Farm bureau interns to promote First State agriculture

The Delaware Farm Bureau has hired three summer interns, Beau Davis, Sam Jacona and Kira Manuszak, who will bring their experience and knowledge to help promote the farm bureau and Delaware agriculture this summer. 

Their projects will include creating bureau member promotional videos and social media content, and organizing educational events.

Growing up on her family’s farm In Milford, Davis developed a deep-rooted passion for agriculture. Before graduating from Milford High School in 2022, she was actively involved in FFA and 4-H. She also showed livestock at the Delaware State Fair. Now a junior at the University of Delaware, Davis is majoring in agriculture and natural resources. She remains deeply engaged in agriculture through her involvement in the university’s FFA, 4-H and Agriculture College Council.

Jacona, a Milton resident and 2021 Milford High School graduate, hopes to expand her knowledge of agriculture and marketing as a DEFB intern. She is particularly interested in learning how to tailor her graphic designs to specific audiences to make a large impact. Jacona has grown produce to sell at a farm stand and the downtown Milton farmers market. She wants to learn more about supporting other farmers and advocating for agriculture. Currently a senior at Arcadia University, Jacona is majoring in fine arts with an emphasis on graphic design. Her future aspirations include working in the music industry as a graphic designer.

Manuszak, of Dover, hopes to expand her knowledge in videography, photography, marketing and Delaware agriculture. Although she has shown horses for most of her life and has been involved at her family’s farm, she is eager to learn more about other agricultural industries. A 2022 graduate of Calvary Christian Academy, Manuszak is now a junior at the University of Valley Forge majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing.
