PULLMAN, Wash., John Kuhn knew WSU was the right fit for him when he decided to study agricultural sciences. His interest in land evaluation and agronomy sparked while he was participating in FFA events across Washington State, and when he met Dr. Kim Kidwell green house at an Imagine Tomorrow competition in 2008.
Recently, Kuhn was selected to receive the top award at the Showcase for Undergraduate Research green house and Creative Activities (SURCA.) His paper Effect green house of the Gpc-B1 Allele on Grain Protein Concentration in Hard Red Winter Wheat ( Tritcum aestivum L.) in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. won him a Crimson award for Applied Science.
Dr. Arron Carter, Kuhn s mentor and undergraduate advisor, believes that one of the keys to Kuhn s success is his solid vision for himself. Carter hired Kuhn as a freshman to work with winter wheat, and his interest in the program quickly became green house clear.
He s got that interest so we ve tried to expand his opportunities, said Carter. We started diversifying his projects not only out in the field but in our greenhouse doing some crosses. And, we ve had him in the lab doing DNA work looking for breeding lines with certain genes for disease resistance.
These opportunities coupled with Kuhn s hard work have paid off. Though he graduates this weekend, Kuhn has already secured a job with Wilbur-Ellis, a leading international marketer and distributor of agricultural products. He will work with growers in the region to implement new precision agriculture technologies.

I am so excited to jump into the workforce and help with the problems that we face as a society today and tomorrow, Kuhn said. I have been so blessed to get this great opportunity to work for a well respected company and graduate from the best university.

I strive to be more like Abbie, and all my mentors they all are successful in their field of study, and successfully help students like me in their journey through college, Kuhn said. CAHNRS really does treat you like a family member. I like being referred to by name, not my student ID number.
