The Department of Agricultural Economics has excellent industry
relationships. Industry representatives visit campus to
attend the department’s Center for Food and Agribusiness
programs. Representatives are so impressed with these programs
that they return to campus to recruit students during the
School of Agriculture career fair and interview students
for full-time and internship positions.
Industry Comments...
"Farm Credit Services is an agricultural lender with the mission to provide
high quality financial services to Ag producers, Ag businesses,
and rural residents. Farm Credit provides important services
to American agriculture and these services would not be
possible without a large number of high integrity employees
to serve our customers. We have become the largest agricultural
lender by understanding the needs of agriculture, having
a good grasp on Ag economics and possessing the ability
to analyze each customers' situation. This ability comes
from quality employees like we find within Purdue University's
Agricultural
Economics department. With leadership abilities, broad Agriculture
knowledge and a drive to succeed, we look to Purdue to fill
many of our full time positions. Along with many summer
internships, we fill the positions of Financial Services
Officer and Business Analyst. The people in these positions
sell and market our financial services or analyze loan packages
to make credit decisions.
The Purdue University Ag Economics department has been
a tremendous source of employees for Farm Credit Services.
We have enjoyed our relationship in the past and look forward
to working together in the future."

Archer Daniels Midland has held the Purdue Agricultural
Economics Program in the highest regard for many years.
The quality of students within the program continually meet

We look forward to future recruiting at Purdue with much
excitement, as we source our leaders of tomorrow!
