My name is Joshua Adams. I am currently a Sophomore studying Agronomy with a focus on Crop and Water Management. I come from the small town of Hillsboro, Indiana that is only 45 minutes South of campus. It is a very rural area and is largely agriculture based. The area I grew up is one of the reasons why I decided to choose Agronomy. I grew up involving myself in the Agriculture industry with my fondness of working outside. While working with the people in this area I began to see the need for a new generation of workers and those willing to feed the world. I saw these people start to leave or retire after many years of experience and go onto other parts of their life and their position remain empty for long terms afterwards. I wanted to fill these spots but I also wanted to be educated and have the knowledge to properly run an operation or even improve it if possible. That is I decided to continue my studying in Agronomy at one of the best colleges in the world. This past summer I was fortunate enough to participate in my Internship at Ceres Solutions even through the craziness of Covid. I was able to put my classroom knowledge to the test by doing crop scouting and nutrient analysis. It allowed me to use the knowledge I received in the classroom in the field and actually learn hands on with the real deal. It was an amazing experience and something I will always cherish in the future. It was a busy summer but I was excited to get back to Purdue and learning.
