About Sloup/Thorell Detasseling

The Sloup and Thorell families have been in the detasseling business since 1978, and they have been in partnership since 1989.

​Sloup Thorell Detasseling strives to practice Christian principles and integrity in our business, and we hire experienced coaches and teachers to be our crew leaders. We desire to give every worker a safe, pleasant, and confident work environment ensuring all workers are treated fairly and with respect.

We desire to have workers who are disciplined and have a good work ethic. Our system of pay is great for those who want to work and make money.

We look forward to working with each of our field workers this summer. We consider it a privilege and blessing to be a part of each of these worker’s lives.
