LITTLE ROCK – Two interns have joined Arkansas Farm Bureau for the summer and will work on issues that affect Arkansas agriculture. Throughout the summer, the interns will increase their understanding of agriculture and the function of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation.

Andrew Sayger, 22, is interning with the Organization and Member Programs, Public Policy, and Commodity and Regulatory Affairs departments. Sayger is the son of Tony and Becky Sayger of Hazen. He recently graduated from Arkansas State University with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business. 

“Agriculture has always been a major part of my life, and I want to continue in agriculture,” Sayger said. “I’ve always admired Farm Bureau and the people in it, and this opportunity allows me to gain experience to advance my career in agriculture.” Lindsey Triplett, 20, is interning with the Public Relations department. She is the daughter of Angela and the late Earl Triplett of Conway. Triplett is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business with an emphasis in public relations from Arkansas Tech University. 

“I’m excited to combine my passions for both agriculture and communicating with people through this internship,” Triplett said. “Farm Bureau is known as the voice of agriculture and I’m grateful to be a part of that voice.” 

Sayger and Triplett work on a broad set of tasks during their 12-week internships. Sayger will work with the commodity divisions, along with the county Farm Bureaus. He’ll also work on organizational policy development. Triplett is helping the organization with a number of its summer activities and will contribute to its different publications. She’ll also work with social media and marketing strategies.
