Auburn University. Agronomy and Soils Dept.

The Department of Agronomy and Soils is part of the College of Agriculture. Work in agronomy began at Auburn in the 1880s with the support of 3 of the early directors of the Agricultural Experiment Station, who were agronomists and also served concurrently as professors and administrators in Auburn's agricultural teaching division. In 1914 a Department of Crops and Soils was established and in 1930 the present name was adopted. The Department has operated the Soil Testing Laboratory since 1953.
