A “Sunny” Summer and New School Year

This summer I had the opportunity to intern with Becks Hybrids in their production department.This internship was very eye opening to me and is an experience I would recommend to anyone interested in corn production. This internship involved anything from scouting corn/bean fields, doing stand counts, and even getting to conduct yield estimates at the end of the summer. Overall my internship involved me just helping the production department with the process they go through every summer season when producing seed corn. This summer holds a special place in my heart not only did I have a great time working for Becks but I also mad a ton of friends and worked with a great group of people which made the job even more enjoyable. 

This semester at school I am excited because I am finally taking classes 100% specific to my major and minor. Weed Science and Soil and Water Conservation are two of the classes I am most interested in learning about this semester. I also have a fun class about Wild Life in America which has been cool learning about all the biomes and different animals in the US. To end my blog post catch up after being absent for a whole summer I can say that I am very thankful for my summer opportunity at Becks and I am ready to get my Junior year at Purdue started!
