The Division of Agriculture is a front door to the entire University of Arkansas System. We are unique among the System’s 18 campuses and units as the only one with a presence in all 75 counties.
Did you know? Since 1959 the Division of Agriculture has been a completely separate institution within the UA System.
4 The Division Family
The Division’s two parts are the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station (AAES), which has research as its primary mission, and the Cooperative Extension Service (CES), which delivers technologies and information to the people of Arkansas.
Division headquarters is on the University of Arkansas System’s administrative campus in Little Rock. AAES headquarters is at the Arkansas Agricultural Research University of Arkansas System Headquarters, Little Rock and Extension Center in Fayetteville. CES headquarters is adjacent to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
In addition to agricultural production and processing, Arkansas Is Our Campus our programs emphasize: n Environment and energy n Safe and nutritious food n Families and youth n Economic and community development
