If there is a need to replant a field of Beck's elite alfalfa, as determined by a Beck's representative, Beck's will furnish the seed and royalties FREE.

We will attempt to provide the same product for replant as customer originally planted. Substitutions of some products may be necessary. Replant must be planted in the same crop year as originally planted.

Alfalfa and forages are an essential part of nutritional plans for livestock operations. As always, Beck's Hybrids sources the best forages for quality and yield.
