Internship Summer 2020

Hello! My name is Emily Nealy, I’m a junior studying Agronomy, Crop and Soil Management.

This past summer, I had an internship with an ag co-op, Superior Ag, in Huntingburg, IN. I worked out of the corporate office doing tissue samples for all the branches, flying the drone over growers fields, and assisting with many activities at the Winfield United Answer Plot. 

I did a lot of tissue samples and sent the reports to growers so they could make amendments to their fields. I also sampled all of the trials to track how different products affect the nutrients of plants. I also flew the drone to take pictures of all the trials to see if there are any visual differences. I also flew over growers fields to scout incase there was a need for arial herbicide or fungicide. Superior Ag also hosted a few meetings and field days that were held at the Winfield Answer Plot located in Dale, IN. We hosted meetings with growers to educate them about the research going on in the plot. 

I had a great summer and met many awesome industry people and growers in the southwest Indiana area!
