BECK'S HYBRIDS ACQUIRES LARGE OHIO FARM FOR FUTURE SEED PRODUCTION
Jan. 23, 2013
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
A large, irrigated grain farm in Central Ohio, founded by Les and Carol Imboden nearly 30 years ago has been purchased by Beck's Hybrids.
"With nearly 75 percent of the farms under irrigation and containing mostly higher productivity soils, this purchase is a solid, long-term investment for Beck's and for the benefit of our customers," said Scott Beck, vice president of Beck's Hybrids.
"As we keep growing, it's important that our seed production is diversified in multiple states and environments, to continue providing our customers with the best in seed quality, field performance and service."
Future plans for the Beck-Imboden Farm include seed production, but for the 2013 year, the farm will continue to raise commercial corn and soybeans.
Les Imboden will become an employee of Beck's Hybrids and will remain the general manager of the Beck-Imboden Ohio Farm. Beck's has also hired three full-time employees and one part-time employee.
