Wyffels Hybrids, one of the fastest growing independent seed corn companies in the Central Corn Belt, proudly celebrates its 80th anniversary—marking eight decades of innovation, relentless improvement, and unwavering commitment to helping farmers succeed.
Founded in 1946 by Bill and Alma Wyffels with a simple vision—to produce high performing seed for their friends and neighbors, the company has grown from a small, family run seed operation into a trusted brand known for elite corn genetics, local expertise, and exceptional customer support.
Eight Decades of Growth Rooted in Independence
Wyffels Hybrids remains fiercely independent, a core value that has empowered the company to focus solely on what matters most to farmers: providing the best performing corn hybrids supported by real world agronomy.
This independence has fueled significant growth—including expanded sales regions, new research and production facilities, and continued investment in technologies that help farmers boost productivity and profitability. Learn more about the Wyffels Hybrids story.
“Eighty years ago, my grandfather believed that if you commit to quality and serve your neighbor, success will follow,” said John Wyffels, President. “That belief still guides every decision we make. We’re not driven by corporate agendas—we’re driven by farmers and by doing things the right way, one hybrid and one relationship at a time.”
A Brand Farmers Trust
What started as a family promise has grown into a reputation built on trust, transparency, and personal service. Farmers continue choosing Wyffels not only because the products perform, but because of the way the company approaches business—straightforward, dependable, and grounded in respect for growers’ livelihoods.
“Our success isn’t about being the biggest,” said Jacob Wyffels, Vice President of Operations. “It’s about being the best—for our customers, our employees, and the future of farming.”
Committed to Growers—Today and for the Next Generation
As Wyffels Hybrids celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on its mission: helping farmers thrive by delivering top performing corn hybrids, unmatched agronomic support, and the independence needed to adapt quickly to emerging challenges. “For us, independence isn’t a marketing line—it’s how we serve growers,” said John Wyffels, President. “Every hybrid we release must deliver meaningful value to the farmers who trust us. Our Hybrids represent not just innovation, but our commitment to doing what’s right by the people who put our seed in their soil.”
With continued investment in research, local testing, and customer first mentality, Wyffels is poised to help growers unlock tomorrow’s opportunities—one season at a time.
