“We’re Not in Kansas Anymore”

This summer I had the opportunity to move out to Kansas. I was a wholesale agronomy sales intern for Helena. This was my first experience away from home for a long period of time. I am used to going home on the weekends while at college and I have spent the last 2 summers living at home working for the local coop.

I highly recommend accepting an internship out of your comfort zone and away from home. Even though there were rattlesnakes, badgers, and velvet ants in Kansas, I loved being at a new place. I learned about different crops other than corn and soybeans (milo, wheat, cotton, sunflowers) and figured out what I want for a career. I was able to meet many wonderful people and enjoy the beauty of Kansas.
