How did you get involved with DCI?
During the summer of 2018, I did an internship with a local seed retailer. She informed me of contractor opportunities with Direct Contact, and my experience and background was a good fit for one of their openings!
Tell us about your background:
I grew up in a small town, raised helping my family on our family farm. On our family farm, we grow corn and soybeans. My sister and I also have a small cow/calf herd. After high school, I earned a Bachelors's Degree in Agronomy at the University of Central Missouri and graduated in December of 2019.
