Beck's Hybrids

As we gather around the table, let's remember that the best moments are the ones spent together. Wishing everyone a Thanksgiving full of warmth, good food, and even better company. 🍂🦃💛

We’re thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of our NEW soybean processing facility in New Madrid, Missouri! 🌱 As the largest family-owned retail seed company in the U.S., Beck’s is expanding to meet the growing demand for soybeans in the Mid-South region! This facility will create more opportunities for local farmers, boost Missouri’s ag industry, and bring even more value to the community. 🤝 A special shoutout from Governor Mike Parson 🗣️: “We’re proud to welcome Beck’s to the Show-Me State as they announce this exciting new facility in New Madrid. As a business owner and third-generation farmer, I’m thrilled to see an agricultural leader like Beck’s making such a significant investment in our state. This company’s presence in New Madrid will support the area’s economy, benefit local farmers, and further strengthen Missouri agriculture as a whole.” Thank you, Missouri, for welcoming us! Together, we’re growing the future of agriculture! Read the full press release here: https://bit.ly/3CiZsRC

Today, we pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served in our armed forces. Your bravery and commitment inspire us all. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay #LandOfTheFree #BecauseOfTheBrave

Perspective shapes reality. The way we see things can turn obstacles into opportunities and challenges into growth. What a privilege it is to do what we love each day. ✨

After working with Beck's Hybrids on their Salina, KS facility, they asked our team to build a nearly identical 100,000 SF distribution facility in Olivia, MN. The Salina project is coming to a close soon, and it’s looking great! We’ve recently just kicked off the Minnesota project, and it will look very similar to what you’re seeing in these pictures below of the Salina project. Both facilities are made of three Behlen Building Systems buildings—large storage units that serve multiple purposes. These buildings house cold/bulk storage, and they will also function as trucking distribution centers and offices. Both facilities will continue helping Beck’s to better serve farmers across the Midwest.

Creating culture is the opposite of control; the one thing you can control as a leader is who you bring into the company.

It's a powerful discussion full of advice, tips and thoughts from a leader who has been a part of the journey transforming Beck's into America's largest privately-held retail seed brand.

"In farming, quitting isn't an option. You work long hours, sometimes all night, just to beat that storm that you know is headed your way. But you work hard to get the job done because when you love what you do, it isn't really work." - Sonny Beck Happy #NationalFarmersDay! 💛🚜

The Beck's Hybrids seed corn production season is steadily moving toward completion with about 70% of the fields near Mount Pleasant, IA harvested as of Oct. 9. With harvest in full swing, Beck’s provided Seed Today Editor Chris Lusvardi with a look at the work being done to pick the seed corn from the fields and begin processing it at their facility in Mount Pleasant as the Ride Between the Rows series continues: https://shorturl.at/RCPvG

Earlier this week, Scott Beck spoke at the Reuters Transform Food and Agriculture event in Minnesota, participating in a session titled "Relationship-First Approach and its Role in High-Value Markets". The session was moderated by Mitch Frazier, President and CEO of AgriNovus Indiana, and also included partner at Bryant Agricultural Enterprise, Kasey Bryant. What a great discussion it was, expanding on how a service-first culture encourages partnerships with farmers to improve profitability through premium opportunities for identity-preserved (IP) and climate-smart crops. We are always thankful for the opportunity to connect with others in our industry while continuing to expand our knowledge on how we can help farmers succeed! ✨
