The little details can make a big difference in ensuring we can apply products to your fields efficiently and accurately. That’s why we spend time perfecting the details we can control before the season begins.

Calibrating Our Dry Spreaders

Every year, the start of our fall season is marked by a day in September spent setting our dry-spreading equipment and applicators up for success (so we can deliver the most accurate application to you). We gather our dry spreaders from our Hills, Wellman and Fairfax locations all in one field accompanied by our agronomy operations team to ensure products are being applied with the utmost accuracy across our growers’ fields since we apply a variety of dry products with different bulk densities.

Several aspects of how Beck’s brings soybean seed to the farmer set them apart in the industry.

First, Beck’s packages their soybeans at 130,000 seeds per bag. Why? Within the soybean seed production industry, one factor that limits the genetic options for farmers is seed size. If a soybean variety consistently produces large beans to the point where 140,000 seeds may not fit in a bag, that variety is often not selected; even if that variety is the highest yielding, most agronomically sound soybean, most companies will pass on it just because its large seeds will not fit in their bags.
