2024 Communications Intern
As an intern, I immediately noticed how welcoming the Agtegra Cooperative community was. Despite not having an agricultural background, I never felt like an outsider. The team embraced me and made sure I felt included from day one. I was also entrusted with meaningful responsibilities that went beyond what many interns typically experience. Having that level of trust and being given the opportunity to contribute in impactful ways showed me the value Agtegra places on its people.
