Willie Unger Jr.

Equipment Operator
12 years

Willie Unger Sr.’s oldest son Willie Jr. started working for VFF at a young age and has quickly moved up through the ranks. Through his dedication and learning, he has acquired the ability to operate any machinery on the farm. While Willie Jr.’s primary responsibility revolves around operating one of VFF’s spray rigs, you’ll often find him behind the wheel of a 4WD tractor pulling an air drill, operating a combine during harvest, or spreading manure in the winter months. Willie Jr. particularly enjoys the job of over-the-road trucking. The VFF team appreciates his willingness to make the 550 mile trip to haul equipment from the farm in Kansas to VFF’s farm in Texas. Willie Jr. is married to Maria (Geisbrecht) Unger and together they have all indications of a bright future ahead.

WHY VFF:
“Being involved in every step of the plant growth process, from planting to harvesting. Being able to see the full cycle of growth can be very rewarding and provide a deep sense of satisfaction. It is fulfilling to see long hours of work pay off.”
