History
Rupp Seeds traces its roots to a family farm owned by Grandpa Sylvan and Grandma Pearl Rupp. Grandpa Sylvan started the 'Sylvan L. Rupp Seed Farm' in 1946, selling hybrid corn seed and producing public soybean, wheat, and oat varieties. In 1972, his son Roger Rupp became a partner, and the company was then known as the 'Rupp Seed Farm.' Under Roger's interest in plant breeding and research, the company developed Rupp brand corn hybrids and soybean varieties. In 1985, the company entered the vegetable seed business, starting with sweet corn seed.
