I wanted to add a post showing just of a few of the things I have done since starting at Lucky Farmers.
Month: May 2017
Week Three
Week three of my internship has been exciting, because I am starting to do more things and take on more tasks. On Monday I worked on redoing my seed guide that I had lost. For lunch my supervisor and I went and talked to the companies promotional product specialist to go over the hand out merchandise we wanted to order. I got all the corn pages remade and by Tuesday after noon I was caught back up. Tuesday morning I had the opportunity to talk to fifth graders from Woodmore Elementary and take them on a tour of the seed facilities in Graytown. The students had a lot of fun, and we even got to show them the drone. I have a passion for teaching students about agriculture and showing them what all we can do. We then talked to them about jobs in agriculture and of course I told them about CFAES. Then on Wednesday I finished the seed guides wheat section and started putting comparison graphs together. Thursday the hats we ordered came in and I put them in boxes to send out to different locations so all employees have a hat. I also picked out the picture that will be going on the seed depth gauge that all our agronomist will carry. Today, Friday, I am working on the seed guide and also looking at mugs that Luckey Farmers is considering to order for clients. This week has been great, and I cannot wait to see what next week has in store.
Week Two
Week two was a great week, because I got to meet more people. This week we got to work with CFAES extension for Ottawa County extension through Woodmore Schools. We went to real world real money and helped students learn how to budget money on a monthly pay check. This week I also continued to work on my seed guide, and when I went to hit save on my seed guide the entire thing disappeared because of a system error. I was so upset when this happened, but my supervisor said things like this happen all the time and to get use to it, which actually made me feel better about the situation. I am learning to work with indesign well, and my supervisor is awesome at helping me with any questions I have. Next week Woodmore third grade is coming to tour the main office and the seed plant. I am looking forward to spending a day teaching the future about agriculture. I am also hoping that restarting the seed guide will not be to painful!
First full week
This week was my first full week at Luckey Farmers, Inc. I truly learned a lot this week and realized that if I had to do this job for the rest of my life I would be happy. My first day I got to meet everyone, and do first day things and start the seed guide. Tuesday I made the new Logo for the Berkey berkey_3-txi5iu branch which will go on all of the phones. Wednesday I got to visit the Gray Town Branch and see the fertilizer plants and meet people from the devision, while also working on the seed guide. Thursday I was able to work on the seed guide all day and create 5 covers for the administration to pick from. On Friday I went to the Bradner branch and took photos of the award winning branch for sustainability, then I turned the Perrysburg brach and went back after lunch to work on the seed guide. I am excited to see what my future days hold at Luckey Farmers.
First Day!
Today I started my internship at Luckey Farmers, Inc. I started the day by getting to meet all the people who work in the office and other new interns. I learned about all the jobs that go into running a grain company. I set up my email account to get all the information that I need to create the design catalog. I enjoy all the people I get to work with and I cannot wait to see what my summer has in store for me.
