It’s hard to believe that 13 years ago I served as the McHenry County Farm Bureau intern. I served as their intern the summer between my Freshmen and Sophomore year in college. I learned so much during that summer not only about agriculture but also Farm Bureau. It is an experience I credit a lot to where I am today. It was my first taste of Farm Bureau and the more I learned the more passionate I became. One of my favorite parts of summer is that Stephenson County Farm Bureau offers a summer internship. We allow college students to come in and explore many aspects of agriculture. Interns experience Ag in The Classroom, day-to-day operations of our office, and they are also able to explore other areas that they are specifically interested in. I am excited to announce we are now accepting applications for our 2025 Summer Intern. We are accepting applications through January 8, 2025.
