The Farm Management Internship provides students with a unique, hands-on opportunity to apply agricultural knowledge and skills in a real-world setting. Students enrolled in this course will be released during the school day to work directly on the district’s School Farm under the supervision of the School Farm Manager.
Throughout the internship, students will learn the foundational principles of farm management, including daily operations, animal care, crop and forage maintenance, facility upkeep, equipment use, and general farm safety. This highly practical experience emphasizes responsibility, problem-solving, and the value of agricultural labor. Students must be willing and able to perform physical work required to keep the School Farm functioning effectively.
Interns will also be required to be active members of the Neosho FFA Chapter, where they can apply their internship experiences to Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) and participate in leadership and career development opportunities.
The Farm Management Internship is ideal for students interested in production agriculture, agricultural operations, farm management, or careers requiring strong work ethic and hands-on expertise.
Prerequisites for this course include the successful completion of Agricultural Power and Technology, Principles of Animal Science, Principles of Plant Science, or SAE Project.
