Becks has a large Bayer line of corn. It may be larger than their Corteva ( Pioneer ) corn now. They source from the big 3. Not just Corteva
With that kind of lineup I’d say they are more a marketing company than seed company
I have varying opinions on Becks, but that doesn’t take away from the fact they have the ability to have one of the better and most diverse lineups from one company if they are able to source the right genetics and place them properly. If you’re a Becks dealer you can basically be a Corteva, bayer, and Syngenta dealer on corn (I’ll just reference corn in this). And as a customer access all also. And for their toy program it’s a good deal to have Enough access to diverse germplasm to be a one stop shop. It’s honestly a good plan for them. Monsanto (bayer now) had the advantage in my opinion about 10 years ago in my area, I now feel Corteva has that advantage. As a Becks dealer and customer you’d be able to stay with the same dealer and company in that “transition period”.
And no I do not plant or sell Becks
Edit to add: I forgot I did plant 12 bags of Becks beans this year to finish up a farm. They yielded comparatively to the beans next to them.
