From the founder
“I started apprenticing for my dad at 14, sweeping alfalfa production fields for harmful bugs. Seed quality mattered — but the biggest lesson was the value of people.”

After three summers walking fields, Cody moved to a conditioning and packaging facility during college, learning purity, germ and seed packaging. He founded his first seed company, Forage Complete, in 2008. Western Hybrids now brings 40 years of combined knowledge to the western grower.
