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.

Don't worry Onyx.. we ALL learned shifting a standard by rounding off the edges of the gears until they were smooth enough to mesh together properly!! 👍
-
So nice to see that Jim is part of the cast again.
-
Former farm kid here. My parents figured learning to drive on the farm would be safer then learning blind in Drivers Ed. I knew how to drive before I was 13 years old. Go Onyx go!
-
Great job Onyx. Learn as many Life Lessons as you can while you’re young. Ask Jim and your grandfather all the questions you can. It will serve you well.
-
I like when Jim is around. He’s a character, that’s a good thing.
-
As a truck driver for the last 45 years I still remember the first time. Good job kid 👍👍✌️
-
driving a 13 speed at 11yrs old on the farm and to the elevator. No one ever questioned my age. Of course that was in the late 50’s. Onyx is blessed to have such a great family.
-
Advice from a former trucking company owner: Keep and maintain what you have for power units. You don’t drive them enough to wear them out. The new stuff is more expensive to purchase and maintain! Put your capital towards other farm purchases.
-
Great to see a young man learning to do the pm's on machinery and not just the driving part. Got to learn how to take care or our machines and they will take care of us.
-
Nice to see Onyx being taught how to drive truck by his Dad. It could come in handy down the road. Learning a trade at a young age never hurts. Even if he’s just taking laps around the farm for now. God bless all farmers.
-
I have a heavy equipment company and we used to have a “Jim”. His name was Billy and he was an incredible hand, but also everyone’s friend/dad/grandpa. Having those old boys around is something every company needs. Unfortunately Billy passed away a few years ago and left a big hole in our company. Here’s to hiring older guys to help out!
-
TEACH that boy RIGHT . . never touch the clutch unless you are starting off or stopping !!! Good job, Onyx !!! ( I loved the signature Onyx "Eye Roll" when he got it right, too )
-
The stuff that he learns at 14 years old he will never forget.
-
The videos are coming out a lot faster now that spring has sprung. I appreciate it too
-
Seeing his confidence grow with every shift! Love the lesson a real Dad there
-
Onyx my first was a "48" gmc 2 ton. Straight gear no syncro transmission. My grandfather would laugh an say "grind me a pound while ya at it" good times and I miss them.
-
I learned on the my mom’s family farm. I used to help out my grandpa and uncle back in the summers and he’d let me drive the old farm trucks around and skid steers,tractors etc. Was a lot of fun and great memories I had with my grandpa. Miss you poppa!
-
I learned to drive truck at 13-14 years old. The best way to learn is to have dad right there in the passenger seat teaching you for sure.!!!! Hell yeah Onyx keep it up guys🤙
-
Nothing I love more than five trips to the store for the correct part
-
Looked like Onyx had a fun time learning to drive the semi im about his same age and learned to drive our Pete like 2 years ago
