This week, Beck’s Hybrids held their inaugural Media Day in Atlanta, Indiana. Ohio Ag Net’s Ty Higgins made the trek across I-70 and found out about the expansion at Beck’s facilities and learned more about their plans for the recently purchased land in London, Ohio.

 

Scott Beck talks with Ty about the upgrades at Beck’s Hybrids and about the concern of a possible seed shortage if things stay dry.
