Company Profile

The mission of Silver Lane Hybrids, Inc. is to provide to its customers the latest corn and soybean genetics suitable for Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. This includes recommendations, and interpretations of research, so that customers can judge for themselves which varieties are most suitable for their location and farming practices.

Silver Lane Hybrids was founded in 1948 by Glenn L. Kinsell, on the west edge of Remington. The Purple Ribbon brand name came from the county fair competition that was popular in the 40’s. The best 10-ear entry of commercial corn won the Grand Champion purple ribbon. Dozens of men and boys would enter samples they had saved from the previous harvest.
