John began learning many lessons of the seed business at the family dinner table. As a teenager John worked seasonally for Wyffels Hybrids assisting in the Research, Production, and Finance departments. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 2004 with a degree in accounting, John spent 10 years advising clients in their pursuit of strategic and financial acquisitions. During this time John gained an appreciation for smaller, quicker, growth oriented companies. In 2013 John joined Wyffels Hybrids as VP of Finance & Admin. In 2017 Wyffels Hybrids leadership responsibilities were transitioned from 2nd to 3rd generation and John began leading the company as President. John is deeply passionate about building a respected family seed business. He's excited for the privilege to lead a team relentlessly work together serving growers in the pursuit of a more productive and profitable crop.
