Ball Announces Virtual CAST Experience

While Ball Horticultural Company’s Santa Paula location is closed to the public due to shelter-in-place regulations, would-be Spring Trials attendees are welcome to tune in digitally to explore new products on display at the Ball stop. Two webinar dates and times will be available for your convenience.

Ball’s new-product experts will host SimulCAST20, a virtual California Spring Trials experience, on Tuesday, March 31 (9:30 to 11:30 a.m. CDT), and Wednesday, April 1 (2:30 to 4:30 p.m. CDT). These two dates and time options are available for your convenience — and safety! — to participate in this digital experience right from your home or office.

SimulCAST20 will feature new product presentations, video footage and live, interactive Q&A opportunities with the experts from the following plant breeding companies: PanAmerican Seed, Kieft Seed, Wave, Ball FloraPlant, Selecta One, Darwin Perennials, Ball Ingenuity and Burpee.

“With social distance the new normal, providing our customers a chance to experience new products conveniently was a high priority for our companies,” says Susannah Ball, Spring Trials coordinator for Ball Horticultural Co. “Access to new product information via SimulCAST20 will help growers and distributors plan their upcoming seasons.”
