Ag Experience Internships
MFA internships provide hands-on learning about careers that interest you.
MFA’s paid summer internship is designed to challenge, educate and inspire college students pursuing careers in agriculture, business and communications.
The MFA Ag Experience provides unique internships tailored to each student’s degree program and personal interests.
Students are paired with a sum
mer mentor who directs, challenges and teaches them about our company and their area of the business. Each mentor also outlines a summer-long project for their student to complete and present at the conclusion of the summer.
To be eligible, applicants must be working toward a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university, be a full-time student in good standing with a grade point average above 2.75 and have completed their sophomore year of college. MFA actively recruits interns through college career fairs each fall. See our current list of events below. Interested in applying? Application period is Sept. 1 through Nov. 1 each year.

Spend summer in the field
Crop-Trak interns learn importance of our precision scouting program
A special group of MFA Ag Experience interns are those who work with our Crop-Trak precision scouting program. These interns spend their summer visiting growers’ fields in their assigned districts, checking for pests, diseases and fertility issues while learning from MFA’s agronomists and precision specialists.
Why MFA’s Ag Experience?
Throughout the summer, the students will gain valuable, hands-on experience within the industry and collaborate with MFA and its members. Overall, the goal is for interns to apply their knowledge and skills to a real-world setting.
Yes, paid! We realize many internships are not, but MFA values the time and energy that our Ag Experience participants put into their summer job.
Each intern is paired with an MFA mentor who helps create a customized internship geared toward the student’s interests and career objectives.
Each intern is given responsibility for a specific project that will contribute to the company in his or her particular focus area. At the program’s conclusion. all interns will give a final presentation detailing their projects and experiences to senior-level managers.
Not only do Ag Experience participants network with MFA executives, other employees and fellow interns, but they also have several opportunities to make connections throughout the agricultural industry during their 12-week internship.
