Product and Program Guide-1

Farming is a calling that few have the honor of answering. It’s a calling to work the long hours, make sacrifices for the greater good, and rise to every challenge. It’s that same calling that drives each of us to do all we can to help you succeed, and that is what makes Beck’s different. Our story began in 1937 with six acres of hybrid parent seed corn. Now, as the largest family-owned, retail seed company and the third largest seed brand in the United States, we strive to remain true to our heritage. A heritage built on the hard work, faith, and innovation of our family and family of employees. We have more than 660 full-time employees and over 860 dealers, each with their own unique story and background, who work to help farmers succeed through their time, talent, and passion. Whether they grew up on a farm, they still farm, or have no farming background at all, they have one thing in common. They are all farmers at heart. For us, being your seed supplier means more than delivering a high-yielding product. It’s a commitment to providing you with the tools to help you succeed. Scott Beck, Pres
