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.

Memoir Reading: Barn Gothic

December 4, 2025
Bath, NY

Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together

December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY

We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.

At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
