Laura and Keith Galloway, owners of the Galloway Ranch in Ten Sleep, participated in the GrowinG internship program offered by the University of Wyoming (UW). The program aims to provide hands-on practice with Wyoming agricultural production systems to interns, and the Galloways hosted two interns in the summer of 2024.
The GrowinG Internship program, directed by the UW Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, accepts applications from individuals over the age of 18 with limited agricultural ownership experience. Interns are matched with host farms or ranches, receive a stipend, and have the opportunity to gain practical skills in agriculture.
The Galloways exposed their interns to various aspects of running a ranch, from working with animals to mechanical repair. They also emphasized the importance of conservation and stewardship of the land, integrating these principles into their daily operations. The interns, like Ronni Owens, found the experience rewarding and challenging, pushing them to expand their capabilities and knowledge in the field.
The Galloways and their interns highlighted the value of the program in preserving the ranching lifestyle and passing on valuable knowledge to future generations. To learn more about the GrowinG internship program, interested individuals can visit their website or contact the program coordinator.
