The records date from 1879 to 1985, but there are numerous gaps in the collection.The Agricultural Research Service began as the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station in 1877. The Experiment Station, the second of its kind in the United States, was established to conduct tests on commercial fertilizers and other agricultural products, as well as to perform experimental research on agricultural nutrition and growth. As such, the Experiment Station worked closely with the North Carolia Department of Agriculture.For current information on the location of these materials, please consult the Special Collections Research Center Reference Staff.EnglishInformation for UsersRestrictions to Access

Copyright Notice&ncsucpyrt; Historical Note

The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station was created by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture in 1877, and was the second station in the United States (after the one in Connecticut). The early activities of the station consisted of running tests on chemical fertilizers and other agricultural products, and performing experiments concerning crop nutrition and growth. The station was transferred from state control to North Carolina State University in 1889. Thereafter the station was jointly run by the two groups and became a source of contention between the Department of Agriculture and the University through the early part of the twentieth century. In 1979 the title "Agricultural Experiment Station" was changed to "Agricultural Research Service."

 Scope and Content Note

These records contain annual and biennial reports from the Agricultural Research Service from 1879 to 1985. Numerous gaps exist in the collection, as indicated in the list below. Several of the folders predating 1910 also contain additional reports consisting of selected information from the same year's annual report.

 Organization of the Collection

The records are organized chronologically, with the annual reports preceding the biennial reports.
