Jamie is the GOAT! I’ve been blessed to work with the best nursery and yield trial managers in the industry, Jamie has done both simultaneously and been at Wyffels Hybrids for more than 40 years with pollinating seasons. Congrats!

My little cheerleader celebrated her senior night last night. I’m blessed to be her Dad and am so proud of the smart, strong, and beautiful woman she has become. I’m going to miss her junior Mom abilities and our late night chats when she leaves for college next fall!

Glad my daughter Natalie gets to run with the Zeiberts! Such an awesome family!

The “$3 corn is worth more than a degree from Iowa” sign was definitely the highlight of the first half of the #Illini game

Fishin’ on a February Friday afternoon with man’s best friend…experimental design can wait until tomorrow when it’s cold again.

I don’t agree with JB on much, but we can find common ground on this. Our school used to allow unrestricted use of phones in class. Hard enough to teach without kids watching Netflix during instruction.

Kids reminded me that 5 years ago today they got sent home from school and didn’t go back for a year. #NeverForget

If JB Pritzker seriously thought requiring ID disenfranchised ppl he would pass laws in Illinois so that ppl wouldn’t need an ID for: Buying Liquor Driving a Car Buying Cigarettes Getting a Job Applying for Public Aid Buying a House Renting an Apartment The list goes on & on.

The best gifts are the homemade child crafts. This life sized beaded corn ear from my 10yo is a perfect addition to the corn shrine in my office.

A good sign that corn planting time is almost (or already) at hand in central Illinois.

I think my 10yo must have listened to James Clear’s Atomic Habits on my Audible. She’s been doing this every school day since she was 5. I’m sure she never gets tired of my Dad joke pretending I think she was vaporized when I tuck her in at night😂

The 2025 nursery is in the ground in near perfect conditions. Can’t wait for the next generation of Wyffels Hybrids products to emerge and begin their quest to earn the W!

The definition of potential.

I will always be reminded of my PhD advisor Dr. Moose when I find a golf ball in a corn field. Moose Droppings we called them😂 Crop Sciences

Getting the house ready for a graduation party in the Midwest.

This Memorial Day I’m remembering Joshua Bennett Hubbs. We had the honor of visiting the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery in Nettuno, Italy where he and 7,844 other US soldiers are memorialized. He died during the Anzio landing to liberate Italy during WWII.

Everyone in the central Corn Belt is fawning over the 2025 Wyffels Hybrids lineup.

Pollination season has arrived.

Working on 4th doesn’t mean you can’t also celebrate Independence Day. #plantyourindependence Wyffels Hybrids

Last bag of pollination season #21 overall and #5 with Wyffels Hybrids
