Internship
About The Position
The DeLong Co., Inc. Internship Program gives college students an immersive experience in agronomy, seed and grain operations, with opportunities in other departments based on student interest and business needs. Internships are not built around a rigid preset schedule. Managers learn about each intern’s interests and shape day-to-day work around what the intern wants to learn, while ensuring every intern gains a core understanding of the business. Internship tracks include Agronomy/Seed, Grain Operations, Grain Merchandising, Rotational/Exploratory, and General Interest. The rotational track spends about two weeks in each of several divisions and departments, such as agronomy, grain, accounting and transport, before the intern selects an area for the final month. Other departments may also host interns based on student interest and department need. The program offers hands-on experience and industry insight for students interested in agricultural business, logistics, grain, seed or agronomy. Many former interns join DeLong Co. full-time after graduation.
