Data from Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR) indicates using the proper closing wheel provides up to a 5.1 bushel per acre advantage in corn and a 2.5 bushel per acre advantage in soybeans. The study compared five different aftermarket closing wheels.

The expansion adds 4 million acres of corn and 1.8 million acres of soybeans to the current sales territory. Beck’s previous sales presence encompassed the eastern third of the state.
