This week Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick is joined by Kevin Cavanaugh, Director of Research for Beck's Hybrids. Kevin's first introduction to corn breeding was with detasseling—a summer job many teenagers dread but that the 14-year-old loved and used to launch his career. His labor of love turned into a full-time career after he earned a Ph.D. in plant breeding from Purdue University. No matter what, he knew he wanted to be involved in ag—plant breeding was a fortunate find that combined his interest in science and math with his love for the outdoors. After graduating with his doctorate, Cavanaugh joined Beck’s, where he’s prospered for the past 25 years.
