Asking Questions is Part of Learning

While working as an intern be open to learning new skills.

Most host farm owners have years of experience and have learned through trial and error.

By asking the “Why’s” of an operation, you’ll gain valuable knowledge that may prevent you from making some of the same mistakes.

Be Respectful

Keep in mind that your host farm has probably invested everything they have in maintaining their farm.

Most farmers have a personal relationship with their animals and want them to be cared for in the best possible manner.
