Agricultural Experiment Station

The Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) conducts research in agriculture, forestry, animal science and natural resources that benefits the citizens of Missouri.

This research is geared to making the most effective use possible of the state's natural resource base, including its people resources, in an increasingly global economy. We strive to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us.
