Purdue Offers Intern Training for Scouting
Scouting. It’s a key task learned by every agronomic intern in ag retail. To help train this year’s crop of interns, Purdue is hosting a Field Scout Intern Training event on May 19.
Hosted at the Beck Agricultural Center in West Lafayette, Ind., the one-day event includes training on:
- pest identification and management
- crop production
- growth staging
The full agenda can be found online.
“The information presented at this training will provide participants with basic terminology and general knowledge, like corn and soybean growth and development and pest identification, as they begin their agronomic internships this coming summer,” said Corey Gerber, director of the Purdue Crop Diagnostic Training & Research Center.
