\"\"Hello everyone! My name is Brady Monteith, and I\u2019m a sophomore at the University of Arizona, studying\u00a0nutrition and\u00a0food\u00a0systems.\u00a0Although I go to school Arizona, I grew up in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I\u2019m back home for the summer, so I\u2019m interning with the\u00a0OSU Extension office in Klamath County. Klamath is a very ag-centric community, so I\u2019ve grown up surrounded by agriculture. My family owns and operates a commercial farm,\u00a0and my first job was to drive tractor and rake hay, so I\u2019ve always felt quite connected to that side of the food system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During my internship I will be working under the supervision of Patty Case. My goal through this internship will be to better understand the Klamath\u00a0food\u00a0systems\u00a0and the many people who play many diverse roles in it. I will be doing this through a few different projects. The main\u00a0project I will be working on will be\u00a0Extension\u2019s role at the local\u00a0farmers\u00a0market. We will be working with the market director to provide nutrition education and help people to use their SNAP-Ed\u00a0benefits to purchase local produce. I will also be assisting\u00a0Extension Master\u00a0Gardeners\u00a0in\u00a0their role at the\u00a0farmers\u00a0market. In addition to these projects, I will be assisting with the Cooking Matters program, to further expand on\u00a0the\u00a0nutrition education side of things.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before starting this internship, I really didn\u2019t know much about OSU\u00a0Extension. I had heard of\u00a0Master\u00a0Gardeners, but only knew that some people used them to test their soil. I came into the internship with pretty much no knowledge of what I would end up doing. However, the wonder people at\u00a0Extension were quick to help get me oriented and have given me every tool I need to be successful.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
