Profile bio
About Wes Gartner
Crop science is a career that I am extremely passionate about. Most people in the world have no understanding or appreciation for the years of research that go into developing the food that’s on their table. I live for it!. After all, it’s not as easy as a farmer planting some random seeds. It takes years of trials, errors, and creativity to produce every seed that a farmer buys, and passion cannot be overlooked in that process. I spent six years at the University of Wisconsin earning a B.S. in Horticulture and a M.S. in Plant Breeding & Plant Genetics, with 3+ years serving as a Research Assistant focused on breeding snap beans, tomatoes, peppers, and cucurbits. As a research assistant I led a dual research project on snap beans, part of which was recently published in the journal HortScience (vol. 55, issue 10). After graduating I worked at a farm-to-table vegetable show garden for Sub-zero/Wolf, aided at an industrial hemp farm, and most notably was a Research Station Intern for HM Clause in Sun Prairie-WI where I worked in the development of sweet corn, snap beans, cucurbits, tomatoes, and peppers. My goal is to develop a long lasting relationship with a company that encourages both professional and personal growth with the aim of becoming a plant breeder myself. I am applying for this position because plant-based research and crop production are careers that I have dedicated my life to, and I’m looking for a position that is both challenging and rewarding. I train well, am detail-oriented, and I’m very comfortable working in laboratory, greenhouse, and outdoor environments. I also have a passport and love to travel domestically and internationally.
