About the Division and North Carolina agricultural research
Agriculture research in North Carolina dates
back to 1877, when state legislation established
the North Carolina Department of Agriculture
along with “Experiment Stations” as a division
of the department. Since that time, the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services’ (NCDA&CS) Research
Stations Division, in partnership with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North
Carolina State University, has established 18
statewide locations.
Each facility has unique
climate and soil conditions, giving researchers
a living laboratory in which to investigate a
variety of regional crops, forestry concerns,
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture. The
Division supports these studies by providing
land, water, equipment, buildings, and staff who
work around the clock to help build a stronger
foundation for the future of agriculture.
