GROWMARK has announced that sixty-one college students will spend this summer exploring agricultural career opportunities as GROWMARK interns in the company’s 57th summer internship program. Interns will work at FS member cooperatives in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Ontario, Canada, as well as GROWMARK FS, Mid-Co Commodities, and the GROWMARK corporate office in Bloomington, Illinois.

Interns will work in the areas of accounting, marketing, communications, and product and service-related activities. An orientation program was held for the entire group at the GROWMARK corporate office on Monday, May 16, and all 61 will reconvene in June for an agribusiness tour. Each intern will also complete am individual project and deliver a presentation on that project in August.

“We are excited to celebrate the 57th anniversary of the GROWMARK internship program,” said Amie Hasselbring, GROWMARK university relations manager. “The program continues to be a key component in identifying and retaining top talent into the GROWMARK System. Students engage with industry professionals on important projects and have the opportunity to clarify career goals, while we get exposed to the most talented university students,” she added.
