Agricultural education lecturer speaking to a class of adult men, 1966.

A man in a suit presents an agricultural education lecture for a class of adult men, 1966. The class sits on folding chairs at folding tables, with bags of corn kernels or soybeans in front of them as examples. The lecturer stands behind a lectern on a table, with a portable blackboard, a slide projector, and an overhead projector to his right. A young man in a suit stands by him holding a bag of corn or soybeans.

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.
