Turner Seed Company is family-owned and operated. In 1961, Bob Turner
started Turner Soil Conservation Service, a dozer business that specialized
in applying conservation practices to the land. Bob became interested in
the different grasses that are used for pastures and fields. In 1974, Bob
started helping a friend harvest Kleingrass 75 with his homemade brush
sweeper. This was the beginning of Bob Turner Seed Co.

|
The seed company grew when Bob's son, Darcy, graduated in 1978 from Texas
A&M with a Bachelors of Science degree in agronomy. Darcy has spent the
last ten years expanding the business in wildlife and wildflower areas.

J. Mercer joined the company in 1985. He is now in sales and
consulting on the phone. If you have a question, need some advice or want
to know prices, J will be glad to help.

Bob's daughter, Julie Turner Vick, graduated in 1985 from Tarleton State University.
She joined the company in 1988 to help her mom, Maurice Turner, run the office.

Bob and Maurice retired recently but still live next door to the
company and help out if needed.
