wow your an amazing dad, we live on 20 acres and I’m 12 yr old and my dad is never nice like this, all he does is scream and yell at me. He complains about stuff and claims he doesn’t do it even though he does. We make small squares on the farm and I was tedding hay and he jumps on the tractor and just starts yelling at me. Your kids are so lucky to have a dad like you! This would be my dream come true❤️❤️

[tcuscg]

The buzz in the think tank back at JD is "Did you hear what the little 10 year told us.. DO IT... Get design up here NOW!" As great as a farmer you present. You are a great dad too. All the rain or drought in the world can't take that away. Great video and outstanding job by your young farmers.
