Two researchers taking measurements with equipment in a field, with pigs in the background.

Two researchers in white lab coats take measurements with equipment in a field. One researcher monitors gauges connected to a machine and board by wires, while the other researcher studies an object on the connected board. Pigs and their housing are in the background. This may be an experiment for D. V. Catron, who studied changes in weights of baby pigs related to their diets.

The Agricultural Experiment Station began at the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm (now Iowa State University) as a result of the Hatch Act of 1887 and an act passed by the Iowa General Assembly in 1888. The purpose of the station is to conduct research relating to agriculture and associated disciplines and to disseminate that information. The name of the station was changed in in 1957 to Agricultural and Home Economics Experiment Station and again in 1966 to Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station.
