Beck’s, the largest family-owned retail seed company in the United States, today announced the acquisition of the Mid-State soybean processing facility in Marshall, Missouri, further expanding its commitment to farmers across the region.

The facility, located on approximately 12 acres, features state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure designed to support efficient seed conditioning and distribution. The site is expected to process up to 1 million units annually and include more than 400,000 bushels of storage capacity. “Beck’s has a longstanding familiarity with this facility and its infrastructure having worked with Mid-State Seed to clean and package for us over the last several years”, said Jim Herr, processing/inventory/wholesale manager of Beck’s.

“Missouri will likely be our number one state in soybean growth over the 2025 and 2026 seasons,” said Scott Beck, president of Beck’s. “By investing in high-quality infrastructure and elevating our footprint in this region, we’re investing to support the significant demand for our products by farmers in Missouri, Iowa and west.”

The facility includes approximately 150,000 square feet of warehouse space and an additional 5,000 square feet of office space. Mid-State employees will have the opportunity to interview for roles with Beck’s at the facility as operations transition.

“We appreciate the contributions of the Mid-State team over the years and their role in supporting this operation. After careful evaluation, we determined that our relationships with contract seed processors deliver the best strategy for MFA to provide seed genetics that fit our customers’ needs,” said Jason Weirich, chief operating officer for MFA Incorporated. “Sale of the facility allows us to responsibly transition this operation while maintaining continuity for our customers.”

This announcement follows Beck’s continued growth efforts to expand service capabilities and provide farmers with high-quality seed, agronomic insights and practical solutions tailored to their needs.
