Hello! My name is Wesley Turner and I am a graduate student in the Master of Microbial Biotechnology (MMB) Program at NC State.
My motivation for learning about agriculture stems from my farming background.
From a very young age I knew that I wanted to make farming more productive and more profitable for the farmer.
I have experience in every sector of the agriculture industry giving me a diverse viewpoint from the farmer's perspective, from the research perspective, and from the legislative perspective.

With my interdisciplinary experience and connections I plan to utilize all of my expertise that I have gained in the field of agriculture to become a productive member of the scientific community facilitating discovery and innovation through biotechnology with the purpose of advancing agriculture for the benefit of mankind.
