THE ROZEBOOM FAMILY
Sioux County, July 2022

Glenn and Betty Rozeboom have enjoyed life with their family. Married for 56 years, they have three sons, 10 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. After meeting in Omaha in the 1960s, they moved to his family’s farm north of Carmel several years later and started a 50-cow dairy.
Sons Brian and Steve run the show today at Dry Creek Farms. In his mid-70s, Glenn was still going strong until last year when his trailer and cab rolled. Glenn broke his back and recovery is taking a long time. “I go out every week or every-other-week to try to work, but I just can’t do it anymore.”
Steve said, “We raise our own calves and heifers; we feed out all of our steers and we have dairy beef.” In addition to their own grain crop and forage acres, they do some custom chopping and planting. The biggest challenge is keeping a quality work force in place and wondering if and when the time will be right to employ robotic milking. Robots or no robots, “Number one, the cows always, always, always come first,” Brian said.
