Spring is here… kind of.
We’ve got snow in the forecast, mud everywhere, and a shop full of seed, chemical, and equipment prep to get through before planting. But the real story this year?
Input costs.
Chemical prices are all over the place, fertilizer is up, diesel isn’t cheap… so we’re making some changes to how we farm — including going with generic chemicals that save serious money.
In this video:
Unloading seed and chemical deliveries
Breaking down generic vs name-brand crop inputs
Why some of these products are literally the SAME thing
Spring prep chaos before planting season
Fixing equipment, bent shanks, and getting ready for the field
Testing out the “new to us” forklift
Farming is full of moving targets…
and this year, input costs might be the biggest one.

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.
