Jud Hoffschneider is another Cargill Intern that I met through the AFA InterNetworkKC group.

Jud is working with Cargill Animal Nutrition as a Management Associate Intern this summer; he also interned previously with Farm Credit Services of America as a Credit Analyst Intern.

Nikki is heading into her senior year at Michigan State where she will be graduating from the Agribusiness Management Program next May. She is working with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Communication Dept this summer while also working … [Read more...]
