Each year, the Nebraska Corn Board selects five students and places them with cooperators around the country to gain professional experience in the agriculture sector. This week, the U.S. Grains Council welcomed its summer intern Bryce Vaughn.
Bryce is from Alliance, Neb., and is a senior in agriculture economics with a focus on public policy and a minor in international studies at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. This summer, he will be working on trade policy issues and assisting with incoming international trade teams and other Council programs.
Welcome aboard Bryce!
