Wallace was born in 1888 on an Iowa farm. He graduated from Iowa State Agricultural College in 1910 with a B.S. degree in animal husbandry in 1910 and worked on the staff of the nation's leading farm magazine, ''Wallace's Farmer'', which had been founded by his grandfather. He was close to his grandfather, "Uncle Henry" Wallace, who taught the youth the superior virtue of agricultural civilization, the fundamental wisdom of Christian morality as a guide for daily living, the inherent good sense and dignity of common folk, and the need for cooperation and understanding among all peoples.  Early in Henry's life, the Wallace family were good friends with [[George Washington Carver]], and Carver made a profound impact on young Henry's views regarding agronomy.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=tVUnAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA176 The Seven Decisions: Understanding the Keys to Personal Success], Andy Andrews</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=YS6fAAAAIAAJ&q=All+his+life+Henry+Wallace+was+grateful+to+Carver&dq=All+his+life+Henry+Wallace+was+grateful+to+Carver&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwix-_u45_POAhXG5iYKHeycAgEQ6AEIHDAA Century's Ebb: The Thirteenth Chronicle]</ref>

Working independently Wallace made some major contributions to statistics and agronomy, including an innovative use of multiple correlations correlations explaining levels for hogs. He experimented with various strains of corn and produced the first hybrid corn suitable for commercial use. In 1926, Wallace established the Hi-Bred Corn Company, which pioneered an important new industry and in time provided him with substantial financial returns.
