Beck’s Plans New Madrid, Missouri, Soybean Processing Operations

11/27/2024
Retail seed company Beck’s plans to establish soybean processing operations in New Madrid, Missouri. The project is expected to create 17 jobs.

The new 60,000-square-foot facility will help the company meet the growing demand in the Mid-South region. Production is scheduled to begin by Fall 2026.

“We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Mid-South and put down roots in the New Madrid community,” said Scott Beck, President of Beck’s. “This new facility represents our ongoing commitment to serving farmers by providing them with high-quality soybean products and elite customer service. We look forward to building strong partnerships in the area and supporting the growth of the agricultural industry for years to come.”

To support the project Beck’s will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.

“Beck’s decision to establish a footprint in New Madrid, bringing with it jobs and investment, creates excitement and new opportunities for Missourians to prosper,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “Team DED is proud to support Beck’s, and we are incredibly grateful that they chose southeast Missouri for their new location.”

Beck's is the largest family-owned retail seed company and the third-largest seed brand in the U.S., serving farmers throughout the Midwest and Mid-South.

“Missouri’s deep-rooted history in soybean production, paired with our robust infrastructure and skilled workforce, makes it the perfect location for Beck’s to grow and succeed,” added Subash Alias, CEO of Missouri Partnership. “This investment highlights our state’s leadership in the industry and reinforces Missouri’s role as a critical hub for feeding and fueling the world.”
