Jacob Roloff says he may leave Roloff Farm in January after the 2026 pumpkin season, amid a dispute with his father Matt over management and finances. He alleges he is underpaid and kept in the dark about bills; TV Insider’s report includes no response from Matt.
Jacob says he earns about $28,000 a year and pays roughly 30% of that to his father as rent, adding that he accepted lower pay to help save the family business money. He says he and Isabel wanted to grow their own corn and add a corn maze, but could not do so under the farm’s management. He also said Matt’s focus on making the land sellable conflicted with harvesting pumpkins.
Matt invited Jacob and his family back to the Oregon farm in 2024. Jacob, Isabel and cousin Max began running the 70-acre property, which had a pumpkin farm and 60 animals. Jacob also alleges Matt is pushing him off the property over weeds and lawn upkeep; he says he avoids weed killer because he worries about its possible effects on his son’s health.
