Gregorio Billikopf Encina (Gregory Encina Billikopf) is a Labor Management Farm Advisor with the University of California. His agricultural extension research and teaching efforts have focused on such topics as employee selection, compensation, performance appraisal, discipline and termination, supervision, interpersonal relations, conflict resolution, and negotiation skills. Billikopf is author of Labor Management in Ag: Cultivating Personnel Productivity (1994) as well as chapters in Large Dairy Herd Management (1992) and Small Farm Handbook (1994).
As a farm advisor since 1981, Gregory has been a guest speaker throughout the United States, as well as in Russia, México, Canada, Uganda, and his native Chile. He was awarded the 1989 Achievement Award by the National Association of County Agricultural Agents. Gregory has a BS in Plant Science from UC Davis, and a Human Resource Management MA from CSU Stanislaus. He serves San Joaquín, Stanislaus, and Merced counties.
Billikopf's maternal family have been grape growers in Chile for generations. It is at the labor intensive family vineyard, where Gregory spent much of his youth, that he first developed an interest in labor issues, horses and agriculture.
While doing a search in the internet, Billikopf found that this interest in labor management also runs in the family. His paternal grandfather, Jacob Billikopf, is listed as a "notable arbitrator" whose writings are included in the Cornell University School of Industrial Relations' Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation and Archive. You may read additional biographical information on Jacob Billikopf, including his interest in labor relations, at the Kansas City Public Library and the AJA.
Gregory and Linda Billikopf make their home in Modesto, California, and are the parents of four children. Gregory has been a dressage (equestrian sports) rider and instructor (and is author of A Passion for Dressage), an amateur radio operator, and a youth soccer referee. More recently, his deep love for the Scriptures has occupied much of his free time.
