Onboarding and Training Farm Employees with Google Classroom

February 3, 2021


ave you ever wished there was a better way to organize paperwork, training materials, and business information to share with new employees? Could your farm provide a better employee onboarding experience if more than one person had access to the onboarding materials?

Many farmers struggle to provide a consistent experience to all new employees because it is difficult to organize all the necessary information. Google Classroom is a free online platform that farmers can use to store and organize information to streamline the onboarding process and help managers provide a positive experience for new employees.

As part of the Onboarding Dairy Farm Employees project, Cornell Ag Workforce Development and Cornell Cooperative Extension have created a Google Classroom template for farmers who are curious about this software. In this 30 minute training, you will learn how to navigate Google Classroom and customize the template with documents and training materials from your farm.

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
