ELLICOTTVILLE – Cornell Cooperative Extension officials are trying to help local farm owners better understand new sexual harassment prevention regulations that go into effect next month.

Walley-Stoll will discuss the regulations and associated deadlines, resources available to farm employers, and understanding compliance for your business.


Each event will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., will supply a light lunch and handouts.

Minimum participation is 5 farms for each location, and maximum is 20 farms. Discussion locations without adequate registrations on the RSVP date will be cancelled.
