Beck’s integrates DriftWatch into FARMserver

ATLANTA, Ind. — Beck’s Hybrids will integrate DriftWatch into its FARMserver this year, in partnership with FieldWatch.

With the DriftWatch integration, farmers can see local, high value specialty crops and pollinator habitats.

“Farmers are called to be stewards of the land,” said Scott Beck, president at Beck’s. “This investment supports that effort in steward leadership.”
