2019 The Katharine M. Grosscup Scholarships in Horticulture
John Gove is an undergraduate student at Michigan State University, majoring in horticultural science with a focus on fruit and vegetable production. Since 2008 he has been farming his own plot of land, growing cherry tomatoes and corn for popcorn, to help fund his degree. He has designed and implemented an independent study project evaluating different methods of grafting tomatoes. In the summer he interned with an extension agent from the University of New Hampshire, addressing practical grower problems, while also working on the family fruit and vegetable farm. After graduation, his plan is to apply his education to improving and advancing his family’s seventh-generation farm. Gove is also an NCAA student athlete.
