I was an intern at UFC during the summer of 2016. My tasks and responsibilities were to monitor fields for weeds and pests, then report back to the master agronomist for recommendations. I also completed a summer long research project overseeing the health of a field that had Authority First applied in the spring. For the project i visited the field weekly taking stand counts, samples, and general observations of the crop.
