Links to help you

Are you interested in sales, research, production, extension services, …? Do you want to work with exotic animals, dairy or beef cattle, poultry, horses, goats… you get the picture

Any school that has an ag college usually has good ag links. Sometimes you can look at the schools employment website for on the farms jobs or staff positions. However, I have found that a lot of those jobs do require an advanced degree.

Here is a mixed bag of websites. I might have something more specific if you know what you are looking for.

The recommendations of the Scholarship Committee are summarized by NDPRB staff and the scholarships are then awarded. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic performance, courses related to dairy, apparent commitment to a career in dairy, involvement in extracurricular activities, especially those related to dairy, and evidence of leadership ability, initiative, character, and integrity. Students may be awarded scholarships in multiple years. Scholarship winners must be enrolled during the entire academic year for which the scholarship is selected.
