Research Workinglands

AgriLife Research in real-world production environments across Texas

Texas A&M AgriLife Research operates several research workinglands — real farm and ranch operations where world-class scientists test emerging research, technologies and production methods.

AgriLife Research workinglands aim to simulate the production conditions that Texas farms and ranches face each day, making our leading-edge discoveries and innovations directly applicable to healthier lives, livelihoods and environments across the state.
