When you intern at Land O’Lakes, you're joining a Fortune 250 agribusiness and food production leader with more than 100 years of operations as a farmer- and member-owned cooperative. With business units spanning crop insight and inputs, animal nutrition, dairy foods, and sustainability solutions, you will experience a hands-on, purpose-driven internship. You’ll have opportunities to network with industry leaders, tour our state-of-the-art facilities, and be challenged with a business-critical project, all while gaining skills that will impact your career trajectory. 

WinField United offers unmatched agricultural expertise to help farmers, retailers, and other partners succeed. As a customer-owned wholesale supplier of crop protection inputs, seed, and crop nutrients with a commitment to shaping the future of farming, we are uniquely positioned to help retailers and farmers implement modern farming practices. To grow more food with fewer inputs. To be even better stewards of precious land and water resources. To always be mindful of the next generation of farmers.

Sales Interns will attend Land O’Lakes Internship Orientation in late May at Land O’Lakes headquarters in Arden Hills, MN to kickoff the summer internship. Sales Interns will be placed in a division that focuses on total acre solutions using top-performing seed, crop protection, and crop nutrient products. This internship will build upon your previous agronomy internships by engaging with growers and retailers on business development skills and customer relationship and sales skills while learning about the WinField United products and services. You will also utilize field trial testing to uncover yield potential through nutrients, crop protection, and seed to bring targeted insights to growers via total acre solution. At the conclusion of the summer, Sales Interns will have the opportunity to deliver a final presentation on key deliverables to the WinField United leadership team at headquarters.
