Jacobs Farm Integrated Pest Management Internship
Jacobs Farm is seeking an intern to help establish a GPS based pest scouting program for our farm. The candidate does not need to be a college student or graduate. Primarily he/she must be interested in helping to develop new technology for use on an organic farm. A college student with an agriculture, environmental studies or ecology major is attractive because we could help him/her turn this project into an internship for college credit. The experience could also be used to satisfy educational requirements for a PCA license should this person be interested in pursuing a career in crop protection.
