We had soybeans planted on the home farm this season, you can see where we planted the longer day beans a 2.8 maturity compared to the 2.3 maturity group beans.

Estes XPR2s made a cleaner sample, less broken kernels, less chaff, and i could pick slightly faster and use little less fuel.
The right basket had full season high management, 3 fungicides, micros, fertigation. The left basket was just production corn, same field.
Drozd Family Grain is a family farm that has been a steward in southwest Michigan for over 40 years. Jon Drozd began row crop farming full time right after high school in 1977. Jon learned most of his trades naturally as the Drozd family has roots in agriculture dating back to the mid 1940's. Today, Jon farms with his wife Melissa and his two sons, Jake and Ryan Drozd and Ryan's wife, Morgan.
DFG strives to lead in up to date farming practices taking them full scale in a large primarily corn and soybean operation. It is very important to DFG to be immersed in our local community. We hope to have an impact on not just our area, but across the country as well.
Whether you have land for us to farm that we may be interested in, have a product for us to try, want to join our team, or interested in learning more about farming and what we do - please browse our website or feel free to contact us!
DFG was lucky enough to have two state winners in the NCGA corn yield contest in 2024 along with having the 4th highest in the country in the Strip, Min, Mulch, Ridge-till category and 5th highest in the country in the Irrigated category. We use this contest as a way to push ourselves and to learn no practices to take to the rest of our acres across the farm. It took 12 years to go from 300bu/ac to 351bu/ac. That just shows at these levels how much harder it is to move the bar.
ABOUT
Total Acre
DFG is not only part of, but also a co-camp host of the Great Lakes Total Acre group with Indiana farmer Dave Schrock.
What Total Acre is, is a peer group of farmers created by farmers Randy Dowdy and David Hula who saw the value in sharing ideas and data. What they found along with many other farmers in everybody's regions including our own is that no one wants to share data or ideas. With this group of farmers we all try new things, input soil samples and tissue samples into the online program (YMS) and track applications and the seasons progress only to see if what we did make a difference or not to see where yield comes from to improve our fields. Since joining our farm corn averages have not dropped below 200bu/ac where in previous years it would vary on and off so the group has been tremendously beneficial to our operation. If your farm is ever curious about joining please reach out and we can get you in touch with them or setup a meeting to show some of the benefits.
Frontier Fields
DFG had the opportunity to join a group of growers thanks to Total Acre who were filmed a different parts of the growing season in 2024 to promote, learn, and share about the world of biologicals and microbials. Specifically Mosaic Bioscience's Biopath product. So sit back and enjoy some episodes of Frontier Fields.
