Beck's History of Raising 300 Bushel Corn:

 

What does it take to raise 300 bushel corn? This was a question asked nearly 30 years ago by our farmer customers. Beck's responded by adding the 300 Bushel Attempt Practical Farm Research Study. Since the question was asked, we have successfully hit the 300 bushel goal 5 years.

2010: Beck 6077HR™* = 304.7 Bu./A.

2009: Beck 6733HXR™* = 320.7 Bu./A.

2008: Beck 6733HXR™* = 332.4 Bu./A.

2007: Beck 6733 = 302.9 Bu./A.

1994: Beck 5405 = 308.1 Bu./A.

In 2009, we developed the Beck 300 Challenge. The ojective is to challenge growers to break 300 bushels on their farm, partner with them to greatly improve yields, and create awareness that 300 bushels per acre is possible.
