Summer intern

Moore Seed Farm has been a grower of quality seeds since 1937. A family owned business, we are searching for a motivated student intern who is looking to expand their knowledge while assisting management in operations and field scouting during peak seasons. The ideal intern would be interested in careers in ag education, agronomy or the seed industry as a whole, though general agricultural studies would be considered. 

The student intern selected will help support safe, effective, and efficient management of the seed production processes. The primary role of the intern will be to help management oversee crews of seasonal (mostly youth) field hands responsible for detasseling seed corn. The student intern will also assist management in many other aspects of production, including but not limited too; field work, seed cleaning, treating & packaging, daily farm operations, field scouting for weed and disease identification, and crop progress reporting such as stand counts and yield estimates. The selected intern will play a critical part in the success of the peak season and while gaining knowledge and opportunities that will assist them in their future careers
