Between the Rows-Roger Zeedyk

Roger Zeedyk
Defiance County

Roger farms heavy clay soils in Defiance County in the far northwest corner of the state. He works with a nearby dairy by growing silage and using the manure for his fields. He places a high priority on faith and family and feels blessed to farm because it allows the flexibility to spend time with his children and grandchildren. “You only get around 40 chances to plant a crop and harvest a crop. At 62 years old, I’ve burnt up quite a few already.”
