Beck's, the largest family-owned retail seed company in the U.S., announced the groundbreaking of its new soybean processing facility in New Madrid, Missouri.
The state-of-the-art facility will help meet the growing demand for soybeans in the mid-South region, expanding opportunities for local farmers and strengthening Beck's commitment to serving the agricultural community.
Situated on 105.5 acres, the facility will cover 60,000 square feet and have a processing capacity of 3 million units of soybeans per year. The facility will also feature additional warehouse space and seed storage, ensuring that Beck's can effectively meet the needs of farmers in the area. Construction will be completed in phases, with the first phase expected to be finished by December 2024. The facility is projected to be fully operational by fall 2026. In its first year, it will create 17 new jobs, bringing a welcome boost to the local economy.
This facility marks another significant step in Beck's mission to provide innovative solutions and service to farmers across the United States. As demand for soybeans continues to rise, Beck's continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to support the future of farming.
Beck's partnered with Missouri Partnership, the city of New Madrid, the New Madrid County Commission, Liberty Utilities, the Missouri Department of Economic Development, and the state of Missouri to bring this new facility to New Madrid. This collaboration will enhance Beck's ability to attract investment and create jobs in the New Madrid community, further contributing to the region's agricultural development and economic vitality.
