Miranda Jones, an intern at Howdy Farm, is able to employ her skills daily while interning. "I love working at the Howdy Farm because I get hands-on experience, versus what often happens in a classroom setting," Jones said. Students at the Farm are able to apply things they've learned into real-life situations. "I can identify nutrient deficiencies in the field more easily, and I know how to install irrigation systems. I'm constantly learning new skills," Jones said. |
A&M Students from differing colleges are able to come together and work with each other. Howdy Farm successfully integrates students from different walks of life into a work environment that is progressive and fun.
"Even though I'm a nutritional science major, I've learned so much interning here at Howdy Farm," said Farm intern Taylor Stolt. "I think having a garden of your own, even something small like an herb garden, could be a way to make healthy eating more fun and more convenient."

Students are able to use their vocational skills in many forms, from accounting to public relations. The Howdy Farm encourages growth of the mind as well as the growth of produce.
Howdy Farm coordinator Corey Wahl says that teaching students in new ways is his passion.
"The most rewarding part of my position as the Howdy Farm coordinator is when I see the excitement in students as they encounter something they have just learned in the classroom," Wahl said. "They verbalize their knowledge to me and I help them understand how it applies to our farm system and beyond."
