Hello everybody!
My name is Kathryn
Graf and I have been recently selected as an Agronomy Ambassador.
Currently, I am a sophomore majoring in Sustainable Agronomic Systems
Business and Marketing. Growing up on a family grain farm in Momence, Illinois
led me to major in agriculture and further develop my interest and passion for
it. Once my four years are up, I plan to attend graduate school and earn my
Masters degree within the agronomy field as well. When finished with school,
my goal is to work for an agronomic company as a field agronomist in hopes of
improving crop quality and raising yields to help feed the ever growing world
population.
Along with being an Agronomy Ambassador, I am also a member
of the Purdue Women's Track and Field Team and the Soil and Water Conservation
Society. I also am in the Leadership Development Certificate Program. Through these extracurricular activities and
the classes I have taken, I have learned and grown as a person so much over the
past two years and am excited to see where the next two take me.
The past summer I was blessed to live at home and work for
AgReliant as a Seed Corn Production intern. With this position, my main duties
were scouting fields and inspect the fields to ensure quality pollination
between male and female corn. This internship allowed me to see a side of
agriculture that growing up on a typical grain farm never allowed me to
experience. This coming up summer will be a huge learning experience for me as
well. I will be interning with Helena working on the sales side of the
agriculture field down in central Illinois.
I will keep you posted on how this summer’s internship goes
and am super excited to take on my duties as an Agronomy Ambassador!
