“As we enter our 35th year of recruiting interns, we continue to see the necessity and success of the program,” said Brandon Hunnicutt, NCB chair. “Internships provide hands-on experiences, with the opportunity to gain skills that cannot be learned in the classroom. We see new interests, passions, and career goals developed through serving as an intern. This past year alone, we have interacted with past Nebraska Corn Board interns who have become full-time staff at their host organizations; that helps us define the need and success of internships.”

Nebraska Corn internships are open to all college students, with a preference given to students enrolled in colleges or universities located in Nebraska. The application process can be found online at https://nebraskacorn.gov/internships/. The submission deadline is Friday, October 11, 2024. 

The Nebraska Corn Board is funded through a producer checkoff investment of ½-cent-per-bushel checkoff on all corn marketed in the state and is managed by nine farmer directors. The mission of the Nebraska Corn Board is to increase the value and sustainability of Nebraska corn through promotion, market development, and research.
