My Internship with Ohio Corn & Wheat

In November 2014 I began a one-year internship with Ohio Corn & Wheat and what an experience it has been! I worked as a part-time intern throughout the school-year and became full-time in May 2015 for the summer. This was my first full-time job experience! Ohio Corn & Wheat has provided me with opportunities that have allowed me to grow personally, professionally, and even academically.

I’ve spent my time as an intern assisting the staff in various projects such as engagement at the Ohio FFA State Convention, preparing educational curriculum for teachers, working our booth at the Ohio State Fair, writing newsletters, and coordinating a trip to Washington D.C. for 10 of our collegiate members. I have attended several board meetings and have been lucky enough to interact with the farmers that serve as board of directors for Ohio Corn & Wheat.

The opportunities to work with farmers, industry representatives, FFA members, teachers, and others involved in agriculture have assured me that I’m in the right field! My internship with Ohio Corn & Wheat has been full of learning, growing, and discovering new knowledge, skills, interests, and connections. This valuable experience has left me feeling more prepared to educate students about agriculture in the future!

Thanks Tadd, Ellen, Stacie, Brad, Jack, Lisa, Marge, and Ann for a great internship experience!
