My Summer Internship- Allaina Beaupre

This past summer I chose to take a more unconventional route and intern for my dad on my family farm. Since I was old enough to work, I have had summer jobs, meaning I’ve never been around on the farm in the spring/ summer. I figured I needed to get that real world experience to help me better understand how my farm works. I did everything from planting, side dressing, and laying down pipe for irrigation. It was very rewarding to see the progress of the crops that I planted. It was tough at first with the very wet and rainy spring we had, I got pretty frustrated at times, but it taught me patience like no other. I loved my experience and would recommend this to anyone who lives on a farm and hasn’t gotten to experience much outside of harvest.
