(NOTE: There's a four-minute gap just past the 31-minute point in this presentation that's blank, because our host, Chris, had an electrical storm and power failure during the recording. He jumped back on as soon as his internet rebooted and got things rolling again. So when you get there, just scroll ahead 4 minutes to where it picks back up. And ignore the odd fact that Chris switched sides on the screen.)

Growscape CEO Ed Cooper joins GrowerTalks Editor-in-Chief Chris Beytes for a practical conversation about the operational challenges growers and suppliers are navigating today, from peak-season volatility and product availability to forecasting, sustainability requirements, and rising production costs.

Ed will share how one of the industry’s largest suppliers of containers, planters and growing systems is approaching supply planning, domestic manufacturing, customer collaboration and service reliability in a changing market. Topics they’ll discuss will include reducing supply chain disruptions during peak season, improving communication and forecasting between growers and suppliers, and investments in domestic manufacturing and infrastructure. They’ll also explore practical approaches to sustainability through Growscape’s EarthSafe platform, including ReSource, ReTerra, and ReAssure.

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions live during the discussion, so be sure to sign up now!
