Wisconsin Agriculture Century Tied To Research Growth
UW agriculture dean Glenn S. Pound recalls the 1883 funding bill and 1885 farm short course as roots of Wisconsin's integrated agriculture program. He cites unity with the university, early dairy and livestock emphasis, and the Adams Act of 1906 as milestones, noting leaders Henry and Russell reshaped departments and the crucial role of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. The talk marks a centennial for the state’s experiment farms.
