Key Updates: The landscape of ag labor is always changing, and the farms that we work with are challenged to adapt rapidly. As educators, we need to be aware of these changes and adaptations to best support our audience. We'll hear from Rich Stup, CCE Ag Workforce Development, and Jason Karszes, PRO-DAIRY, as they share this vital information.
Create Connections: We're all working as hard as we can to meet demanding expectations and ever changing community needs. This can sometimes lead to work silos and isolation. We'll provide opportunities to network and build relationships with other extension professionals whose work touches on agricultural labor management, and foster collaboration.
Brainstorm Solutions: With so many great minds in the same room, we'll provide facilitated time to share and increase awareness of existing/upcoming extension programs and resources for improving labor management on farms. We'll also work together to identify needs and future areas for research and extension work related to agricultural labor management.
Light lunch and refreshments provided.
This event is intended for Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University educators who spend a large portion of their work effort on issues related to agricultural labor.

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.
