Abstract
Graphical Abstract Summary: We surveyed dairy employees to understand their perceptions and educational needs at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey results highlighted that most respondents were somewhat concerned or very concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media was the main source of information for farm workers. A greater percentage of farm managers received formal training on COVID-19 mitigation than entry-level workers, and training was mostly limited to information on posters. However, the preferred form of training delivery was in-person meetings, and in the absence of these, video training (YouTube and break-room videos).
