As an Agronomy Associate, I will be promoting the sales of Golden Harvest®, by selling, distributing, and servicing seed products directly to growers under Langer Farms and Ag Services

Tasks include…Manage, sell, and deliver organic compost to businesses/ people around Platteville, WI-All proceeds go back to the School of Agriculture -Great introduction to sales

Everyday I did something new at Helena. My days typically consisted of taking tissue samples for corn and soybeans then looking at that data and relating it back to customers. I also did some soil sampling upon request by growers who wanted to see what was happening in the soil during the summer months. I also did simple tasks like putting up signs or delivering products. It was a good internship to see the inner workings of a corporate ag retail company.
