One of the most distinctive aspects of the Agtegra First internship program is that interns leave with far more than just a résumé boost — they gain meaningful, hands-on experiences that reinforce their academic learning and often shape their future career paths. In return, these interns bring fresh perspectives and valuable contributions to the cooperative, leaving a lasting impression that can influence Agtegra’s future in powerful ways.
For Steve Pfeifer, farming is so much more than caring for the land and livestock — it's about being able to pass that love for the land to the next generation. His belief in the future of agriculture is also reflected in his commitment to helping the next generation understand the importance of agricultural cooperatives, which he demonstrated in his 15 years of service to Agtegra Cooperative's Board of Directors.
