B.E.V. NY - New York's premier grape & wine education event of the year
B.E.V. NY is the annual grape and wine conference presented by Cornell's Finger Lakes Grape Program and the Enology Extension Laboratory. The conference consists of three days of programming, each one focused on a different aspect of the industry: Business. Enology. Viticulture. B.E.V. NY. The conference invites academic and industry experts to present information that addresses important issues for the industry, and to do so in a way that provides practical information to those who attend, and which can help
In addition to the conference, we host a trade show where exhibitors can talk directly with owners, sales and marketing staff, winemakers and grape growers, about their latest products and services. More than 400 people attend B.E.V. NY each year, so if you want to reach the growers, winemakers and business leaders in the dynamic and expanding grape and wine industry of the Finger Lakes and New York, there is no better place to be than at B.E.V.

Also included is a tipsheet intended for farm workers (https://agriculture.ny.gov/covid-19-prevention-tips-farmworkers). This document is presently in English but should be available in more languages soon, and I recommend that you distribute it to all employees. Please carefully read the last section of the document titled "Empower Yourself," this section informs workers about how to file complaints. Make sure that your business is in full compliance with all federal and state COVID-19-related sick leave and paid family leave requirements and that you are communicating this information to employees, see this post (https://agworkforce.cals.cornell.edu/2020/04/01/covid-19-employee-leave-and-farm-employers/) for more information.
