“It was the best turnout we’ve ever had,” says Jim Ballerstein, the research support specialist who manages the processing vegetable trials.
Attendees included representatives from processing and seed companies, including the top three vegetable seed companies in the world, adds Ballerstein.
The cutting included samples of 50 pea cultivars, 55 snap beans (canned and frozen), and 63 sweet corns (frozen kernel and whole ear).
