Crop Scout Intern

Peterson Farms is a progressive,  family-operated row crop production farm based out of Loretto, KY.

As a Crop Scout Intern, you can expect to gain an understanding of how we use different agronomic processes to produce high yields at a large scale, all the while maintaining proper stewardship of the land that we farm. This is a very hands-on scouting internship where interns will spend >90% of their time in the field. 

Crop Scout Interns will have a wide array of duties, including but not limited to:

• Growth staging various crops
• Identifying weeds, insects, and diseases
• Stand counting various crops
• Pulling soil and tissue samples
• Utilizing precision agriculture applications
• Helping the agronomy team make operational decisions based on collected data

On-site housing is available for non-local interns at no cost.
