The CEO of the largest family-owned retail seed company says its Nebraska headquarters will be ready to serve farmers for the 2023 growing season.
Sonny Beck tells Brownfield the location, near the eastern town of Goehner will help provide farmers with Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR). “All the things we’ll be testing – different kinds of irrigation to drip to overhead to spot irrigation. Other tests like population studies. There will also be studies on whether to spray early or late with this particular chemical.”
He says they’ll crossbreed different hybrids, which will be available at the site for farmers to see.
