different areas of the company.
It provides an opportunity
to showcase people, farms,

This year, PIPESTONE
welcomed nine interns from
six states who worked in

production, nutrition, marketing,
information technology, and
veterinary services. For 10-12
weeks, interns were immersed in
all phases of swine production,
learning directly from industry
professionals, exploring a
multitude of farms and facilities,
and interacting with the public
at local events including the
PIPESTONE Discovery Barn.
Production Intern, Kaydance
Hinn, came to PIPESTONE to
see the production side of the
swine industry. But, she left with
more than expected.
“This internship was
awesome!”
“One of the big skills I learned
was networking. I came in
very quiet, but throughout the
summer they really encouraged
us to meet with professionals in
the industry and now I’m leaving
with a notebook full of contacts
that will help me in the future.”
PIPESTONE is committed
to the next generation
of agriculturalists. If you,
