Lets Grow Together

William Tobolt first came to Minnesota in 1914 on the train from Freeport, IL, with his cattle and some machinery.

Tobolt Seed has been a family owned business for over 80 years, started by William’s son, Harold Tobolt in 1928.

It was then passed down to Harold’s son, John, after he finished college in 1962.

In 2002, to enhance the operation, we added a new seed plant and warehouse designed by John’s sons, Scott and Steve.

Scott passed away in 2003 due to an accident. John’s son, Steve, now operates the plant.

A treating system for all crops was added in 2011.  We also added two cleaners that are available to clean the seed.

Today, our company specializes in processing and selling wheat, barley, oats, and soybeans. As a full-service company, we partner with dedicated growers to produce high-quality seed that meets industry standards. Our advanced facilities enable us to efficiently handle bulk orders, and with our streamlined operations, we can load shipping containers in just 15 minutes—ensuring fast and reliable export of goods to Japan.
