AgCarolina Farm Credit Welcomed Four Summer Interns
AgCarolina Farm Credit welcomed four talented interns to their team this summer. Each intern learned about a variety of roles at AgCarolina Farm Credit and led several summer projects. The internship program provided an opportunity for students to learn more about the agriculture industry, service to North Carolina rural communities, and AgCarolina as a financial cooperative. Their project assignments reflected AgCarolina Farm Credit’s mission and served as a way to challenge the cohort in a real-world work environment.
