INTERNSHIP ENRICHES BARNES ALREADY CONSIDERABLE SKILL SET

Ag Credit is happy to announce that Morgan Barnes has joined the internship program this summer.

Barnes grew up on her family’s beef cattle farm in Crittenden County. She has had a passion for agriculture since early age and enjoyed helping her father and grandfather on the farm. She was also very involved in 4-H and FFA growing up. Barnes served as the 2020-21 Kentucky 4-H secretary and later became the marketing and development intern for the Kentucky 4-H Foundation.

Barnes is a rising senior at the University of Kentucky, where she is dual majoring in agriculture economics and management. She is the philanthropy chair of Sigma Alpha, a professional agriculture sorority, and president of the Agribusiness Club at the University of Kentucky. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being on the farm and cooking.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to spend my summer with Ag Credit. I have been assigning leads, creating social media content and traveling Central Kentucky to interview customers and write articles for Ag Credit publications,” Barnes said. This internship has allowed me to learn and gain so many skills in agriculture and marketing that I will take with me into my future career. It truly has been a pleasure to get to know everyone here and be a part of the Ag Credit team.”
