SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Without a viable labor force agriculture as we know it may cease to exist. The Labor session at the 2017 Empire State Producers Expo on January 18 has been developed to encourage conversation about the labor sources that we have and what information and services are available to farmers seeking farm labor.

Mary Jo Dudley, Director of the Cornell Farmworker Program, will be giving an overview of a collaborative project between Cornell, farmers and their workers, to develop culturally appropriate training tools that can bridge differences between cultures and strengthen the workforce. In addition, Laura Cardoso and Belen Ledzema, agriculture labor specialists for the NYS Department of Labor, will give an introduction to the NYS Department of Labor Employment Services and programs they have in place for agriculture producers. Topics will include the H-2A Program, recruiting assistance and referrals to the NYS Career Centers, supplementing your labor, and time available to answer any questions related to agricultural labor in New York State.

This Expo session was organized by Megan Burley, CCE Erie County.
