They represent a range of career interests as well – agronomy, seed, crop protection, communications, logistics, structures, accounting, turf, dairy nutrition, precision farming, agri-finance, marketing, and grain.”
The GROWMARK intern program began in 1959 with three interns. Since then, 685 students have been involved in the program. “We are currently hiring an average of 50-70 percent of our summer interns into full-time employment throughout the System,” German said.
