Summer Internship!

Greetings everyone,

My name is Andrew Chupp, and I’m beginning my senior year this fall in Crop and

Soil Management with a minor in Food and Agribusiness Management. It’s hard to believe
that senior year is already here and I will be making some important career decisions

soon. As I look back on the years I've had at Purdue I can't express how many opportunities

I have been given to grow myself as a young professional, travel, and grow in my faith.

Looking forward to the things senior year will bring!

This summer I had the opportunity to work for Corteva Agriscience as a Pioneer Sales

Agronomy Intern. During my time with Pioneer I worked closely with the field agronomist

and sales territory managers to help grow our business in Southern Indiana. I was responsible

for conducting my own project revolving around sulfur fertility on soybeans and presenting my

findings to corporate and area leaders. I was able to bring value to the team by completing some

soil fertility analysis and using my project to reach customers throughout the area. I am grateful

for this experience because it gave me a grasp of what a full-time role looks like and the

responsibility that comes along with it.

I obtained this internship through the career fair that the college of agriculture hosts each
fall to help students get connected with industry and ultimately get jobs following graduation.
This year's fair is coming up on October 2nd where many companies throughout the ag industry will be present to recruit students for internships and full-time positions. Internships really give you some great experience and expose you to things that you learn in the classroom but haven’t experienced yet.

God Bless,

Andrew Chupp
