Beck’s Hybrids will be
hosting its annual agronomic meetings featuring agronomic
insights and industry trends during the month of January.
Farmers from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois may
attend any of the 35 complimentary meetings at a location near
them.
In 1964, Beck’s Hybrids started conducting Practical Farm
Research studies designed to learn valuable agronomic practices
that farmers could take back and use on their own farms. Over
the years, Beck’s Practical Farm Research program has expanded
to include over 300 acres of practical farm research at three
(3) different locations. Each year Beck’s shares the results
with farmers through printed material, the company website,
educational tours, and annual agronomic meetings.
A few of the agronomic topics that will be covered this year
are: When is the best time to spray fungicides on soybeans? Can
traited corn produce higher yields with higher planting
populations? Does strip-till pay? How did LibertyLink® soybeans
yield? How much nitrogen can I apply and still have an economic
return? Learn the economics of replanting, and more. Plus,
farmers will learn more about the trends in the seed industry
and the exciting technologies in the pipeline for corn and
soybeans.
Featured speakers include Beck’s Practical Farm Research
Directors as well as Beck’s sales and agronomic staff. Scott
Beck, Vice President and Beck’s Practical Farm Research Manager
says, “Our annual agronomic meetings, also known as winter
customer meetings, are a good tradition which enables us to
bring timely, relevant agronomic insights and industry trends to
farmers. It’s a nice forum to offer highlights from what we have
recently learned in our Practical Farm Research.”
Space is limited on these free agronomic meetings and
reservations are requested, so register soon. Farmers may go to
