We catch up with former Hawkeyes Landan and Levi Paulsen in Kalona, Iowa, joking about local businesses, Amish country, and sponsorship dreams (including Kalona Supernatural Dairy). The conversation turns to post-football health, major weight loss, and a rundown of numerous surgeries—highlighted by Levi's gruesome big-toe capsule tear story. Landan shares how jiu-jitsu (training at Citadel in Iowa City) became his new competitive outlet and Kevin joins to add his own Citadel injury story, while Levi explains his shift into endurance sports and training for a three-day gravel/swim/run event. They discuss fueling, the psychology of pursuing hard challenges after Iowa football, anxiety around fall camp, fatherhood updates, and how Landan and Levi helped grow an F3 men's fitness/community group built on Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith.

In this episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul sits down with Bob Miller, founder of Miller Hybrids, to unpack what it really takes to build a seed company in an industry dominated by global giants. From his early days in plant breeding to launching his own company in the middle of industry consolidation, Bob shares a perspective that challenges much of how modern seed is developed, tested, and sold.This conversation dives deep into why most seed is bred for “perfect conditions” instead of real farms, how Miller Hybrids tests genetics differently to create more stable performance, and why conventional corn is quietly making a comeback. Bob also breaks down the economics behind traits, the real role of GMOs, and where farmers may be overpaying for protection they don't actually need.If you've ever wondered whether bigger companies actually mean better seed—or what the future of genetics, CRISPR, and farm profitability really looks like—this episode will make you think differently about every seed decision you make.MEET THE GUESTBob Miller is a respected corn breeder and the founder and owner of Miller Hybrids, a family-owned seed company based in Kalona, Iowa.Born on a dairy and crop farm in northwest Ohio, Miller developed an early fascination with corn hybrids and their ability to handle stress and maximize yields. He built a distinguished career as a corn breeder with major seed companies, including Syngenta,where he developed successful commercial inbred lines and hybrids. His work emphasized improved emergence, yield stability, and drought tolerance.In 2005, he founded Miller Hybrids (originally B.O.B. Seeds, standing for "Best of the Best") to create a more hands-on, farmer-focused operation. As owner, president, and research director, Miller leads the company's breeding and testing programs. He develops corn hybrids tailored for the average farm, rigorously testing them across diverse soil types, stress conditions, and real-world environments like corn-on-corn rotations.Miller is deeply committed to empowering farmers. He believes in building reliable products that raise farm averages rather than chasing only top-end yields in ideal conditions. His family company (with his wife Pam) emphasizes personal attention, direct access to the breeder, and genetics that deliver stable, high performance for everyday growers.Through Miller Hybrids, Bob continues his lifelong passion for practical plant breeding, blending decades of industry expertise with the independence of a family business to support American agriculture.To learn more about Miller Hybrids, check out their website: https://www.millerhybrids.com/
