      Hello again! Today was a busy and fun-filled day for us with AgCareers.com. We took the majority of the day to go down to Des Moines, Iowa and walk around the 2012 World Pork Exposition. This was a first-time experience for me and fellow marketing associate Bonnie Johnson. Supervisor, Erika Osmundson, took us down to the Iowa State Fairgrounds where it was hosted to talk with clients as well as friends of the industry. We were able to see most of the indoor exposition exhibits, a few of the sow shows hosted by the National Pork Producers Council, and eat a pulled pork sandwich for lunch. It was a also really neat to see our sister company, Pig Champ (partially owned by Farms.com as well), display and inform many of their customers about some of the new software available. It was a great day to see a major trade show within the agriculture industry and share some laughs along the way!

  1. Hi Mark,
    Great post! Looks like some good experience at the show in Des Moines. Did you happen to run into Kayla Meyer? I think she's with the National Pork Producers Council this summer. So happy to follow your internship like this. Keep up the great work!
