Beck’s Hybrids expects good seed supply for ‘25

The central region business manager for Beck’s Hybrids says the company expects adequate seed supplies for 2025.

Clint Prange tells Brownfield…

“Seed production looks very good right now.”  He says, “We even ramped up production that much more coming off of last year because we had such high demand to make sure that we have enough supply to take care of customer’s needs.”

He says it’s generally been a good growing season for the company’s production acres.

“Illinois looks pretty good.”  He says, “There are some holes in some areas with too much rainfall.  Then covering Missouri and Kansas, I mean, there’s a lot of variation across there as well too. But at the end of the day, whenever you have a lot of rainfall and you have a lot of cool weather in the month of August, that usually can pan out for some good yields.”

Prange says Beck’s specifically expanded production of rootworm-traited corn hybrids this year due to high farmer demand.
