Robert and Elaine Carns

Robert and Elaine Carns created the Nina Carns Agronomy Scholarship in loving memory of their daughter Nina Lee Carns who passed away in 2023.

Nina Carns graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a double major in Soil and Crop Science and Business Administration. Nina worked as a long-time tech rep for Garst Seed Co., Legacy Seeds, and Syngenta Seed. She then developed her consulting firm NC Nutrient Management LLC. Her customer base covered the southern third of Wisconsin. Nina had the utmost devotion to her customers and wanted their transition to a new firm after her passing to go as smoothly as possible.

Nina loved to travel and garden, she was even a Master Gardener. Nina’s wishes were to support current and future UW-Platteville students who share a passion for agronomy and agriculture.
