Sales & Agronomy Intern

The Helena Sales and Agronomy Internship offers college students hands-on experience in agronomy and sales through a dynamic, field-based program. Interns work closely with branch sales and operations teams to develop sales skills, support customer relationships, and gain exposure to agronomy, ag chemicals, and precision agriculture. With over 70% of their time spent in the field, interns learn about crop production, product applications, and real-world farm operations while collecting and analyzing data. 

The program also includes a summer project tied to business goals and a final presentation to company leadership, providing valuable experience in communication and professional development.
