communications firm dedicated to agriculture and rural America. Through their summer internship program, O&B helps to
foster the next generation of talent in agri-business. The 2011 internship class includes 14 individuals, many of whom
are either recent graduates or seniors in college and are pursuing a career in
agriculture.

generation never thought possible,” says Michael Turley, CEO, O&B. "Working
