It’s finally starting to feel like spring on the farm… which means it’s time for the annual John Deere shuffle.
Today is one of those days where I stay busy all day, but somehow it feels like I don’t actually get much done. I’ve got to pull half the shed apart just to get to the water trailer, make room in the shop for planter work, hook up the field cultivator, deal with dead batteries, move machinery around, and get everything ready for our dealer to come install FurrowVision on the planter.
In this video:
Getting the planter shop-ready for spring upgrades
Dead combine batteries and the old-school charger coming to the rescue
Moving machinery around just to get to one trailer
Hooking up the field cultivator and cleaning out the shed
Talking diesel, fertilizer prices, and spring input costs
Why spring farm prep can feel like a full day of work without ever leaving the yard
Some days on the farm are full speed in the field.
Other days are just moving iron, fixing little problems, and trying to stay ahead before planting season hits.
That’s farm life this time of year.
If you’ve ever had one job turn into ten, you’ll probably relate to this 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.
