Editorial Internship - Hoard’s Dairyman

Fort Atkinson, WI • Closes October 17

For 140 years, the W.D. Hoard and Sons Co. has been providing valuable information to dairy producers and people working in the dairy industry through Hoard’s Dairyman. Today, the editorial team shares information with our readers through the magazine, a weekly e-newsletter, daily blogs, and several social media channels. We are looking for an eager, ambitious student with interest and experience in dairy and writing to fill our internship position for the summer of 2026. Our intern receives one-on-one mentoring and reports directly to the editors of Hoard’s Dairyman magazine.

Summer highlights:

• Writing for the magazine- Our intern writes the Farm Flashes page, which appears in every issue. The intern will also author longer feature articles, stories for our Young Dairymen page, and other shorter pieces for the magazine.

• Online communications- The intern would be a regular contributor to the HD Notebook, our blog that is updated every weekday. There may also be opportunities to write for our e-newsletter, Hoard’s Dairyman Intel.

• The World Dairy Expo issue- Every summer, the intern works with the editorial team to write articles, plan layout, and edit copy for the Sept.10 issue that features World Dairy Expo.

• The opportunity to travel- During the Hoard’s Dairyman internship experience, students often have a few opportunities to attend meetings and visit dairy farms across the country as time allows. The intern will write articles and farm stories, along with visiting and documenting the story of National Dairy Shrine’s student recognition winner.
