Across the Acres Beck's Hybrids

Serving such a large customer base is not always easy. Check out Episode 35 of Across the Acres to learn more about Beck's Sign Shop Manager, Brandon Ricks, what drives him creatively, and how he's worked to master the art of being an extroverted introvert to deliver quality service and exceptional work for Beck's.

In 2024, Beck's employees and dealers have committed to embarking on a journey to become Unstoppable Together. But what drove our Leadership Team to challenge each of us to continue sowing the seeds of a positive culture despite our continued growth and success? Listen in as Scott Beck sits down with world-renowned author and public figure Andy Andrews to discuss how this cultural investment will help us grow in ways that benefit us as a collective and as individuals in all areas of life.

Usually the man behind the camera, our ATA producer and Beck’s Videographer, Morgan Fitch, sits down with David for Episode 32 of #AcrossTheAcres. Listen as he shares how his passion for all things videography, animation, and photography led him to joining our team in 2019.

Ben Orebaugh, Trait Introgression Breeder for Beck’s, began his career with Beck’s in 1999. In 2012, he took a leap of faith, resigned from his role as Lead Corn Breeder, and moved to Africa.


After five years in Africa, he moved home and accepted a new role with Beck’s, working in the research department on trait conversions. But this episode of Across the Acres isn’t about what Ben does today. It’s about the life-changing experience that got him to where he is today — an experience breeding beyond borders.

Proud mom, grandma, and Michigander, Shelley Bryant joins David for Episode 31 of #AcrossTheAcres. Listen as she shares the unexpected ways God guided them on their journey to becoming apart of the Beck’s family of dealers.
