There are many questions about and much interest in the agricultural workforce in New York. My colleagues in Cornell’s Dyson School, Jenny Ifft and Tom Maloney, joined me in developing a publication to help answer many of those questions and to capture a snapshot of this large and diverse workforce that is so critical to farms and rural communities. We’ve based our work on the most recent and relevant research we could find and pulled it together in a clear and readable format. Please read and share The State of the Agricultural Workforce in New York. (https://dyson.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/03/Cornell-Dyson-eb1901.pdf)
