Beck’s expands with new facility in Minnesota

OLIVIA, Minn. — Beck’s announced that construction is underway for a new 96,000-square-foot facility in south-central Minnesota, in addition to the existing research and breeding program base. It is expected to be completed by next spring.

It will provide sales support, a farm shop, a warehouse, cold storage, a dock and an expanded Practical Farm Research site.

On the PFR site, 100 acres will offer space for more than 40 replicated studies to be conducted on topics like iron deficiency chlorosis and soybean planting date by maturity.

“At Beck’s, we remain committed to helping farmers succeed by providing high-yielding products, localized agronomic support and research-driven insights,” said Scott Beck, president of the seed company.

“This new facility in Olivia enhances our ability to deliver on that promise, giving farmers in the northern Corn Belt access to even more valuable information and resources.”
