About
From the Vice President
Welcome to the University of Arkansas System's Division of Agriculture.
We are proud to be among the 20 entities that belong to University of Arkansas System. We are even more proud to be the only institution of higher education with staff in all 75 of Arkansas' counties, as well as faculty and staff at three campuses: UA-Fayetteville, UA-Monticello and Arkansas State University.
The Division of Agriculture was created in 1959 to carry out two of the three traditional land grant missions: extension and research. Our research arm is the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. The Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service is our outreach arm.
Between the two, we work to fulfill our mission: We strengthen agriculture, communities, and families by connecting trusted research to the adoption of best practices. Watch our video to learn more.
