Nebraska-based Ag Valley Co-op has welcomed Dolores\u2019 Brooklyn Lee to its group of 2026 summer interns.<\/p>\n

Lee, a senior studying agricultural leadership at Fort Hays State University in Kansas, will be working as a sales agronomy intern at the co-op.<\/p>\n

The internship will take place in Cambridge, Nebraska, where Lee will work under the mentorship of Branigan Shaben, sales agronomist.<\/p>\n

The co-op will provide interns with hands-on experience in agronomy sales, as well as opportunities for professional development in Nebraska and Kansas, a news release said.<\/p>\n

Other interns who will be taking part in the program with Lee are Ryan Babcock (Kansas), Samantha Schultz (Missouri) and Hallee Sheffield (Nebraska). The release said each intern will be working with experienced agronomists to learn more about agronomy sales and agricultural operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur internship program is about more than giving these young people a summer job,\u201dsaid Jeff Krejdl, Ag Valley Co-op CEO and general manager. \u201cIt\u2019s about passing on the knowledge and experience we\u2019ve built over the years, while also learning from their fresh ideas. These interns are the future of our industry, and we\u2019re proud to help guide them along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ag Valley Co-op was founded in 1953 and is a member-owned agricultural cooperative that serves communities in western and southwestern Nebraska and northwestern Kansas.<\/p>\n
