The Origins of Agriscience: Or Where Did All that Scientific Agriculture Come from?

Hillison, John

Journal of Agricultural Education, v37 n4 p8-13 1996

The Hatch Act of 1887 established agricultural education as primarily academic with a strong scientific base, supported by the leadership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Smith-Hughes Act shifted to vocational emphasis and leadership by the Federal Board for Vocational Education. Examination of the profession's history can lead back to agricultural science roots.
