INTERN STORIES


"I took part in the Exploring Agriculture Internship. I was able focus a lot of my time on precision technology, while also getting exposure to other areas such as marketing, logistics, nutrient stewardship and more. I was able to fly drones and study aerial imagery, as well as become familiar with some of the software and other technologies available today. This is a great internship for anyone interested in the retail side of agriculture."

"I took part in the GROWMARK Internship Program, where I explored the business side of agriculture. One of the highlights was the mid-summer intern conference, which gave me a big-picture view of how the organization operates and how departments collaborate. The experience helped me understand the value of teamwork and sparked my interest in continuing with GROWMARK full-time. This is a great internship for anyone eager to learn, ask questions, and grow through hands-on exposure to the ag industry!"

"I took part in the GROWMARK Internship Program, where I worked on financial credit accounts, completed Excel spreads, processed credit applications, and researched how market conditions impact the credit department. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was meeting over 30 people across GROWMARK and learning about their career paths. This internship gave me valuable insight into how finance supports agriculture and decision-making."
