Many years ago we established a policy 
for Funk Bros. Seed Company and the Funk 
Farms that placed service and integrity ahead 
of material gain. It is most gratifying to find 
farmers in increasing numbers, year after year, 
making Funk Bros. Seed Company and the 
Funk Farms their seed headquarters. It proves 
to me that our policy is leading us forward 
and that we are serving the public as they 
should be served; fairly, honestly and with the 
best obtainable seed. 
During the forty odd years I have guided 
Funk Bros. Seed Company and the Funk Farms 
the orders have been to give careful consideration to all angles of a problem or project 
before taking it on. But once undertaken, to do the job right regardless of time, labor 
and expense. This order still stands. It will stand as long as I am in control. 
Hybrid Corn is in the forefront today. Our Hybrid project was started on the Funk 
Farms more years ago than I like to recall. I was a rather young man at that time. Hy¬ 
brid Corn production has been a long pull. The time consumed, the labor necessary and 
the expense involved mounted many times over the original estimates. No stone has 
been left unturned to do the job right. Experienced men have been trained or brought 
into the organization as developments required. I am proud of these men. They rank 
second to none. Most of them are nationally known. 
Orders to my Corn Breeders are brief and to the point. Our customers have a right 
to expect and they must get “The Best Hybrid First From Funk."
