The Becker Forum is an annual event that brings together growers, farm managers, and agricultural industry experts for a day of focused learning and discussion.
Designed to address the most pressing issues in the farming community, the forum offers a comprehensive program of sessions aimed at equipping attendees with practical tools and strategies to navigate today’s complex agricultural challenges.
Coordinated by Cornell Ag Workforce Development, the Becker Forum serves as a valuable platform for knowledge sharing and professional development.
It is scheduled to take place just before the 2026 Empire State Expo, hosted by the New York State Vegetable Growers Association, allowing participants to connect with a broader network of industry peers.
The 2026 forum will be held on January 14 at Cornell AgriTech in Jordan Hall, Geneva, New York. Attendees can expect a full day of educational sessions, expert insights, and opportunities to engage with fellow growers and specialists, helping them stay informed and better prepared for the evolving agricultural landscape.
