Name:
Nate Kolm
Title:
Sales Intern
MKC Location:
Groveland, KS
Hometown:
Pratt, KS
Education:
Will be a junior at Fort Hays State University studying agronomy
Why did you choose to pursue an internship with MKC/TMA?
I chose MKC because the internship program fit my need to gai
n more experience with the
business
side of agriculture.
What does a day in your life look like this summer?
A day in my life this summer consists of first, checking in with my mentor to get a game plan for the day. I then scout a variety of crops for weed pressure and c
heck for
surrounding crops to help our operations team know what is surrounding the area.
I typically meet back with my mentor to review my findings
for work orders to be made.
I also have the opportunity to d
eliver chemical and seed to growers.
What has been the most exciting part of your internship?
The most exciting part of my sales internship has been my cover crop project. I have been able to look at a variety of different cover crops used in my area and have learned a lot about the benefits that cover crops provide to growers.
What motivates you most about getting up to start a new day as an intern?
I am motivated by knowing I help growers in my area every day by making deliveries and scouting. I enjoy learning more about agriculture and broadening my knowledge every day.
How/when did you realize you were interested in the career path you’re in?
I grew up around agriculture my whole life. Last summer I did a scouting internship, and I knew I wanted to do something related to that. I chose this internship to see a different side of ag and have loved it so far!
One thing you can’t leave the house without in the morning and why?
I can’t leave the house without some sort of caffeine to start my morning, as well as my sunglasses.
