We are hiring a Win Field United Forages Nutrition Insights Intern based in Indianapolis, IN for Summer 2027!

Sure Tech is a full‑service agricultural lab that provides retailers access to the timely, cost‑effective, reliable data their farmers need to make better decisions.

You will spend more than a good portion of your time traveling throughout the region, visiting farms, interacting directly with customers, collecting forage samples, and supporting forage management initiatives. Working closely with Sure Tech laboratory, technical, and commercial teams, you will help communicate test results, identify opportunities for improved forage quality, and demonstrate how analytical insights can drive better feeding and operational decisions.
