Córdova (right), his wife Glendia and Randy Woodson, the Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture. The 20,000-square-foot Beck Agricultural Center, which will provide facilities for educational opportunities for all ages was dedicated Wednesday (Oct. 31) at Purdue University's agronomy farm. The $5.2 million building was financed with a major gift from the Beck family of Atlanta, Ind., combined with Purdue College of Agriculture development funds. The family owns and operates Beck's Hybrids, a seed company founded in 1937. (Purdue University photo by Tom Campbell.)
