Zach Johnson is a fifth generation family farmer in Minnesota and well known as a Millennial Farmer due to his large following on YouTube.
Mitchell Hora farms in Washington County, Iowa. His family has been farming in the area for more than 100 years. When he’s not podcasting, he also runs a consulting company called Continuum Ag.
