Agronomic Observations with Advanced Agrilytics

Hello everyone! My name is Luke Foxworthy, and this past summer I worked with Advanced Agrilytics as a Field Specialist Intern. In this role, I scouted fields and sent reports and pictures to growers across west-central Indiana. I enjoyed seeing both the common issues that many growers face as well as unique challenges that required input from an agronomist. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue an internship in precision agriculture next summer, and I’m excited to connect with employers at the career fair on October 7th. One thing I really value about Purdue is how well it prepares students for these opportunities—the Department of Agronomy makes drafting and reviewing a résumé, talking with employers, and preparing for interviews a smooth process.
