Wyffels Hybrids, a leading seed company, has opened a new distribution center in Ames, Iowa, marking the company’s first infrastructure investment outside of Illinois. President John Wyffels says that the facility will house about half a million units of seed corn and will serve farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. This long-awaited investment is a result of a decade of planning and will provide farmers in the region with more seed options.
Wyffels expresses excitement about the new facility, stating that it is likely just the first phase of a larger complex that could include seed corn production capabilities, research, agronomy capabilities, and even opportunities to bring customers on-site in the future. The company plans to start shipping new crop out of the facility this fall and will be offering customer tours during the upcoming Farm Progress Show.
This expansion reflects Wyffels Hybrids’ commitment to growth and innovation in the agriculture industry. By investing in new infrastructure and expanding their presence in key agricultural regions, the company aims to provide farmers with the tools and resources they need to succeed. The opening of the new distribution center in Ames represents a significant milestone in Wyffels Hybrids’ journey and signals a promising future for the company and its customers.
