Purdue University’s Farm Business Internship program matches Purdue Agriculture students with progressive commercial producers to provide interns with a summer-long farm business learning experience. Purdue’s Farm Business Internship provides agriculture’s leaders of tomorrow with a valuable experience in production agriculture, while also giving farms the opportunity to employ a Purdue Agriculture student with a strong educational background on their farm.
Key benefits for host farms:
- Additional hands-on assistance in day-to-day operations.
- An intern to work on business-related projects that producers don’t have time to tackle.
- A liaison back to Purdue Agriculture faculty.
- Opportunity to mentor and play a role in the future of agriculture.
