Tim Hladik was born and raised west of Hennessey by Delbert and the late JoAnn Hladik. Delbert and JoAnn raised three children on the farm (Chris, Tim and Jeremy). Tim was among a handful of (Lacey) kids that carpooled together to half day Kindergarten- let’s just say memories were made with that crew! Once in high school, Tim played football for the Eagles and was one of Hennessey’s Powerlifters. Tim was always up to have a little fun, example being – getting hypnotized at his senior prom.
Tim graduated Hennessey High School in 1995. After graduation he went to work for Lowes and worked for them for 8 years. In the meantime, Tim had the opportunity to buy his first farm, and he bought a farm in 1999. Tim worked on the farm evenings and weekends with his parents. While working on the farm, in 2003 he started selling farm equipment for Enid New Holland and later for Rother Brothers. Tim sold equipment for 15 years, while still working and growing the family farm. On March 15, 2007 Tim married Tonia and they have been married for almost 18 years. They have three children Gracie, Madelyn and Tristin. In 2018, Tim and Tonia had the opportunity to start TNT Seed. TNT Seed buys rye from local farmers, cleans, packages and ships to 18 states. TNT Seed also exports rye to South Korea and Japan. Tim enjoys spending time on the family farm and with his family. Tim’s parents set an example, making sure the children knew how to prioritize…Faith, Family, Work. With a great example to go by it is no surprise Tim instills these great qualities into his children. He has a hard work ethic, loves his family, kind- always smiling, humble and always has a willingness to help others. If you get a chance he has done great things with TNT Seed, stop in and say hello. AAH, Shelley Muzny
