Spraying day. We finished planting 48 hours ago, so now the focus shifts to getting our pre-emerge herbicide down before the rain we're hoping for Sunday. I'm hauling water and chemical south to Dad, who's the spray guy around here.
I also walked out and showed you just how dry this ground actually is, because I'm tired of the "farmers drench everything in chemicals" comments. The reality looks a little different when you're standing in the dust.
Plus: how the sprayer controls every individual nozzle, we sold 25,000 bushels of corn, and we swapped a fresh set of wheels onto Onyx's truck.

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.
