Wyffels Hybrids is proud to announce the addition of Mike Witt as its new Agronomy Manager, a move that underscores the company’s ongoing investment in agronomic expertise and farmer success.
Mike brings a wealth of experience and passion for corn production to Wyffels.

We’re investing in people who share our passion for helping farmers achieve more.”
