Roy Pfaltzgraff along with his wife Barb and his parents operate a 2,000 acre dryland family farm, Pfaltzgraff Farms, LLC, south of Haxtun, CO, where he was born and raised. Roy's father has always had a pioneering vision and spirit, but he could never imagine the farm as it is now. Roy’s dad planted crops with no-till practices in the 80’s, but when Roy returned to take over operation five years ago, the changes really took root. The farm has evolved from raising two to three crops a year to 14 crops in 2022 and the current count is eleven for 2023. Roy has integrated new techniques from seeding through harvest that minimizes specialty equipment while doing everything possible to increase soil health, while conserving residue and moisture. Roy has been able to see improvements in the soil, the most notable is raising organic matter from the area's average of less than 1% to a farm average of 2.5%. He, along with Barb's help, has started direct marketing of some of the farm's products sold under PFZ Farms which are found on-line and in farmer's markets along the Front Range of Colorado.
