Show notes

Ever wonder what harvest looks like behind-the-scenes at a seed corn company?

While corn growers across the Midwest are getting rolling with harvest, the Wyffels research and production teams are managing their own harvest tasks.

On this week's episode of "Keeping It Independent", we explore how these teams managed a challenging 2026 growing season to develop and deliver products for 2027 and beyond.

Join Eric Wilson, Dr. Shane Meis, and Matt Carton as they share their experiences and insights on navigating the unpredictable weather patterns and the impact on corn production.
