For fourth-generation farmer Tyler Huber, agriculture is more than a career; it’s a family legacy, a commitment to community and an opportunity to shape the future of farming. As a new member of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, Huber hopes to bring a young, fresh perspective while continuing his passion for helping fellow farmers succeed.  

Huber farms near Waseca, where his family operation will celebrate 100 years in 2028. After purchasing the farm from his parents in 2020, he officially became the next steward of the family’s legacy with his wife and four kids.  

Today, Huber farms both soybeans and corn while raising a small herd of beef feeders. In addition, Huber has built a successful seed business, Corn Country Seed Co. LLC, representing Beck’s Hybrids, since 2019. The business allows him to generate off-farm income while still remaining on the farm full time and continuing to grow his operation.  

While the seed business began as a practical opportunity, it quickly became a passion. He says Beck’s family-owned and faith-oriented values aligned closely with his own, making it a perfect fit.  

The Huber family is Waseca County’s 2026 Farm Family of the Year.

“I like helping farmers become more successful,” Huber said. “If I can help somebody make a better decision on their acres or improve their operation, then I feel like I am doing something right.” 

Huber’s commitment to agriculture extends well beyond his own farm. He has served on the Waseca County Fair Board for 13 years, previously served on the Waseca County Farm Bureau Board and regularly supports local FFA and 4-H programs through sponsorships, donations and educational events. 

His dedication recently earned recognition when Huber and his family were named Waseca County Farm Family of the Year through the University of Minnesota Extension. The Hubers received the honor Aug. 7 at Farmfest, and Huber says the award was a reminder that the work he and his family are doing is making a positive impact on their community. 

As he furthers his involvement with MSGA, Huber hopes to continue learning more about agricultural policy and advocacy while helping bring younger voices into these leadership roles.  

“I like networking and being involved, as there is always something new to learn,” Huber said. “If younger farmers don’t step up and get involved, those opportunities and perspectives won’t be there for the future.”
