Life on the Farm
Expect to roll up your sleeves—literally! Daily tasks may involve physical work, exposure to mud, and, yes, the distinct smells of pigs, cows, and other farm animals. This is all part of authentic agricultural life, and it’s important to come prepared both mentally and physically for the experience.
It’s your future, invest in it.
Your future isn’t waiting—it’s calling. Intern abroad, gain real-world experience, and return home with skills, stories, and confidence that last a lifetime.
