Description

In 1929, Earl M. Hughes sold his first lot of barley seed. At that time, the majority of McHenry County farms were dairies. Hughes was no exception and milked cows, fed beef, raised chickens, and farrowed hogs. In addition, Earl specialized in raising seed oats for many years. By the time of World War II, Earl was growing hybrid seed corn for sale. In subsequent years, Hughes farm produced seed was shipped to the east coast by railcar to retail seed companies. In 1967, the Hughes Hybrids brand was formed to retail the then new single cross corn hybrids directly to farmers. During the 1970’s and 1980’s the Hughes Hybrids brand grew rapidly with the success of products such as 39-A, 5404, and 5870.
