Beck's Head Start Testing Program gives farmers a chance to preview some of the newest varieties a year before they are released. This program also generates valuable information that Beck's Research Department uses for selecting and recommending the top performing products in each region of Beck's marketing area.

Beck's conducts over 100,000 hand pollinations annually to breed inbred corn lines that are specifically adapted to our marketing area. This includes corn breeding nurseries in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

Beck's extensive replicated testing program provides a clear advantage for selecting superior products for our marketing area.
