December 22, 2008 Beck's Hybrids will be hosting their 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 here to learn about meeting locations and to register to attend. Beck's Hybrids is a family-owned and operated seed company that serves farmers throughout Indiana, Illinois, and select counties in Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. According to a recent media survey, Beck's ranks as the sixth largest seed company in the United States and the only one in the top six that is family-owned, making Beck's the largest retail family-owned seed company in the U.S.
