Wyffels Hybrids recently announced their plans for a new site based in Ames, Iowa. The decision was spurred by almost a decade of consecutive sales growth. Jacob Wyffels, Wyffels Hybrids vice president of production, said they chose to build in Ames because it has become a hub for Iowa agriculture.
The new facility, located on approximately 150 acres near Interstate 35 and Highway 30, will ensure that Wyffels? growing customer base continues to enjoy industry leading products and support throughout the growing season. The first phase of construction includes a new warehouse and distribution center to bring seed closer to customers in Iowa, southern South Dakota and southern Minnesota. Wyffels said that the new location will allow them to reach more farmers with their products and services.
The land, which they purchased from Alliant Energy, provides an ideal location, with it being so close to Iowa State University and two major interstates. Wyffels said they look forward to working with ISU students and providing them with new opportunities.
Wyffels said they?re excited to get construction started next spring and hit the ground running.
