#sponsored #JohnDeerePartner Corn Harvest 2026 is underway on our Minnesota family farm. The soybeans are still wet and the ground is muddy, so we’re starting with corn. Before we get too excited about the yield monitor, we need to find out how close those numbers really are.
Dad, Onyx and Jim help get the first day moving while we check grain loss, test moisture and get the combine dialed in. We also look at John Deere harvest automation and predictive yield mapping, fire up the grain dryer, and keep going until nearly 10 p.m. By the time we park for the night, we’ve harvested 100 acres of corn.
The tractor was clean when we started.

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 6th-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.
