Agrium To Offer ESN Smart Internship

Posted by Matthew J. Grassi|January 7, 2016

Agrium Wholesale, Agriculture Specialties, a leading supplier of agriculture fertilizer products, has created a unique opportunity for a student enrolled in an agriculture-focused college or university program to become the first ESN Smart Intern. This two and a half month internship will focus on the production, marketing and sales of industry leading speciality fertilizer, ESN, which is the only polymer-coated controlled-release fertilizer available for broad acre crops.

“We created the ESN Smart Intern program as part of our ongoing commitment to support the next generation of agricultural innovators. The successful applicant will receive valuable hands-on learning and insights into the core business areas of marketing, sales, manufacturing, communications, public relations and agronomy within a leading global company,” says Todd Latimer, Marketing Manager, Agriculture Specialties. “We are pleased to provide an opportunity for young people to bring new ideas and fresh thinking to agriculture at a time when the industry is rapidly evolving.”

Students are asked to submit a video or other multi-media application online at www.esnsmartintern.com by March 16, 2016. Applicants must share their understanding of how smart fertilizer usage is advancing sustainable agriculture practices and explain how this technology positively influences profitability, efficiency and environmental stewardship. The top student submissions will be posted on a microsite built specifically for the program and associated directly with ESN Smart Talk. One final student will be selected as the 2016 Agrium Wholesale, Agriculture Specialties ESN Smart Intern.
