Welcome to Texas AgriLife Research.
AgriLife Research (formally known as Texas Agricultural Experiment Station) has a long history of conducting research that has served rural and urban Texans for the past 120 years. Today the more than 1700 employees of AgriLife Research conduct research statewide that strives to improve the quality, safety, and profitability of our food, feed, and fiber system.
