Qualifications Who We’re Looking For

Are you a Junior or Senior undergraduate in Agronomy or Agribusiness who’s eager to learn and make an impact?

Key Responsibilities You won’t just be helping with projects—you’ll be driving real improvements and leaving your mark on the future of production.

Get hands-on with data: Use field tablets and software to collect and analyze information—everything from stand counts and flowering notes to turning field observations into measurable insights.

Collaborate & communicate: Share project updates with Production and Production Research leaders, highlighting progress, challenges, and new opportunities.

Own a project from start to finish: Partner with leaders to design and complete a production improvement project, then showcase your findings to senior leaders at the end of your internship.
