Our mission is to help farmers and agribusiness professionals develop committed and effective teams. We believe that agricultural work can, and should, be engaging and rewarding for everyone involved, and that all managers can learn to apply the best human resource management practices.
The Becker Forum, a key event for agriculture professionals, will be held on Wednesday, January 14 at Jordan Hall on the Cornell AgriTech campus.
