Annual agricultural industry forum will bring together growers, employers, and industry professionals for timely updates on labor, regulations, and emerging agricultural issues.
With an evolving regulatory landscape and continued changes in agricultural labor and workforce management, the Becker Forum provides an opportunity for attendees to hear directly from experts, ask questions, and gain practical information to support their farm operations and businesses.
This year’s program will feature discussions and updates on a range of topics, including:
-
Federal and state labor enforcement, audits, and compliance
- Labor investigations: employer rights and responsibilities
- H-2A program updates, wage rates, and employer best practices
- Agricultural labor law and regulatory updates
- CDL, trucking regulations, and farm vehicle exemptions
- Automation and robotics in agriculture
- Federal policy and legislative updates affecting agriculture
- Workforce quality of life, employee engagement, and retention
Why Attend?
The Becker Forum offers agricultural employers an opportunity to stay informed, prepare for regulatory changes, and connect with others facing similar workforce and operational challenges. Attendees will leave with practical insights, updated information, and resources they can apply to their own farm businesses.
