Agricultural Labor Survey: Help Us to Help You!
Do you manage employees on a farm? Do you need help recruiting and retaining good staff? Please take a brief survey and share important feedback that will help CCE develop improved resources for farm managers. The Cornell Small Farms Program, Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture Team, the Lake Ontario Fruit Program and the Cornell Farmworker Program are partners in this initiative.
Participants can enter to win either a $100 gift certificate for Tractor Supply or a free Cornell Small Farms on-line agricultural course of their choice in the coming year. One winner will be selected for every 50 participants.
Growing a great workforce can result in long-term benefits for your business. Share your management challenges and successes to help us develop effective management tools, such as on-line courses and videos, plain language guides, and workshops.
