ABOUT THE FARM
Hodkiewicz Harvesting & Trucking is run by Mitch Hodkiewicz. Mitch’s farming career began in 1993, dairy
farming with his great uncle, Ervin Rosera. In 1998, they chose to sell the cows but continue cash cropping. It was at this
time when Mitch purchased his first tract of land, Great Uncle Ervin’s farm. Since that purchase, the farm continues to
grow and diversify. The Hodkidwicz’s now crop 4,300 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat. They also offer various
custom field operations throughout the community as well as trucking services. The first grain bin was put up in 1999,
many additions have been made to the grain facilities since then including building additional bins, adding a drive-over
unloading pit, installing wet and dry legs and a grain drying tower system, adding a grain dryer which was recently
converted from LP to natural gas, and upgrading from single-phase to three-phase electricity. Land stewardship is a
priority of the farm which is demonstrated through implementation of a nutrient management plan, utilizing variable rate
seed and fertilizer application, planting cover crops, and other conservation practices. The farm consists of 5 full time
employees and 4 part time employees who help during the especially busy seasons of planting and harvesting.
Mitch and his wife Brooke live on the farm with their 4 children, and Mitch has enjoyed raising all 9 of his kids
on the farm – Jason (daughter Briella), Justin, Kaitlyn (husband Jacob and baby girl coming soon), Kyle, Tyler, Macie,
Hallie, Weldon, and Natalie. The family is so excited to have the opportunity to host Oconto County’s 2025 Breakfast on
the Farm.
