Short Story Long, I Moved to Rwanda. With Ben Orebaugh | Across the Acres, Presented by Beck's
In this episode of Across The Acres, Ben Orebaugh shares his story about begining his career with Beck’s in 1999, and in 2012, he took a leap of faith, resigned from his role as Lead Corn Breeder, and moved to Africa.
After five years in Africa, he moved home and accepted a new role with Beck’s, working in the research department on trait conversions. But this article isn’t about what Ben does today. It’s about the life-changing experience that got him to where he is today—an experience breeding beyond borders.
