Becks Superior Hybrids
http://www.beckshybrids.com/
We are farmers, just like you. The big difference is why
we farm. While you may farm to provide products for consumption
or industrial use, we farm to provide you with the best
researched and documented field and product information
available. We then use that information to provide you with
what we believe to be the best seed products available anywhere.
With research fields in Indiana, Western Ohio, Eastern Illinois,
Southern Michigan and North-Western Kentucky, we not only
have the ability to identify what products work best in
those areas, but also, what techniques and what considerations
need to be used in those areas. We have dedicated ourselves
to helping our customers maximize their fields potential
by providing them with the best seed products along with
the most practical and reliable information available anywhere.
It's as simple as that.
We are scientists. Specializing in all aspects of agronomics.
While we may not be the "overseer" of the public
lands as the early Greek definition of agronomist indicates,
we do ensure we have the knowledge and experience available
to help you maintain your lands at their peak levels of
performance. At Beck's, We maintain a working relationship
with several leading research firms in order to obtain superior
parent seed lines and access to genetically improved lines.
Our own research department uses this as well as their own
research and development results to provide our customers
with products matched to their needs and conditions.
We are family. With over 60 years experience, we know that
in order to offer the best, you have to be the best. To
our family and employees "team" is not just an
abstract concept designed by some upscale human relations
department. It's a fact of life. From the President to our
delivery people, we all take great pride in working together
to provide you with only the best products and service available.
While others may believe they need to offer services and
information in order to stay competitive, We at Beck's believe
its our RESPONSIBILITY to provide our customers with the
most accurate and up-to-date services and information available.
Here at Beck's, our team knows that sometimes good just
isn't good enough. No company ever got to be great by just
being good. They became great only after going that extra
mile.

Mission Statement
This mission statement is devised as a foundation guideline
to lay out the general reasons that the partners own and
operate this business. It serves to answer the basic question
of "Why does this business exist?" Therefore,
this should be referred to periodically for a guideline
in business planning and decision making. It is also important
for employees and staff members to be aware of and understand
these basic goals and how they are involved. It will also
be important for professional people working with the farm

1. PROFIT The primary responsibility of any business, along
with the management and individual employees, is to make
a profit. Profit is absolutely essential for the very existence
of any business on a long-term basis. Profits need to be
obtained in order to keep all expenses and debt payments
current, provide a good standard of living for partners

equity. Business profit needs to be a primary concern of
each and every member of the Eastview team in order to ensure
that the business survives and prospers for many years to
come. A profitable business not only benefits the owners,
but also the employees, agri-business, suppliers, and the
community in general.

any business. The business needs to be managed to serve
the needs of the owners and employees. Major emphasis must

off-farm interests.
D) Keep farm organized and operated on the basis of a team
structure and keep everyone as involved as possible. All
team members will treat each other with proper respect and
recognition.

and growth, and provide opportunity for "Each individual
to become all they are capable of being."
3. LEADER Eastview Farms will strive to be a leader in
the local, state, and national dairy industry. This can
be monitored by keeping most financial, efficiency, size,
performance and other measures and comparisons within the
top 10% of the New York State dairy industry. By accomplishing
this, we will always be competitive within the industry,
regardless of the current economy. Leadership will also
be enhanced by striving for a good business image, reputation,
and relations with neighbors and the local community. At

environment for our animals. Cattle will be cared for in

in harmony with our community and the environment around
us. We feel that a progressive farm can be operated with
concern and consideration for the environment and neighbors.
4. HAVE FUN We feel that it is very important for the partners
and staff members to have fun doing what we do. The basic
goal is to have every person involved with this farm to
get up in the morning looking forward to going to work.
Efforts will be made to provide interesting challenges and
opportunities for people to grow and learn and work toward
their goals. We will maintain a related atmosphere with
major emphasis on the team concept. Communication between
everyone will be encouraged and enhanced. Undue stresses
will be avoided as much as possible. It is important to
