Our success happens only when you succeed.
Ryan Shelby founded Northern Illinois Seed and Service in 2018.
“Customers appreciate us because we know seed,” says Ryan. “We know our products, we’re diligent about crop scouting, and we’re always willing to help growers with parts of their business we might not even have a direct sales interest in. We’re down to earth and honest, and customers like that.”
Northern Illinois Seed and Service is a supporter of local 4-H auctions and regularly donates seed to the FFA.

Ryan grew up on his family farm in Fulton County, Illinois. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in crop science and a master’s degree in plant pathology, then worked in research with Pioneer from 2005 to 2011. After taking a position as a product agronomist, he and his wife, Ming, moved to northern Illinois. Pictured here are Ryan, Ming, and their twin boys, Henry and George.
