When I learned that trucker hats were originally created and handed out to farmers and truckers from seed companies as a way to promote their products, I knew I wanted to created a seed company line of patches. Paying homage to three different seed companies that have meaning to our family, this line was born. In 1917, a business was built in town which greatly influenced the entire community. It was the J.M. Schultz Seed Company which specialized in the buying, cleaning and reselling of different grass seeds, mainly Red Top and Timothy. In fact, Dieterich at one time, was known as the Red Top capital of the world. The J.M. Schultz Seed Company provided employment for a number of people and also gave farmers a way to bring in more earnings. My dad worked for Schultz Seed Company in Dieterich when he was in High School. He enjoyed the work and the additional income.
