NuWay-K&H Cooperative has two operations interns this summer, Levi Miest and Connor Jones. We’re giving these guys experience in the real world and perhaps they’ll come back and work for us full-time. At the very least, they’ll pass their experience on to others who may be interested in interning with us.

You don’t need to be an applicator to be an intern. You don’t even need to be in the field of agriculture. Internships are open in accounting, sales and other areas of our business.

Levi and Connor are here to serve you. Please greet them and make them feel at home if you see them in your fields or on your farmstead.

Revamping our liquid trailers

Our main focus for the summer is on our fleet of sprayers. We’ve revamped six of our flatbed trailers to cut back on loading time. Weve gone from four shuttle spaces to eight shuttle spaces on two of the flatbed trailers and from four to six shuttle spaces and Quick Draw loading systems on four of the trailers, which means we’ll have more bulk storage and a lot less packaged chemicals on each trailer.

Everything is automated with bulk products, so this saves us quite a bit of time. We can get your fields spread faster because we can load the product faster. In a wet year like this, we’ve been able to take advantage of the shorter windows we’ve had to spray. We can spray more acres because we had faster tending of the sprayer.

We’re planning to outfit the other two tenders with the Quick Draw loading system—hopefully this winter.
