My name is Adam, and I am the newest intern at The Grain Place. I graduated in 2017 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Water Science with an emphasis on Watershed Management, along with minors in Fisheries & Wildlife and Environmental Studies.

This is Isaac bringing you all the final blog from my internship here at the Grain Place. Over the past 5 weeks, I have been able to serve as the first participant in the TOPP internship program here at the farm.

In addition to the cold, the farm has received several inches of snow and been very windy. While these conditions mean I have spent more time inside staying warm, there is certainly still work to be done on the farm.

My name is Isaac Johnson and for the next five weeks, I will be working as an intern here at the Grain Place in Marquette, Nebraska. This first week has been jam-packed with new information and learning about the farm and the grain processing operations. Given that it is currently January, the working week looks a little bit different than other times of the year. However, there is always work to be done on the farm.
