This fall semester has been very busy! This semester I am in AGRY 255, which is soil science. I have enjoyed the class given I have expanded my knowledge of soils. Each week there is a lab for hands-on learning and then the material is also lectured on during the week. I am also in Agronomy sophomore seminar where we hear from past Purdue Agronomy students. This past week we got to hear from an equipment dealer who is also a farmer, which was very interesting. It taught me that in the agriculture industry you can have a successful agriculture business and farm as well. We have also heard from Agronomist for Pioneer and Channel. This class presents a great opportunity to get to know other agronomy students, and also network with past Purdue agronomy students. Recently we had the College of Agriculture Career Fair where I started looking for an internship. I decided to take an internship with Advanced Agrylitics in Benton County, IN this summer. I am very excited to be a field scout for them this summer. Although field scouting is not always the most enjoyable thing, I enjoy it a lot! I am excited about the growth I will experience through repetition and talking with farmers to expand my agronomic knowledge. When I had my interview with them we focused on who they were as a company and what their goals are. I truly was interested when they said they are a third party for farmers. They sit down with farmers and explain what is going on and give them options on how to take action. I think that is what farmers who want to focus on crop management need. This excites me and I am very interested to see how my summer internship goes with Advanced Agrilytics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
