Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture. Agricultural Experiment Station

The Agricultural Experiment Station began with the 1887 Hatch Act, to develop agricultural research and education. In addition, during the 1930s, it worked with other federal and state agencies, including the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Nevada Emergency Relief Administration, the Farm Credit Administration, and Indian Field Service on several projects. In 1939, the Experiment Station, together with the U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the Nevada Agricultural Extension Service, formed the Nevada State Land Use Planning Committee, a project to study farm planning on selected farms in Nevada.

The Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station was established with the Hatch Act in 1887, which provided an annual appropriation to each state to establish a nation-wide system of experiment stations, with a board of control to decide the agricultural problems to be studied. A lack of funds for the Nevada university removed the possibility of the station having its own staff and facilities, and the university president, Joseph E. Stubbs, was appointed director of the Nevada Experiment Station, the staff were university personnel, and the Board of Regents served as the Board of Control.
