Our Story

Our Story Our seed has been planted, grown, cut and processed by the Shirley Family since 1975. The business began with Joe Shirley's FFA project during his sophomore year in high school. In 1972, Joe married Ann. Together, they worked to build the family farm. Like most farms in western Oklahoma, it was not without trials, disappointments, and hardships. A few of these include devastation hailstorms, droughts, and fire. Through these times, we learned to persevere. We learned to work hard, do without, and stick together. This was the beginning that led this family business to what it is today. Currently, we are farming several thousand acres of certified or registered seed. Our farm is now operated with the help of Joe and Ann's son Biron Shirley, and his family. https://extension.okstate.edu/programs/wheat-research-and-extension/?Forwarded=wheat.okstate.edu/
